I can't get the water container to come off. Is there a trick to this?

I don't think it is supposed to come off. Mine has a cap on the back of it to put in your cleaning solution. You could always call Libman. They have excellent customer service.

The directions on the bottle/ label state "Squeeze the sides of the water bottle and pull up." You do have to squeeze hard.

Per Libman's website: "If the bottle is hard to remove, fill it with hot water, let it sit for two minutes, and then pull bottle out." I personally don't take the bottle out and just fill it up with a measuring cup.

I don't know if it's supposed to come off, but I just yanked hard and pulled it off. I don't know if I broke it, but it seems to go back on. I don't know if I'd counton cleaning it this way. Prior to this, I just sprayed clear water through it, let it air out, thenput it away.

Try turning off the water supply and emptying the water pressure in the hose by engaging the nozzle. Once that is done, pull hose almost completely out of the housing. Then give hose a short pull to start the retraction and do not let it retract the hose at full speed. Guide it slowly back into the housing.

I dont think you are doing something wrong , mine locks in tight and i havent had this problem. As long as thermos is in its place it should not be able to come out. You might need a replacment

The top lid pops off from the bottom part holding the filter -- ours was so loose it kept falling out -- so we had to bend it out a little to hold in the filter. Just use a screwdriver or something -- should come right out. Hope this helps.

The lid will not come off. Also the gray flap will appear to be pulled down into the opening. It should make a whoosh sound whenreleased.

Amy, I was just like you. Pick the water reservoir up and don't try to unscrew or pull off the black top. Turn the water container upside down and screw off the cap on the bottom. It's not a very big opening so I pour the distilled water in over the sink. I hope this helps.

At the top where the water expulsion ports are, there is a plastic divider that moves back and forth, it can get stuck by leaves or debris. Move it back and forth with your finger a couple times and it will usually work fine after that...

Along the lip of the lid, there is a plastic 'tab' that you pull horizontally and you will keep pulling all the way around the lid until its removed. Hope that helps!

I can't get mine out either. I will try what you said and see if I can get it out. Thanks!

No, you do not. You just twist and the cup will come off. This is a great product, I love it!

It just pulls out. At least mine did. Try running hot water over the plastic for a minute or 2 to get it to expand a bit then turn the unit upside down, lightly tap the bottom a couple times, hold the glass in one hand & pull up on the plastic (while twisting) with the other hand. Dont force it tho!!!!! Its glass & can break. But this worked for both of mine.

Push the button on top and remove the lid. You should be able to pull the collector right up out of there.

That's odd - I'd say let it cool down completely, but I haven't had to do that so it shouldn't be an issue. Did you release all the pressure from the tank? Maybe have someone hold the release button while you try getting the lid to budge?

At first, I couldn't get the water tank off - I had to fill it by putting the whole unit under the faucet. Then, my husband got it "unstuck," so yes, you can remove it. My problem with the unit is that I can't get enough pressure unless I put my hand in the water and keep the black plastic thing-a-ma-jig slightly raised on one side. Very annoying!

you have to turn off the pump first--start turning the lid 1/2 turn then push in tab (button) on side of lid--then turn another 1/2 turn to the next tab (button) to fully remove-----hope this helps---think of opening a medicine bottle cap

I've found that if I remove the container and reset it usually works again. It seems to be very sensitive as to how the container is set on it. this has worked for me both times.
