I was really excited to start using it, but then I got it all ready and I go to pump it down and the air stays trapped in the rubber part? Help!

There is a silicone valve, in the upper reservoir, designed to keep water in when no pressure is applied. That valve has a slit that may not have been fully opened during manufacturing. It is a simple fix. Take the valve out (something you'll do from time to time for cleaning anyway) and pinch it to make the slit open. Once you've done so, re-insert the valve and you should be good to go.

i have had this happen,its because it didnt get a proper hole punched in the bottom or the top of the k cup,just redo and you should be good to go,,some brand of the k cups are a little diff

Check to be sure that the plastic needle actually punctured the bottom of the K cup. Sometimes the bottom of the cup caves in, but doesn't get punctured. I snap the cup into the base quickly to make sure it works right.

I've had that happen to me. The problem was that the K-cup didn't puncture properly. I just removed the K-cup, turned it a little and re-inserted it. Making sure that it fully punctured. Worked like it was supposed to. Hope that helps.

I haven't had that problem but I also haven't had the puncture issue others have discussed in reviews. I'd definitely check the k cup to be sure it punctured all the way through.

Make sure you screw the bottom section on tight so it will puncture the k cup and tilt the top (hard piece) slightly to one side as it can pull air in to refill the space after you push down

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

Had the same problem. Be sure to check things pointed out by others here, but none of those fit my problem. I think I just wasn't giving enough pressure. Essentially, this is a French Press operated by air power. First time I got it to work, I eventually stood on a stool in order to get enough pressure, straight down. Solved the problem, am smarter now and don't need the stool. This is a terrific little gadget!

That's a tough one. Seems I have to actually start using slight force at about 30 PSI. My tires need 50, so from 30 to 50 it gets a bit tiring. Still not hard, just a lot of pumping. Also seems the faster I pump the better it works. Slow and steady doesn't seem to move the gauge.

hmmm send it back. it should work to push the jellyfidh up with air. it should push air for a few seconds then wait a few sconds. sounds like you have a faulty one. we've had ours for 3 yrs.

Did you insert it into the white hole/valve thing? maybe you need to insert it just a bit further. Otherwise sounds like you did everything right. Maybe your pump is bad, try another. Good luck!

this has not been a problem for me. Are you zeroing it out? Has this been a problem from the first for you? Mine has always settled in, but there are occassions when it does kind of go back and forth between for example 27g and 28 g if you are really on the edge of a little more than 27g and a little less than 28g. I hope this is helpful. If yours is bouncing all over then perhaps you have a defective one. I hope this is helpful. Good Luck.

I had the same problem! Hold the center ring, in between the pump and base, then spin the pump.

I just assembled mine and tried it as well, the vapor is coming out the bottom, I tried the wiggle technique, but still no help. I emailed the company but guess I won't hear back until Monday.

I had a similar problem...I would suggest making sure your not fighting gravity. Other wise then that send the damn thing back

Hello, I have a release valve pressure gauge on my unit. When I press to button air is released into the tire. I read the new pressure and decide if the ire needs more air or not. If air is not being released try pressing the small valve at the stem? If air does not come out then you have a problem with the hose connector. Hope that helps. The unit has work fine for me.

Because I was in a hurry to use it, I just did it by mouth and quickly capped it so I didn't have this problem. Maybe it is more difficult if you inflate it with a needle?! I'm over 70 so it was a little difficult for me to get on initially but once I found out how it works for me I no longer have that problem.

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?

It appears like you haven't inserted the needle deep enough, so you actually don't really inflate the disc. There is no place for the air from the pump to go out, so you see 60 psi. It shouldn't be that high. Try to insert the needle deeper while pumping, and see when the air starts going out into the disc.

I just push down on the side some for a few minutes. Once enough I the water I out I can then open the air plug and release the air. The water flows out thereafter!! Hope this helps.

Be sure to only fill halfway. Pump the heck out of it in the beginning. It takes a few times to get the pressure to build. It will never be as fine as an aerosol

Mine leaked air when I first bought it...I took it apart, polished the inside of the reservoir and replaced the O-rings...after that, it would hold air indefinitely...

It takes only a few moments to inflate, check the connection to the pump, make sure it's secure and the right side up, also check all the lines so there is no air leaking from them. If all else fails, you can contact the vendor, they've been very responsive to questions.

I had the same problem. My friend put it on the floor and exerted some pressure and it released good luck
