How can I get these to work consistently? Sometimes I screw them on and I can't get liquid to flow out at all, and other times they work just fine. What's the trick?

There is a little slit in the silicone stopper. I have to squeeze it open before each time I put the cap on. There is a sweet spot between too tight and too loose when the lid screws on also. I think because air needs to flow between the silicone and the cap itself for the liquid to come through.

I agree and ended up just taking out the plastic insert. The water comes out really fast but it is better than the hassle with the plastic part in.

This might sound funny, but we found that you need to make sure you don't put the lid on too tight. If you do then nothing comes out.

We personally don't have this problem on our 2 brushes. Either the wrong heads as described by James or maybe you don't push them hard enough on the brush? They needs quite some force to lock onto the actuator.

I am having the same problem with mine. My friend tested it and found it works okay at some water pressures but not others.

It sounds like the base, cup and lid aren't connected properly. If they aren't, it won't run. Make sure they are aligned properly, if it don't run, do it all over. I guess it is one of those safety features. Mine did that about a month ago, then I got it to work! Good luck, I sure hope I was able to help you. :)

It is faulty, I have had several of these and once in a while you get one like this...sorry but they are cheap. The one I have now flows great too, like most do. It must be something to do with manufacture process...FYI

put lock tight on the screws and let dry per directions, mine have not been loose since. you have to put it on correctly or it will not work.

Jo, do you have the lid on tight? If you pump up the presure, listen for any hissing or air escaping. Do you have the wand connection tight also? Also, the tip,.. if you have it on too tight it will not spray. And, if you are spraying a product that is semi liquid, it would clog up quick.

Great question, why yes they do! I tried 2 (out of three) and both leaked. Turn them on the side or upside down, I had leaks from the connection of the sprayer to the screw on cap. Unfortunately, it can't be remedied. They mist well, but if you want to store liquid, probably not a great idea. Good value. but you get what you pay for sometimes.

I have not had any problems with mine... Sometimes if you do not line up the bottom right when you screw them on they will leak (just like anything with a screw cap). What I noticed is that water can get stuck in the bottom (Between the white "ring" and the bottle plastic) and it seems like the bottle is leaking but its not.

It is possible to get them to work at the same time but only by very careful adjustment with the selection valve, the water flow from each will be low. I don't think it was designed to work that way.

You probably don't have the tanks back on correctly. They have to fit just right to make the connection. Just take them off and reset them and then try again.

I have without any problems. Just like with any liquid, don't fill them too full.

You have to barely turn on the water to get the sprayers going. If its on too hard they will not work. I would try that first. If that still does not work the company will replace them if you contact them.

Thanks for your response. Do they go on quite easily? I find the ones that I am currently using will work for about 2 cm and then stop.

I had the same problem....theyre 2 different kinds of ends. So they have to be placed in the correct hole or they continue to fall out....not a very good diagram on the bottom of the mixer itself, but it is there....hope this helps

I have this problem, too. The nut doesn't seem to be threaded all the way through, and so can only screw so far onto the long allen bolt - leaving the flanges hanging loose. Not obvious what to do.

I have used a couple of these style connectors. One works great .. no leaks etc. Another one , with a nozzle connected to it leaks slightly. Haven't been able to deremine why, but the leak, while a little annoying, hasn't been enough for me to delve into it any further. Bottom line: I will continue to use these as needed, all things considered, a quick and easy solution !
