So, you just put a wee small amount of water, just enough so it doesn't run out of the bottom hole? That's it? Just that little bit of water??

What I do is put water in it so it doesn't flow out & then thru the top of it, I put a teaspoon of honey in . The wasps & hornets, etc. love it & you will love that they cannot come out again!.......Diane

Not even a little! (Being the scientist that I am I had to test... Put just water in, laid it on it's side then upside down. No leakage.

If you fill the bottom reservoir clear to the top, you can get about 3 1/2 inches of water in it.

one time i had a leak, it was caused by putting more water in the top than needed in the bottom half...do not put more water than has been used i eyeball the measure with my fingers the height of the water missing in the bottom and put the same measure of water in the top......no more leaks !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I was filling mine with 8oz of water and Betadine which filled it up but as you get to the bottom of the liquid you do have to really squeeze the bulb. It didn't bother me as much because I had already used most of my solution anyway. I felt it got the job done and was easy to clean. Also not very big which is nice. Try filling it all the way up and just keep squeezing without letting too much air in. Hope this helps :)

I think there's a plug at the bottom to let the internal water out. You'll have to look and see if it's there. I remember looking for the same thing. The manual is not at all clear on this.

I think so, you would just have to add less liquid so that it wouldn't overflow.

Doesn't need much, uses a small amount of water and it makes it's own water pressure.

This can be made in small batches. You just have to experiment with adding the right amount of water.

You're only suppose to fill it up to the last black line on top. Anything higher will cause it to overflow.

I don't put any water in the bottom....I thought it was for the draining after washing....

Make sure you put enough water in it. Don't worry about too much water, it holds it well. Fill that sucker up :)

Thanks.I should have updated this. We've been using less water and have been much happier with the results.\Anyone who is less than 100% satisfied should experiment a bit :-).-jpr

I would suggest you hold back a little to create a cleaner hole. Like a hot knife thru butter.

You can add a tad less water than it asks for, but more importantly, be sure to not over-mix the batter. You should only be doing a couple of turns to the batter.

Most likely you are overfilling the water container. Fill it up to 1/2 inch from the top.

I usually poke about 2 in the middle and then work my way out with 5-7 more holes in the shape of a circle. Make sure they aren't too big!! As for water, I fill it about an inch or 2, too little water doesn't get the flavor and too much water gets into the hoses
