I very rarely have to fill the water container- it feels like just air is being blown- last year I had to fill the container every other day- help

I fill mine every day. I guess it all depends on how dry your air is; I don't know. I am very happy with mine.

I fill mine daily. I replace the wick/filter annually, since my water is so soft. It still evaporates well throughout the season.

The same here. I know I turned down the level of water added to the air this year becsue I found mold in the attic. Have you changed the pad in the machine as ours was coated with minerals which may inhibit the humidifying action.

You might want to check filter. In one year mine, due to high minerals in water in this area, becomes a solid block and little can be absorbed.

PS I am also wondering whether there is more moisture in the air this year due to snow.

Most likely the filter is dirty and not absorbing the water as readily. Either than, or the air is not as dry as it was last year-hardly likely.

You may need to change the paper filter. They get less effective as they age.

Check the humidity reading where your using it. Maybe the air just isn't as dry this year or furnace isn't running as much?

Aside from removing the plastic wrapping on the straw, here are some other things to check:1. Is the bottom piece of the straw/filter correctly attached. There is a small angle-cut groove that the make both parts a tight fit.2. Make sure the filter is locked into the cap. This can be tricky and is the main source of problem for me. The filter and cap are threaded, and a correct fit would leave the filter vertically straight. If the filter is not properly attached, you will literally be ingesting more air than water.

I love mine as well and have had mine for quite some time (over a year) and haven't had any problems. The only time it seems that the air pressure is less is when I've inadvertently failed to tighten the valve cap enough. Other than that being your possible problem I'm not sure what to offer as a solution. I use it along with adding a couple tablespoons of Alkalol and the results are just fantastic at stoping a cold in its tracks! Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

It doesn't take much air to fill this thing. One and a half pumps from my manual full-size pump will do it.

I haven't had that problem and I use my machine daily so I would say no, it's not normal. If it's not the outlet (do other appliances work using that same outlet?), the tank isn't empty, it sounds like the machine broke.

Hmmm...I've actually never experienced that. Sorry I couldn't be of more help. But could it be the chemicals your using to clean the pool? Also, the ring should only be partly inflated...the sun will inflate the rest. Shrugging beats me. Let me know if you find out what is causing it. Maybe call the manufacturer and see if they've had other customers complain of this.Have a great day.Hanna

They don't need air. I just change out the water every few months. Mine has actually grown.

I'm not sure. I haven't had that problem. I also only use distilled water so maybe that's why. I also keep the water in a gallon jug with some tin foil to cover the top. I don't use a completely open container for the water.

No air gets in at all. It is water coming out, not being pulled in. so it's impossible to get air.

clarify your question. I suspect you are overfilling the tank. You must allow "head room" so you can pump the tank up, filling the space with air.

I feel as though it is. I bought this and filled it up but could not get the lid to stay closed- rather it pushed up and partially out of the water. I returned the product.

It sounds like there is no suction. You may need to clean or replace the filters. That was my experience.

Bought one some time ago, what I found out is the air flow is low volume. Hold your hand over the top and you will feel a slight air flow.I installed a small computer system (thermal logger) and download the data every 6 months to check on the temperature and humidity. My readings are consistant year round. hope this helps

Try filling it less. My epica does not overflow, but I nevervfill it to the line

I had the same problem at first then I discoverd you have to make sure the rubber on the top is pushed all the way down in the cup part and the little push top is in too so there is no air is leaking out when you push down

I have noticed this also. I now keep mine in an air tight container and it seems to help.

There shouldn't be any air coming out when it's not attached to anything, you should contact the seller. Maybe one of the safety valves, pressure gauge, or fill port is loose?
