What am I doing wrong with the neti pot? Any suggestions?

Try a different angle. I keep my head tilted, but not at a 90 degree angle--that's too much. Also, don't lean back too much. Just lean forward over the sink a little, but with your head up. You should be upright enough to see yourself in the mirror. It takes getting used to, but eventually you will find the right position. If you're really stuffed up, some of it does go down your throat, though.

Try re-seating the kettle in the heating cradle. The light will come on when it starts heating. It may take a couple of tries to get it to work at first, but it should work pretty good from then on.

Hi - I'm not sure, but the problem appears to be one with securing the top on the pot. While depressing the release button, secure the far end in the hole near the top of the pan, and then secure the other end (where you crank) firmly into the pan as well. Once you've got them both secured, you should have no problem!

my bet is you have oxidation... not uncommon with new items that you dont wash first, or if your water is treated with chemicals that would be a factor too...........filter your water, and clean and sanitize the pot and lid with good water, then try again and you should be fine.

Assume you have a standard neti pot that is shaped like an small elongated teapot. I have a plastic one I bought on Amazon after I broke 2 ceramic ones. I use the tiny scoop that came inside the jar. Use 1 level scoopful

Mine works perfectly. Be sure the swivel bar inside, is over the basket when you finish loading the pot. I had a little trouble in the beginning.

Sounds like it is defective. It should boil for a short time and then maintain the temperature you set. I should not keep boiling.

Try cleaning with vinager, trying running it thru the brewing cycle. If that doesn't work, send it back. I didn't have that problem with mines.

I think there is something internally wrong with it. Return it and get a new one.best wishes

As long as you do not overfill the pot, it will not come out of the top. When you are looking into the neti pot, there is a mini-ledge at the point the handle joins the body. You should stay a smidgen below that line, to avoid overfilling. It is very important to keep your hand level when using it, however. Despite this small issue, I MUCH this design to the conventional neti pot.

The handle, unfortunately, is hollow. There are two holes INSIDE of the Netipot, that essentially forms a tunnel in the handle. This is an area that also will need to be cleaned thoroughly with pipe cleaners when cleaning the Netipot.

Hi, the pot I'm using is NO option on that issue. From the label (spec.), it is 480W. Thanks for asking. Wing Lau.

I am doing the same thing, did you just desolder the board pot and run wires to your new one? Also what would the effect be if using a higher resistance pot instead of a 5k? Thank you.

Pot is top of the line. I agree it could be that your burner will not go low enough. A flame tamer works great.

I suspect that you didn't have the top properly attached; it is a little tricky to get it right. I've found the best way to learn how to use it is NOT to prepare some elaborate meal where there is a lot at invested (time and money.) You know you can cook nothing, then try it till you get it right. (Tip: get a round shaped, chrome-plated heat diffuser for the bottom to cut down on cooking errors.) Good look, it's worth it to master this cooker. Lance

What did you clean in it?Did you try cleaning with a steal wool without soap on it. A fine grade. Can get it at any hardware store. Use dawn liquid dish soap.will have to scrub to remove black marks.The pot should be fine to use since you used dishwasher soap witch is used all the time for cleaning dishes you eat on.I have canning pots that change color because of chemical reactions and are fine just discolored.

This sounds like a defect to me. I would contact Hamilton or see if Amazon can replace the coffee pot. I've never had this problem.
