Check the two spring loaded valves on the bottom of the canister. One may be stuck open. Try pushing them up to reseat them. The tank must be fully inserted into the top of the unit until there is a loud click sound at the release lever.

Mine was doing this. After 5 or 6 attempts to clean etc, I unplugged, removed the water tank, took it outside, tipped it upside down and gave it a good shake. Turned it up again and water started to dribble from the nozzle. Fitted it all back together, and it works again. Small blockage moved.

Unfortunately I have done it before, if possible try a few cycles of "fresh" (not salt) water through the air intake and pump. Then, run upside down to remove any salt left on valve and in pump. Clean all battery terminals, Hope this helps!

I just got one and it leaked out the hole in the back. I found the problem to be the way the tank was molded. The ribs in the tank shrink more during the molding process, so the area where the round rubber seal hits the tank isn't flat, hence the leak. I bought some epoxy for plastic and put it in the grooves where the seal hits. That seems to have stopped the leak even with a full tank of water. The epoxy cost about $6 at hardware. After the epoxy started to harden, I scraped off excess and the sanded with fine sandpaper to make smooth. It took 1/2 hr to do but worth the effort. I hope this helps someone that is frustrated with the unit.

I've had the same problem! It's impossible to get the water out too! Could there be a missing gasket? If you get an answer, please let me know. Thanks!

Don't know for sure, but try contacting them about your concern. It wouldn't take much to fix the problem, just more packing to keep the tank from sliding back & forth in the box.

Try by passing the float switch by plugging the motor in directly. You may also need more water. Sometimes they vapor lock when they are new and the water can't get to the switch.

Might want to try to libricate the hsndle assembly with wd40 and turn down the pressure of the water coming into the tank. Hope this helps.

I had the same problem but I also was aware of it before I bought it. I think it is just the force of the suction that pulls the dirt out and it may just be a problem with the bottom filter loaders. My solution is to use the remote to place the unit near the shallow end and pull it up to the sun shelf. I place it there and then remove it. In essence I incrementally pull the unit out of the water. That's what works for me.

Sounds like a common problem. You will have to measure the original tank and and be aware of the filler cap as to where it is located. Also take note of the screw locations for securing the tank in place. on this tank there are 4 screw locations. 2 on either narrow sides. Hopes this helps.

Adjust the position of the hose weight per the instructions. That should fix it.

Any time I have had a similar problem, it had something to do with the seal between the head and the tank. Take a good look at the seal in the groove on the head, and take a paper towel and use a small screw driver to wipe it clean. Then make sure you really tighten the head to the tank. If this did not work, and your unit has a pressure relieving valve, check and make sure it is not leaking when tank is pumped and pressurized. If the wand is somehow leaking you may have to buy a new wand.I'd put my money on the seal between the tank and head.

I had that problem time to time after the first few years. An easy solution is, while it's on and seems to be stuck, pick it up straight out of the water and shake it side to side and front to back for about 15 seconds and place it back in the water. Hope this helps!

You may have a defective tank. Mine screwed in tight to the tank and there is no leak

There is a hole on top of reservoir. There is a line for detergent solution and water. Hope that helps

The filter holder should lift out of the water tank. You can replace the filter and slide it back in to place.
