Troubleshooting
Water is not flowing freely when pouring
Ensure the cap is not screwed on too tightly, which can create a vacuum. Loosening the cap slightly may improve flow. Also, check that the spout area is clear of obstructions.
Difficulty in opening or closing the cap
Check for any debris caught in the cap threads. If the cap is stiff, try running it under warm water briefly (after emptying) to slightly expand the plastic, then attempt to open or close it. Ensure threads are clean and free of dirt.
The jerry can smells or tastes unusual
Rinse the container thoroughly with warm water and a mild soap. Allow it to air dry completely in sunlight (if possible) or a well-ventilated area. For stubborn odors, a diluted vinegar solution can be used for cleaning, followed by thorough rinsing.
Minor leaks from the cap seal
Ensure the cap is screwed on straight and tightened firmly. Inspect the cap seal for any damage or debris. If the seal is damaged, consider replacing the cap.
