Sounds like a question for Dr Drew...but I'll give it a go. Here's what I'd test....Put a bit of WATER in the container and assemble everything, then pump the handle just a FEW times. Then SLOWLY unscrew where the hose connects to the container, does air escape? If not, then either there's an issue with THAT seal, there's an issue with the pump:container seal, or there's an issue with the pump itself. If air does escape, then screw it back on and pump it once. Then unscrew the spray nozzle tip all the way and pull the trigger, does air/water escape? If so, then there was an issue with the nozzle being too tight. If not, then the tube or nozzle are likely clogged and then take an air car with the little included hose and open the trigger then spray the air into the tube to clean out the system, then from the nozzle side. Does this fix it?

I would try a little water in there and I had to do some adjusting on the tip when I first used it but once I got it adjusted we were fine. Listen for air leaks and make sure you have that tip adjusted for the right spray.

i had the same issue and found that it was the solid rubber washer in the spray valve. it appeared to be stuck in the valve chamber. i flipped it over in desperation and now it works fine. the older model had a built in tool in the spray lever to un-tighten the valve chamber.

Jo, do you have the lid on tight? If you pump up the presure, listen for any hissing or air escaping. Do you have the wand connection tight also? Also, the tip,.. if you have it on too tight it will not spray. And, if you are spraying a product that is semi liquid, it would clog up quick.

First try pump alone in pan of water.even on lo some water should flow thru. There is a dial on side of pump minus to plus. Turn it to plus for maximum flow rate. If nothing comes out it probably is defective It should move one half inch tube of water around one foot up

Like most every other kind of pump, it needs to be "primed". I got mine to work by repeatedly and briskly pressing it down. It may also help to prime it with a lower viscosity fluid like water first, then refill with the thicker lotion or soap product.

Look for Simple Wishes pumping bra online, great bra! Just be sure not to walk away from what doing (I like to computer surf while pumping) b/c you forget your attached to the pump! I did that a couple times, sometimes loosing my milk and practically breaking my pump. Better yet, do your pumping over a soft surface if possible, JIC.

Since this was a gift to my Daughter in Ca. had to wait for an answer, this is what she said..hit it about 10 times, then you'll hear the strong bursts on the next few pumps. 3 pumps works for me. Good luck!

No it didn't, do you have the matching pump ? Because I think the instructions on that were with the pump. If not you can contact them, their customer service is great !! Good luck :) best of wishes new Momma

Did you use just oil or have oil & spices? I've been using mine for months with no problem. I have to pump it pretty much every time I use it. Sorry yours doesn't work. I'd send it back.

Did you unscrew the spout - counterclockwise. You may have to really hold the lid part while you do it. Then fill and pump.

If talstar clogs your sprayer then this probably will too. That said you might want to switch to a bigger nozzle. You don't want to atomize this stuff, just put out a stream or mist to dry on a surface. It will minimize the amount you breathe in and maximize the effectiveness

The spray should come out with force. I would send it back for a replacement. Good luck!!!

I haven't been able to make it mist. It may be because my goal was for it to spray.

I've had no trouble with the spraying -- it's very good, actually -- but I could never find an appropriate refill. I even checked the Bissell website and didn't find a refill. It was very annoying, and I just finally threw the thing out. Sorry I couldn't be more helpful. (I generally now use a product called Fizzion.)

It sounds like you may have a clogging issue. Try inserting a different bottle to see if it is the bottle first. If it still doesn't spray you may have a defective mop. I haven't had that issue...yet. Like others have said too...it has to be pushed down all the way.

Take the motor out. There is a slide switch one side that determines how hard it pumps. Make sure this is set to at least medium (in the middle) or up it to high.When I first hot mine, I had to put it on high for the first week or so and then I was able to turn it down a little.

I have had a problem on a few occasions where I couldn't fill it. I just took the pump off and put it back on again while pushing down harder. It worked then. Hope that helps. I have only used a small hand pump too.

Did you have a pump included. That was more than I had. I went to Walmart and purchased one. I took a while and I still don't have them pumped up very well. I did find if you angle the pump needle a bit it helps, but good luck. It's definitely not easy! Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

I have used both a hand sprayer and a small pump sprayer. It just depends on how much you have to do or if you just get tired of squeezing the hand type
