Why won't the solution mix with the water as it comes out. I've tried setting the dial all the way past the hump in the plastic, etc.

This spray system is junk. Mine fell apart with bottle half full. Now what to do with what is left. Also moss was not killed suspect did not mix properly.

Another reviewer commented on this same problem. He was instructed by customer support to push down on the clear plastic ring where the water reservoir connects to the machine. We had same problem but because of his review, tried that and the machined primed beautifully!

I've never had that problem, although the pressure is quite high when I open the valve completely. Have you tried just opening the dial a tiny bit at first and slowly opening it to the desired pressure?

I had the same problem so I called Clairol. You must push DOWN on the pump while turning counter-clock-wise. TA-DA!

I suggest make it mixing water and this as well use the liquid forme it works great. Comes ready to use.

The dial works but you cannot set the temperature there to the specific degree you want. I tested it with a thermometer until it reached more or less the temperature I want. My perception is that it not always stops at the same degree but it works for me anyway. Is better that another I had that only stops when is is boiling.

Have you tried removing the dial and then put it back in place? I don't seem to have that problem.

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!

Not to sound like captain obvious or anything but perhaps you are putting in to much water? I would play with the levels a bit. I fill it to just below the line and mine come out great every time. It takes some experimenting but is worth it once you get it down. Good luck

I'm having the same problem and haven't figured it out yet. I've had this skimmer for over a month now and so far, it's useless. If you get a good answer, please let me know.

I am glad those who have answered aren't having this problem, but I really am only interested in resolving my problem and hearing from anyone who has the same issue only, not that some people don't have this issue, that doesn't help at all. I have researched other websites and find there are many others who also have this problem, has something to do with internal plastic. Guess it's time to move onto a new mixer.

I'm sorry, didn't encounter this problem. The only thing I can think of is to ensure it's set securely in/on the base. The dials won't turn unless it's on the base properly.

change the direction of the arms and then run water thru it...make sure they are turning in the correct direction in order for it to move forward...I've done the same..... also make sure that the stop underneath it is not triggered/stuck

Most likely you are overfilling the water container. Fill it up to 1/2 inch from the top.

I added the formula to the existing water (make sure you have good circulation) and didn't do a water change until I had completed the treatment (it suggests this on the bottle as well). Just be very careful with scaless fish such as puffers b/c the treatment is pretty toxic for them.

I have the exact same problem. It is not the soap/water ratio because the other tops work just fine with what was in the bottom. Were you ever able to find a solution to make it work again?

There should not be water in the dial. All it should do is to move the "Needle" to the correct pressure.I believe the gauge is defective.
