I connected mine to a hose valve and the dial filled up with water. Is this intended or do I have a defective unit?

definitely should not fill up with water. make sure the unit is connected (tightly) to the water valve (not to a hose). If tight and you still get water inside the unit, I'd send it back for a replacement

There should not be water in the dial. All it should do is to move the "Needle" to the correct pressure.I believe the gauge is defective.

The gauge should not fill up with water ,I believe you have a defective pressure gauge

mine has great outflow, check your pump output?? pump size ample to do the job?? filter plugged??? is the red flag in the bubble showing the filter plugged??

Yes make sure pump timer is set to proper am or pm and running. Second that valve is installed properly under the sink. If this does not work do an exchange for a new valve.This is my second unit i have installed myself and instructions are very clear never had any problems.

There is a molding problem with the valve which obscures the water flow. Remove the excess plastic with a small knife or screwdriver and the water will start to flow.

I installed mine from the timer to the hose. When the timer/valve goes shut, the remaining water in the hose will vent/drain thru the vacuum breaker.

If you have already filled the tank and installed it high enough as specified on the instructions, then you may be not opening the valve to the correct direction, wich is counterclockwise. Please let me know if it helps.

No, it should fully drain away. Perhaps there is something wrong with the connection, or the pipe is blocked?

Are you filling it to the max fill line? It usually takes a couple of minutes for the water signal to reset. Mine did that and I lightly banged the sides and it started working. If that's not the problem then you may have to call Edge Star for help.

Hi Melanie, Sounds like somethings wrong. I put mine in the water first, then turn it on, & it runs.

Mine is quite new. I don't have a flow issue at all. I do know that the style of an old farm pump dictates a lower than normal flow. As it is not aerated, the pure water flow if faster would be quite messy. I have read on other review sites that had a similar complaint and the solution was to remove or punch a hole through the screen at the flex hose inlet on the hot side will help the hot side. It was felt that the screen holes were restricting under expansion from the heat. Please note that by opening the screen, you are allowing any potential solids that could be lurking in your pipes to enter the valve and cause leaks and/or damage. To sum it up. I happen to like the lower flow as it does look like a cool old pump. Good luck, Al

Mine was the same and caused me much concern at first. Just brush off the filters and wait until they become saturated. Within a couple days mine sped up to where it will now fill the reservoir within four hours or so. Been using it for a year now with no problems and am completely satisfied.

It may be a faulty valve or hose. I have had mine for 3 years without any issues.

Since mine is installed, the main valve has been remained open. If your spray head is leaking, my guess is that you have less than perfect parts and/or the installation was not done properly.

Yes, this is an issue. When I use it, I slowly turn the dial and stop when the pressure is sufficient. Please note that the water will not come out immediately when you start turning the dial. It takes some time to build sufficient pressure for the nozzle to start spraying the water. You should get the right dial position with a bit trial and error.

You should not have water around the unit. It could be you are positioning the mist into the indentation in the top that is then overflowing. Other than that I would say your unit is malfunctioning. Good luck.

Yes, yes. Indeed. I had the same problem as the unit wanted to fill the bucket (then turn off) instead of running out the rear spicket through the hose and run for me non-stop - which was why I bought it in the first place. It works for me now .. I just have to make absolutely sure that 1) the humidifier is sitting level; 2) the hose is always lower than the spicket on the back of the humidifier and 3) there is no relative "rise" in the drain hose. That means water is always running "downhill" from the drain spicket to the floor drain. Taking these deliberate measures solved my problem (now for years). Hope it helps you.

If you have the water discharge connect to a external pipe, then the connection was loose. This will be the best guess from me.
