I hear a boiling sound as the mist evaporates. Is that normal or did I assemble it wrong?

That boiling sound is the normal sound of creating the mist. That is exactly how this unit humidifies your home. It is a sign that the tank is empty when you don't hear the boiling sound.

When I originally put mine back together, I assembled it incorrectly - limiting my hot water. I went back and realigned the gears on the temperature selector so that it would give me the entire range of temps.

You should not have water around the unit. It could be you are positioning the mist into the indentation in the top that is then overflowing. Other than that I would say your unit is malfunctioning. Good luck.

Check the water level in the tank to make sure there is enough water for it to run. Check the dial that controls the volume/output to ensure that it's turned up high enough. When the water tank is placed on the base, you'll hear a gurlging sound as the water fills the resevoir. If you don't hear that, it may not be placed on the base properly or a valve may be stuck. The mist will not come out at a strong force, but you should be able to see it when the humidifier is turned up at least 1/2 way.

I would purge the system completely. The pump should make a coiling sound . Also invest in a tds meter. Does it taste worse that the tap water? If so you might have it plumbed backwards.

It's noticeable but not the worst I've heard. Putting it up high (be careful, drippage) might block it. We had music and the noise wasn't a problem. Can definitely talk over it.Please be aware that I personally had TERRIBLE dripping problems with mine but perhaps it was a defective item. Best of luck if you purchase!

Might be the valve on the water tank. Other than signaling that the brew cycle is done a little early, no issues for me.

Not enough info to give help. I've used mine dozens of times with no problems. Is air being pumped into the bottle? You should be able to see the water bubbling inside.

I'm not sure what the problem could be, I have not had any problems like that. Be sure the mist does not come too close to furniture or any thing else. Other than that, I really don't know what it could be.

Mine made a noise but it was do to air leaking in through one of the connections, once I tighten it and the air trapped got out it stopped.

You should see the mist immediately. Make sure the rubber stopper is on the body of the unit (the "On" switch), not the top. Next, try spinning the top so that the metal contacts touch those on the body of the unit. The top should go on easily and with a little magnetic pull. If this doesn't happen, it's not rotated correctly. That's all there is to it.

It is a quiet unit. You don't hear a humming, motor sound do you?That bubbling sound you hear is the ultrasonic process of water turning into mist.

It makes some boiling sound, kind of a white noise sort of thing. I don't find it bothersome at all.

No, it's an evaporative. You won't see the vapors like with a mist humidifier.

It makes the sound of boiling water, I might suggest an immersion heater instead, but they do not boil water- other than the 5 minutes of raising water temp till 212- it make no mechanical noises

Not surprised. Mine isn't producing much mist and I expect it will quit any day now. Unhappy with this purchase and not cheap. I would send it back or email the manufacturer.

That would be my guess as well. Had it happen only once and did let it heat a while before using. Think the excess water turned to steam and all was well. I love my steamer.
