I have not always had good luck replacing the rubber diaphragm and then working for very long. That's why I switched to the Korky brand. So far so good, but I did not buy the cheapest one. I bought the one that the clerk at Lowe's said was the most popular one sold.

If possible I would replace the entire assembly since it is inexpensive fix .so maybe the float is stuck

I cleaned my unit and checked all the O-rings but there is a rubber diaphragm at the top of the unit internally that I finally discovered and it had several small splits...not repairable, so I'm ordering a new assembly. This will be my 2nd replacement in 10 years so they seem to last pretty well.

I didn't see a fill line either. I just make sure I don't overflow it. Make sure it doesn't go into the neck of the tank and it works fine.

Make sure the cap is on tight. If it's still under warranty they will make it right. Other than that the pump has went out, no way to fix it. That's what happened to ours. As luck would have it, ours was out of warranty! I think they should put better pumps in there machines. Good luck.

I was having the same problem with mine leaking dirty water all over the floor and, determined not to let the thing beat me, I fought with it. I found that the black gasket that is supposed to be at the junction between the collection tank and the machine was stuffed up inside the tube and was therefore simultaneously preventing proper suction and preventing dirty water from getting into the tank. I pulled out the gasket and put it back in its proper place and Presto! It is perfect again. Just thought I would post this in case someone else was having the same problem. It was easily fixed for me once I realized what was wrong.

When filling the top, make sure the bottom chamber is not full. If you put more water in the top chamber when the bottom is full, you may overfill the bottom chamber. The Berkey Guy

The diaphragm is already installed inside the unit. However, the installed diaphragm is not very supple or soft and requires quit a bit of water pressure in order to function properly. Purchasing a generic G3 or G4 diaphragm, which are usually made of softer material may solve the problem. Increased water pressure through the unit should also resolve the issue.

One thing I remember happening is, if the black collar around the red pump handle is loose, you can accidentally remove the pump handle/piston without removing the black cylinder the piston goes into. If that happens, you won't be able to fill the tank, as it remains blocked by the black cylinder. If you have removed the handle correctly, you should have a clear view right down into the tank with nothing in the way to stop water from going in. If the opening appears blocked by black plastic, re-insert the pump handle and tighten the black plastic collar on the pump handle onto threads at the top of the black plastic cylinder. At that point, when you unscrew the handle assembly from the tank, the cylinder should come out with the handle, leaving the opening unblocked. If I recall correctly, the same thing happened to me the first time I went to use it, as they shipped it with the collar loose. Once I tightened it firmly, it never happened again. Pretty nice sprayer.

You may have inadvertently lost the very tiny white plastic bead that sits loose inside the pump assembly at the bottom of the spring piece. Same thing happened to both my units. So I used a round pinhead from a decorative hatpin. Just pulled it loose from the pin and dropped it into the bottom of pump shaft and all worked again. The bead prevents the pump from pushing air back into the soap reservoir instead of out the dispensing tip.

I am having the same problem I even changed the diaphragm out thinking the old one was bad.

You have to take the blue tank off the humidifier and carry to the sink to refill because it refills from the bottom of the blue tank. Still a great product!

You would want to get a larger tank and even then, it will take time to refill. It can take a while for a completely emptied tank to refill.

Be sure to check all the pieces (caps, hoses, etc.) are completely attached. If there's a gap anywhere there won't be enough suction for the machine to function properly. You could also verify that the diaphragms don't have and flaws. If they are damaged at all you'll need to replace them to ensure proper function. Otherwise, try playing with the settings, if you haven't already, to see if they'll help at all.

If I recall correctly when I purchased mine well over a year ago I had a leak problem with the drain valve at the bottom of the tank. Called Rollair and they shipped me another valve and that fixed the problem. The compressor may have a small issue to fix but in my opinion it's well worth it. I'm considering buying another one for back up.

Remove the nut washerMake sure that your bottom bracket that hold your LP tank is installed the right way. (if it is wrong your tank will not sit level in the opening) and make sure that your magnet lock at the is secure.Hope this helps.r

I have not had this problem. Check that you have installed it correctly. Check for obvious defects. If all else fails, try the 2nd refill. Good luck...

You put everything together then turn it on. So either a. You may not have placed just right or b. It might need be replaced. My 75 gal had be replaced but my 30 still runs like a champ. Make sure everything is on tight and placed like its supposed to. :)
