is the flow control a cheap flimsy disk with holes in it that allows the product to become trapped between the underside of disk and the hopper? Have had 2 previous spreaders with this design and both have caused numerous flow problems..frustrating

I have used the spreader twice w/o any issues whatsoever. I did not notice any trapped material. I would purchase the exact same spreader again.

There is a clear plastic round seed diverter that sits inside of the bottom of the reservoir at the level of the seed ports. Is that diverter there or upside down? You can see it at the port level on the feeder photographs.

The hopper is plastic which makes it very light to install. Disposals have a tendency to corrode and leak after yrs. of use, I hope this lessens that problem.

The ball is not a valve. There is no mechanism on either side of it that actually closes to prevent the flow of air either into or out of the canister. I know the description makes it sound like it may be more than that, but at least the one I have simply has a hole cut in both sides.

The overflow problem I had was with pot lid flowing in faster than can drop into pot. So I made drain hole slightly larger. Have not had issues since. Drains into pot fine w/o a mess

I don't have that issue with mine, however, I would try to see if the top part of the spray system can be unscrew, or we can use the end of a staple to clear the drain holes from particle

It is faulty, I have had several of these and once in a while you get one like this...sorry but they are cheap. The one I have now flows great too, like most do. It must be something to do with manufacture process...FYI

I tried to get mine to spin to figure out the problem. Even with the center piece not pushed down, it will only advance the amount of one feed. I think you may have received a defective unit. I have never had that problem and could not create it.

I am not too happy with mine. It doesn't flow out quickly. I am in the process of returning my purchase. Wish you luck. Try calling customer service they might be able to help you

The higher up you hold it, the faster it disappearsYou can control the flow or not.Hope this helps

I wish you luck. The best you can do is to quickly insert the nozzle end of the solution holder. My holder tended to leak even from the top part. That's one of the reasons I rated it poorly - and be careful how you treat the swivel - they break. For $10 more, I just bought the Rubbermaid and its quite good and well-constructed, and the spray cover a larger area. Good luck.

I found when you 90 split one side and straight line another it will affect the flow pressure on one side. I am converting all emitters over to orbit adj sprayers and direct line connectors. Much better flow less deviation with water pressure and NO stop flows. You wont like emitters and will love the sprayerss

Have you put in the little circular rubber topped magnetic piece? It does not attach anywhere you just drop it inside the mineral cube with the blue/handle side facing up. The magnetic pull on this disc causes it to spin rapidly and creates a cyclone on the water that spins it. If you have already put the disc in then and it still doesn't cause the water to spin then you may have a defective machine.

my phat cat runs her head (violently) into the hopper all the time and has still not managed in two years to get the hopper knocked off. the hopper should set down into the chute and then twist to lock into place. double check the interface between the two and good luck.

It does not. Typically you will see people putting a ball valve on the out put side to allow you to control the flow rate. You should be able to find example pictures on the Internet hope that helps

Ryan...I do not know what your specific problem is, but, I would suggest you contact you contact Intellichlor technical staff for guidance. They diagnosed my flow problem over the phone...Don

The only thing I can think of is what Jason mentioned. A bean can keep it from turning all the way. Sometimes the bean is lodged in the hopper - sometimes the base. Hopper should be seated in the base or it will not turn. Are you sure you are turning it in the correct direction?
