There is a part on the instructions that I am not understanding: squeeze the bottle. Why do you do this? Don't you use the pump top &amp; pump it in hand?

I think you squeeze the bottle so that you can easily apply it directly to your hair without putting it in your hand. That's what I do & it works well.

The instructions are completely lacking. mer's and T. M. Brendlinger's answers are correct. I was very confused about how much water to put in. I fill it to the top, then put the cylinder in and screw on the metal top. I'm still using cold water, straight from the refrigerator, into the chilled container and shaking it 25-30 times after releasing the C02 filter. Despite there being poor and lacking instructions I still think this is a great product and environmentally one of the most sound ways to enjoy fizzy water. I even transfer the fizzy water to another bottle with a cork stopper and then I always have 2 bottles of fizzy water in the frig ready to go. The instructions are completely lacking. mer's and T. M.

You squeeze it. In my opinion, it doesn't work. I returned mine to the store.

It takes a good deal of pressure to fully open, you have to continue with the same amount of pressure to keep it open, and it closes immediately upon release. I think this might not be the right bottle for you.

***** THIS IS HOW TO CORRECTLY FILL THE BOTTLE & INSERT THE FEEDING TUBE****** DO THIS CORRECTLY AND YOU WON'T HAVE ANY LEAKS! (this is done with a wine bottle, but same concept, no matter what you're using) https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=T6IeQOPKPn8

You don't have to squeeze at all. You just have to pump it up and down to create pressure in the bottle and then push down on the red tab to spray. I have found it to be great.

Yeah just like the other users said. Pull out the stopper and squeeze the air out. You have to squeeze the valve stem a little bit to open it up.

The bottle that I have is a flip top type. You squeeze it to get the product out.

Try wetting it with warm water and sliding it onto the bottle, I had to do this, and I left it on to stretch it out, it wasn't easy, but it did finally work! Good luck!

Carefully! Seriously - it's a pain, but slowly and carefully turn the bottle so only a drop or two at a time comes out - sort of like getting just the right amount out of a bottle of ketchup :) You'll over do it sometimes, and when that happens to me, I have to add more water so it's not too strong, and then either double my application (three, rather than two mouth rinses, for example), or dump the rest.

That's the way it is- it's not a good top design. You have to remove the cap of the big bottle and LEARN not to spill any water when turning it down onto cooler. It took me a good amount of getting used to it. I hope this helped. Happy No Spilling!

This is what I did. I poured a small amount of oil into the top area where the stopper feeds into the bottle. I slowly tried to move the stopper so the oil could get in between the glass. Eventually the oil will loosen the stopper. About once a week I try to make sure that this area is oiled up so that it doesn't happen again.

I believe it's there to control the flow of the product so that it only comes out when you squeeze the bottle and doesn't just flow out when you turn the bottle upside down. I don't find it very effective.

fill it no more than half way, a little less is better. pump it with the cap till you feel alot of pressure. it it dosent mist it maybe too full, not enough pressure (you do have to keep it pumped up good) or try changing your olive oil, I use extra light. Hope this helps. I see I got here too late...lol Enjoy your Misto

The pump is very difficult to use. I usually resort to taking it off and just tapping some out of the bottle into the palm of my hand.

you are lucky Amanda because I have a 6 year old granddaughter who demonstrated to open and close the bottle with no complication. Basically click to open and press the cap to close. Don't forget there is an extra lock aside so make sure your girl realize that. I hope this help.....thanks

I do the same thing...I use the plastic bottle to pump with and then pour it into the glass bottle. Otherwise the glass bottle keeps coming unscrewed while pumping. And it makes the pump heavier to hold.
