I love this, but I'm on my 3rd one and after a while, it seems the one way valve is broken, I squeeze and it just looses air. What to do?

not sure, I would contact Waterpik. It definitely works best in the shower with my head tilted.

I love mine as well and have had mine for quite some time (over a year) and haven't had any problems. The only time it seems that the air pressure is less is when I've inadvertently failed to tighten the valve cap enough. Other than that being your possible problem I'm not sure what to offer as a solution. I use it along with adding a couple tablespoons of Alkalol and the results are just fantastic at stoping a cold in its tracks! Sorry I couldn't be of more help!

I wonder if you were ever able to fix this? Mine leaks all over the place and in reading other reviews of this DeLonghi product, it seems a common complaint. Also seems like "not fixable." A real bummer.

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.

I'm not sure why you are losing that much air when unscrewing the valve - I only lose a little. Maybe your valve stem core is loose or worn? Anyway, try inflating to a higher setting than you need before disconnecting the valve.

I am not sure, but I am having a similar problem also mattres has been fine in every way holding air and firm, but in the past two days it keeps looking air similar to yours leaking on one side and eventually goes down completely. Guess we both need to figure it out unfortunately cause I really like it a lot.

Is it leaking the 'air' at the point where the aluminum bottom threads into the black top? If so, I would (which you may have already tried) try to make sure that the inner "straw/stem" piece is seated/centered properly and the top is as snug (without breaking it, obviously) as you can get it. I've had the situation - where mine also leaked as it was pressurized and I had to take the top back off and re-seat the stem piece. Now that I'm more careful to make sure it's seated right, I haven't had any more trouble (and I use it all the time). Also, make sure there is no debris that may be keeping the seal from seating properly. Hope this helps. Good luck.

You can try replacing the Joker Valve. Here's a youtube video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uqYkXa5AWe8

I have not had the a problem with the valve. The handle is a little loose. Probably use it to tighten the top. Otherwise it works great!!

There should be no air coming out, probably a bad valve. Try putting a 3 in 1 oil in, valve might be sticky.

Make sure you flip the valve to the hoses and remove them 1st I havent had any trouble with mine.

Honestly, I hold it the other way around if I am cleaning the derriere. It works well for me. Sometimes I don't aim it properly and get a bit of water all over the backside but no biggie. Just dry it off and go. It works well but get into the habit of turning off the water valve when not in use. If there is constant water pressure on the hose... It will bust after a few months. Happened to me but they sent me a new right away.

The valves needs to come out. You need to squeeze or bite the sides as you are blowing air into it. We have bought 12 of these. We keep buying and having to buy more to give to our other boater friends. Everyone lives them. Hope this info helps.

Check the O-ring. Also watch for cracks in the "U" tube along the seam as it will suck air and cause the GPH to go way down. Mine started to suck air along the seam shortly after getting it. I contacted AquaClear and they wanted me to purchase a new one even though it was less than 3 months old and still under warranty. Terrible customer support. I avoid AquaClear (and all Hagen) products like the plague now. Both my 30 and 70 models have the same issue and now sit in the very box they came in.... sadly I purchased nearly $200 in filter supplies/media for these as well. I just cut the stuff open and use it in my new filters. Return it if you can. Check the O-ring.

How has it been installed. Mine leaked there until I run the system. There are 3 check valves that open with a screwdriver. Try bleeding them and see if it fixes your problem

If I recall, squeeze the base of the air valves and try blowing. It takes a bit of effort to squeeze the valves and blow at the same time,if I can remember correctly. Let me know if it works :-)

After you remove the thin metal disk with the gasket around it to reveal the basket thing you speak of, pull that basket thing off. You should see a nut attached to the thinga-ma-jiggy that your pressure release valve sits on. If it sounds like marbles in there, it may be that the nut is not properly tightened. Mine was finger tight, just checked it now. See if that's the problem.... hopefully it is...tighten up the nut, then just pop that basket back on.

I had the exact same issue with mine. Make sure the quick disconnect is seated properly and the hoses aren't kinked. Also, taking out some of the sponges helps a little and increases the flow. That worked for me for a little bit. I eventually filed a warranty claim and within a few days API had sent me a brand new one and it has never leaked. You may need to do the same.
