Just got this. Most of the time the water comes out hot clear. Very aggravating. Any suggestions to what I'm doing wrong?

It sounds like you are either not using enough coffee, or you are using a filter, which is not needed. It takes at least 6 heaping tablespoons of coffee.

Perhaps the grounds are wrong, do you await the light going on? Some suggest using a paperfilter but I don't mind grinding it fine and having a bit of silt Or two grinding runs, usually, one coarse and the top fine (not too fine ... caffeine is a certain size, like LSD, it gets smaller in your system )

Make sure you fill water below the spout opening. You could also try cleaning it with 1/4 cup vinegar and fill with water just below opening and run full cycle. Then empty and make fresh pot of coffee.

Return it, I returned mine because it made the coffee taste funny and did not keep the coffee hot.

Only thing I can think of is that the center tube in which the boiling water needs to rise is somehow clogged. Or perhaps the water is not reaching boiling temperature and therefore cannot bubble up the tube.

Mine isn't doing this. I would use some very diluted bleach and clean it very well and replace the filter. Search for the dilution you'll need on the bleach and water for cleaning.

I have seen mixed opinions about the water flow. I personally had this same issue. But I took the filter off the faucet then took unscrewed the filter out of its housing and made sure all the water was out of filter then did the reinstall steps like I was puting a new filter in. I then put the fu lter back on the faucet. Then very slowly turned the water on to slowly fill the filter with water. And behold I got my flow back I had before. I think there was a air pocket in the filter. Give it a try see what you think. i hope this helps let me know.

To Carol J. Moore. I noticed the first time I used mine that if the dirty water intake part is not put on perfectly, the machine will not suck out the water. I, too, thought the machine had quit working but fiddle with the fit, make sure it clips own low and tight on the front so you will get a good suction. It is easy once out get the hang of it, but csn be confusing.

Water doesn't get hot, at least not on mine. I've only used it a couple of times so far. Sorry can't be of more help. Carol

Is this a new machine? It sounds like there may be something wrong with it. If new, maybe you should return it and get another. What kind of salt are you using? I've never had this problem so can't really offer any kind of solution. My machine is still keeping the water clear and fresh. I use Morton Pool Salt sold at Walmart.

Have not had that problem, I have well water. I do drain the supply tube hose when finished. This may help.

I own two of them and I have never had that problem. Check to make sure that the filter screen is not dirty and clogged, I know that this will make it run hot.

Same issue with this and a former model for us. The solution is to turn it down. Yes the water isn't as hot, but...

Did your breaker trip? As long as water is being supplied and drawn, it should get hot unless there is no electricity! Have you cleaned out the filter on the intake, it may be clogded and no water going thru! Trying to think what might cause the problem.

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.

I didn't have any issues. Could be due to local temps/humidity. Rinse with warm water to clear it.

Sounds like your filter may be misaligned. Try taking it out and reinstalling it again. Never use hot water as that will damage your filter.

I just noticed nasty bits in the water holding/bottle steaming area. Sending mine back :/ I have been cleaning it as prescribed, it's just too gross! I don't like that I cannot completely clean it out. You can't see down where the water goes.

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 did not have that problem with the one I purchased. Maybe, leave it outside in the sun, or immerse it in hot water? Good luck..
