If you are familiar with mineral makeup there are several YouTube videos on how to make your own airbrush makeup. Its pretty inexpensive and uses up old products you may already have. If not its fairly cheap to purchase and make your own. I have tried it and have successfully made my own foundation and eye shadows. The machine will clog from time to time if you don't thouroghly clean it I find alcohol works to clean it and disinfect it. Just use regular drug store rubbing alcohol half fill the tank or cup and spray it onto paper towels or the overly given napkins at most fast food places. Good luck to you and happy make-up-ing!!

Yes. Their brand is water based and goes on smoothly. I since my airbrush system after each use and use alcohol or cleaner every other use. I have not experienced any clogging.

I bought this for a friend of mine, she loves it. It hasn't clogged but the spring has lost tension but I fixed it for her, the biggest issue is trying to find the make up for it cause it is water based no one carries it

hi Joel; It's my first time using powder...I grow in soil. I never had any clogging problems while mixing...I feel if you mix the water well you will not have a problem. I use a paint mixer attached to a cordless drill for mixing.

Can't directly answer your question but will say that we have had our unit for several months and always use distilled water. It's a little expensive but we haven't any dust! 3rd

A couple of things come to mind. Is the panel dirty and need to be wiped? The pump may be working but the intake could be clogged and needs to be cleaned out? Is the pump submersed fully? I found my pump not working (but I can't see mine) because it was above the water line, adding water solved it.

sounds a little as if the suction pump isn't running or even blocked, amazingly I have stones in my pool, birds drop them in. I should also add that if you've got heavy duty cleaning to do then the bags fill up pretty quickly, likewise algae just goes straight through as the mesh isn't fine enough.1. Check pump is running.2. Check inlet isn't blocked.3. Heavy duty or algae give manual vacuum.

A regular pump sprayer is fine with this- I haven't had any problems with clogging. Just be sure not to use a sprayer that previously held weed killers or you may inadvertently knock off some of the plants you are trying to protect.

I use distilled water. I have read that tap water can cause the steamer to clog.

We only use distilled water. That keeps it from having any mineral deposit build up, and extends the life of the machine.

Karen, I am not using any filter on the input. The water source is relatively free of sand / chunks / etc. However, the water does have a high iron content which does build up a sludge on the impeller and rotor (magnet attracts the iron) that needs to be cleaned about every 3 to 4 months (operates continuously using captured groundwater). The pump / impeller can be removed pretty easily for cleaning. Hope that helps. If necessary, I would imagine it would not be too hard to extend the inlet with some vinyl tubing and put some kind of screen on the tube ... maybe a filter from an aquarium aerator or something like that. The concern would be that the filter plugs up if too fine a mesh. Karen, I am not using any filter on the input.

I have the same item for the same amount of time and have had no issues with it. I clean it after each use just to make sure it doesn't get clogged up.

No never had an issue could be from your water, if it is hard, minerals, use a bottle of drinking water see if that clears it.

I replaced my DE with this stuff early in the summer. I have been very happy with the results of this. Much less messy, has not clogged once only have to use that release arm a few times. I have not had to backwash, (mostly because I have not used the filter to clean the pool. Rather I have been letting the debris spill into a bucket with a net, while this costs water I have a leaf and acorn problem that clogs the strainer too often) Hope this helps. I recommend this stuff....

I use it to grind down concrete floors teamed with a Dust Deputy and I've never had a problem with dust or filters clogging. I imagine it would be the same with drywall dust, just make sure you have the proper attachments to fit your sander though I have used Ferncos to adapt to different tool dust ports.

Yes, I've started having problems with mine after 7 months. I thought it may be the filter but they said not. They sent me three parts I have to try to replace and see if that works. It seems like the don't want to give out new filters. My suction is fine for about 5 minutes and you can see the diffence. There are no clogs but the motor overheats and shuts down. I'll see what the parts do but I don't thing they are the problem.

This is a submersible pump. It's the first pump I've owned that didn't clog with debris regularly. I'm very impressed.

I aven't ot a clue! I wondered te same thing. I guess we will just have to contact the seller, huh. I find that the pump intake clogs up frequently. Calls for a lot of cleaning. I love it though.

We use our pump to drain water off our pool cover. If the water is dirty, it pumps the dirty water off the cover. If there is any kind of debris, like leaves, tree seeds, etc, there is a screen on the bottom that stops stuff from coming through the pump. We set our pump on a frisbee and the leaves and such settle there and when it gets full of leaves surrounding the base of the pump, we unplug it and clear it off and plug the pump back in. We have never had our pump get clogged.
