Clay water pots are a timeless and eco-friendly choice for storing and cooling drinking water naturally. But if you're new to using them, you might have a common concern: what if the pot leaks?
At Village Decor, we often hear questions like:
- "Will it leak from the bottom?"
- "Is sweating normal?"
- "What if it cracks during use?"
Let’s break it down and help you feel confident about using our traditional terracotta water pots.
1. Sweating Isn’t Leaking—It’s a Feature!
Clay is naturally porous, which allows a small amount of water to seep through the walls of the pot. This process:
- Helps cool the water naturally
- Is completely normal and safe
- May leave the outer surface slightly damp, especially in warm weather
Tip: Place a small tray or coaster beneath your pot to collect any condensation.
2. What True Leaks Look Like
If you see water dripping or pooling under the pot continuously, that might be a sign of:
- A crack or manufacturing defect
- Damage from improper handling during delivery or use
But don’t worry—we’ve got your back!
3. Our Quality Check Process
At Village Decor, every clay water pot is:
- Carefully handcrafted and sun-dried
- Inspected for cracks or weak spots
- Tested to ensure zero leakage before packaging
- Seasoned before delivery, so it’s ready to use after a simple water rinse
4. What to Do If You Suspect a Leak
Still feel something’s off? Here’s what you can do:
- Fill the pot halfway and place it on a dry surface
- Wait 2–3 hours and check for dripping or wet spots
- If it’s just damp and cool, that’s natural cooling in action
- If water pools continuously, contact us right away
All products are backed by our hassle-free return policy. We make sure you receive only the best.
5. How to Handle with Care
To extend the life of your pot and avoid accidental cracks:
- Don’t place it on uneven or rough surfaces
- Avoid dragging it when full
- Handle gently during washing and refilling
