I am using and cleaning for the first time by letting water flow through, as the manual suggests. But water does not drip out. Should I return?

I had the same problem I found out it was because I didn't fill the inner tank, you can add water to it when you put it in you will see bubbles keep pulling it out and putting it back in till the bubble stop then wait till the prime light goes on then turn on the pump and it will start flowing don't worry

Follow JohnG's advice. Just insert/remove the water tank a few times to prime. Works like a champ.

Mine took a little while for the pump to prime and for the water to come out the first time. I, too, almost sent it back, but was very glad I didn't. Make sure that your water tank is seated all the way down into the holding area. Pull it up and push it back down a couple of times to make sure.

Not sure what tour question is, but am wondering if you turned off the water supply before installing. I've forgotten this step and had it leak. Once I redid the installation process, it worked quote fine. If that's not the problem, maybe it is a defective filter? Wishing you luck.

First try pump alone in pan of water.even on lo some water should flow thru. There is a dial on side of pump minus to plus. Turn it to plus for maximum flow rate. If nothing comes out it probably is defective It should move one half inch tube of water around one foot up

wow - can't imagine where it would leak - I wouldn't use it until I figured it out! I'd check the space where the water is pumped up to - sounds like you should be able to fix it though - good luck

Just make sure the vacuum part at the bottom is clean. I had the same issue but turned out the brushes at the bottom had stuff rapped around it blocking the water to come out.

I assume that you are dialing 1, or 2 on the dial and water is not coming out. If this is the case, ensure that the sprayer/nozzle is coming down, and it does not stay retracted. I read in the instructions that you may have to pull it down the first couple of times. Mine worked fine the first time. Hope this works.

same happened to me as well. I'm returning it for another reason though which is it leaks from everywhere!

the tip of the water pic turns opening the water flow, when it is completely closed I have no dripping. It also determines the force of the water coming out.

I just went through this issue as well, with the New and Improved filters...as Special Etc mentioned, it was because I hadn't pushed down on the filter enough to create a seal. I could actually see water leaking out the bottom, in addition to it pouring out the 4 holes. After pulling it out, re-inserting it and pushing it down hard, it sat much better and the filtering was back to normal again.

same here- tried cleaning it, no luck- when I first turn it on a lot of mist comes out and then hardly any, then puffs, then nothingedit- just poured out a lot of the water out of the cup and it works beautifully again! I think it requires a lot less water in the cup than you might think...I misplaced the measuring cup that came with mine. Although if yours doesn't mist at all that's probably not the problem....edit again- it ran out of water before the cycle was done...so that doesn't seem right to me either

Hi George, I would first check the pressure in the holding tank to make sure it is correct. Have seen where water will come out fast but trickle off quickly and this is sometimes the problem.

Did you check if maybe you overfilled the unit? If not, than maybe you should return for a new one. I have had mine for 6 months and i have never had a leak. So maybe your unit could be defected?

If I'm understanding your question. the water is going from the bottle into the machine, but not coming out onto the carpet. I had the same thing when I first got it. You have to loosen the blue collar around the base of the handle and extend the handle all the way up, then tighten the collar again. For some reason, this is necessary for the unit to work properly. Hope this helps you.

I would try a little water in there and I had to do some adjusting on the tip when I first used it but once I got it adjusted we were fine. Listen for air leaks and make sure you have that tip adjusted for the right spray.

I had that same problem with the Essence/Elite models...However the heads on this easy clean model are different you just pop the new one in and go. So less chance of water getting down in side and creating that nasty build up we have to clean every once in a while. I believe this is a much better design and I've only been using for about 2 days so I'll check back in a month and post my findings.

I think you have a faulty humidifier. Mind did the same thing. So I emptied it and started all over. I did not leak again but the vapor did not come out of the top funnel, it came out of the seam in the bottom of the humidifier. I returned the item.

I don't transport water in mine. It does drip some after you dump the extra water out, but mine do not "leak"
