Although I find the spray very effective, I can't get the automatic dispensers to work at all or for more than a few weeks. Any suggestions?

I sometimes clean the hole of the spray mechanism with a toothbrush and hot soapy water. It will sometimes get sticky from the spray. Also, make sure you use brand new batteries when you first set it up. We use ours everywhere, especially in our saddle shed and on our back porch-even though outside, the spray keeps everything away from our doors.

Try a new empty spray bottle. Dump the contents of the bottles you have into it.

We have had the same problem ,multiple times ,w/this despenser. It doesn't last long until the pump is sprung & unable to release the soap. Very frustrating. This past time we contacted the seller & they sent us another, not the same one, thank goodness. So far, so good. It is much better. We'll keep our fingers crossed!

Ours worked beautifully for about a month, then seemed to loose effectiveness. I did refill the cartridge several times and replaced the battery. I needed up buying another one.

I have used mine a few times with 100% success. I highly recommend it for easy use.I cannot imagine what caused the problem you describe.

I bought one almost two years ago and it soon became clogged, on close examination I realized that the exit of the nozzle was very small compared to the rest of the passageway so I drilled it out a bit, still didn't help. It seems the soap needs to be the consistency of water for this dispenser to work right. I now have the Premier 552029. Although from the same brand, works perfectly and is more durable even tho the pictures may not suggest. Hope this helps.

I've bought SOOO many bottles--all failed with bleach. Then I had a brainstorm: I bought a cleaner WITH BLEACH in a spray bottle, and, when it was empty, used that bottle. It still, eventually, failed, but lasted MANY MONTHS in lieu of a few weeks at very best. PLUS it was nearly free--even full of cleaner it was cheaper than some of these 'chemical-resistant' bottles empty! When it died, I just bought more cleaner (which I transferred into another, WELL-LABELED bottle, for future use if needed...) Voilà--new, 'chem-resistant' bottle!

The dispenser did not stop dispensing liquid. We have had this type before and had no problem with it. This particular one did have problems.

We've had our mop for about a year, and last week it suddenly stopped spraying. When we'd squeeze the trigger, it seemed jammed or struck.I almost bought a new mop, but in one last desperate move I got a thin sewing needle and poked it into the center of the spray nozzle. That fixed it!Give it a try if yours stops spraying.

in my case it is due to the hard water problem here. there is some white powder left and i suspect it is the residue between hard water and the disinfectant, which blocks the nozzle. so i removed the bottle and put vinegar inside the cabin where you use to place the bottle. then i waited for 10 min and the nozzle works again.

Had the same problem with several soap brands. Seems as though the underbody dispenser apparatus gets plugged up and allows the pump to be depressed, but has insufficient spring left to allow it to back come up again: thus you get a short stroke/minimal output problem. I tried cleaning it, oiling it, etc... nothing worked. Just replaced that part from Moen's website. Hopefully its a fluke, because it isn't even a year old yet.

It is my understanding that it takes a week or so to really get working. But it is also my experience that it is better on the leaking issue than it is on the quantity issue. Hope it all works out!

When I bought mine last year I had the same problem. Even level it didn't work. Called company and they sent me two little pieces of PVC pipe that were cut to fit over the places where the water tank nozzles are pushed up and are supposed to empty. Not explaining it well but basically if it won't work after being level, call the company and they can help.

Just make sure the end of the sprayer is set to " on". If you look carefully, you' ll see it says either "off" or " on". It can be turned to either setting. If it's set to "on" and doesn't spray, return it or try to find a compatible sprayer.

I,m having the same problem with the trigger. A lot of time it won't spray and I take the solution tank out and put it back in and then it works. I had a smaller Bissell cleaner and loved it, but I'm not very happy with this one. I don't have the box that it came in. If I did I would send it back. Trying to decide if I want to get a different one.

join the club! I've spent a lot of time trying to figure that out and I never did. I cleaned all the hoses and the heater. I even replaced the pump, but it still does not spray. I had only used it twice and cleaned it well before storing.
