Pump doesn't seem to have enough pressure; mists are not as high as it should be.

Check and make sure the valve is open all the way so the manifold gets full flow and make sure there are no leaks or cracks and the mister nozzles aren't clogged up , mine works great but the nozzles occasionally get plugged up with alge.If that doesn't work .....maybe a bad pump ?

I have three units, and I've not had this problem. Could it be the intake is obstructed? If you use peat pots, it is possible some of the material from the pots has plugged some of the misters. I placed my pump inside a nylon sock to filter out any particulates.

I would try a little water in there and I had to do some adjusting on the tip when I first used it but once I got it adjusted we were fine. Listen for air leaks and make sure you have that tip adjusted for the right spray.

If its hard to pump from the beginning, its not working properly. As pressure goes up it gets a little harder to pump.

Did you insert it into the white hole/valve thing? maybe you need to insert it just a bit further. Otherwise sounds like you did everything right. Maybe your pump is bad, try another. Good luck!

if you press firmly it does produce a fine mist.if you press very slowly, you can get it to produce more of a squirt

I fill my unit I/2 inch from the top. If the water still flows poorly, check the pump, it may have a blockage. Rinse the pump real well. Hopefully this will help.

Unfortunately it is not that advanced. It only has two settings one for constant flow and the other for spurts of mists. The reservoir is too small to make it through a full night

If the pump input and output isn't exposed to air then there couldn't be micro bubbles. I don't know your setup but it could be syphoning air at the input side.

I don't think it would work very well, its not meant to pump that much head pressure

First make sure the 2 filters are NOT all the way down into the holders they should be about 1/2 inch off the bottom you can adjust them with the lid open til the water flows normal. Also make sure air isn't leaking from the tubing on the pump. Chances are the filters need to be lifted a little.

Did you have a pump included. That was more than I had. I went to Walmart and purchased one. I took a while and I still don't have them pumped up very well. I did find if you angle the pump needle a bit it helps, but good luck. It's definitely not easy! Sorry I don't have a better answer for you!

Not surprised. Mine isn't producing much mist and I expect it will quit any day now. Unhappy with this purchase and not cheap. I would send it back or email the manufacturer.

I could not get it to pump anything. it would be best for you to get another pump.

You might try pumping less... or take a needle to the spray hole at both the entry and exit points to make sure there is no obstruction. You could also try boiling the spray tip with dish soap to clean it out.

Unlikely -- the pump will not generate enough pressure to propel water from sprinklers. -- bigappleedibles.com

Make sure the filter is placed correctly and the fountain is on a level surface. What you are experiencing is not normal.

In response to M. Hursh, it may be possible that it was not pumped enough to build up the pressure needed before the spray. It does require a few pumps before the top becomes stiff and it does not last long if it sits a while from my short time experience with this product.
