I have used this 2 now. Nothing but water comes out when I use this. Am I doing something wrong? Read reviews where ppl had tons of stuff coming out.

Not sure of the question - that is what is supposed to happen. I haven't tried the mister attachment because I use it for the water flow you mentioned.

It entirely depends on the person and how sick they are, the amount that they have come out of their nose. I myself don't really have anything come out more of the time, however it does help dry some of the mucus that I have in my sinus. Hope that helped.

You would not really see any gunk come out normally, unless you do have a bad infection, but it should nonetheless help overall with how your nasal passages feel afterwards and how clear they feel. To help with drainage after using the machine within the first 15 minutes of use bend forward at the waist, with arms behind back, holding this position for up to a minutes. You will be quickly grabbing a kleenex.

Most of the time I use the irrigator I don't see anything flushed out of my sinuses. Most allergens are far too small to see. The only time I do see a lot of junk come out is when I have a sinus infection. Using the irrigator several times a week has made huge improvements in my post nasal drip and helps get rid of sinus infections sooner.

I have the same experience. I generally wake up stuffy, especially in my right nostril. I do not find that anything other than water comes out when I use it either. During the day the left nostril continues to drip water if I lower my head to do yoga poses but no water comes out of the right side. I have been using it daily and don't feel that it has helped.

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

Water should not be coming out of the top. You only see water when you lift to empty bag. Check for hoses connected properly.

I would buy a different model/brand. I've had this diffuser for just 2 days and it has started leaking. Followed the instructions to the letter but still leaked. I even tried to use it with half the amount of water it's supposedly able to hold and it still leaked. I'm not talking about a little perspiration on the outside of the unit, this thing leaked a small stream from the center seam opening where the 2 halves close together. It's a bad design flaw, IMO. It's too bad because it looked nice and put out a nice stream of mist. I boxed it up and sent it back to amazon this afternoon. I have a smaller unit made by NOW and it's more reliable than this model. No leaking at all but it is quite small. I would buy a different model/brand.

I had this too. I ran 2 full containers of just water through it. It's fine now.

It's supposed to come out slowly, it won't flow like a faucet. I always say I can pee faster than the water can come out and it's probably true. I store the water in jugs and use it when I need it. If you are getting water flow I'm sure you have it hooked up correctly.

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.

Mine also leaked. I contacted Hamilton Beach and returned it. Perhaps you'll need to do the same.

I just used regular tap water and well water. The fan dries out the sponge quicker than you would think. fyi - I also went by the reviews when I purchased this. It is a great idea. but it does not work well. I think companies are starting to pay ppl to put reviews online unfortunately. I think it would be better if the fan was a little more powerful.

I saw posted somewhere that a different manufacturer's device automatically is set to do this after a certain amount of water has flowed through it. Simply removing and then reseating the filter MIGHT fix the issue, although I can't guarantee it will be the same for this device.

It must be your water. We have pretty pure well water. Try filtering first.

Hi Austin, I only use the two pieces and have no attachments. Sorry i couldn't help. Try calling the company you bought it from and see if you can return it. My two piece does not leak.

If this is a new filter, water should not be coming out slowly. If on the other hand you replaced cartridges you may have installed a cartridge upside down.

The water does spew out even at the lowest setting. Not sure why. Our unit is fairly new. Maybe close to one year.

check to make sure there isn't a locking feature on it that prevents water flow, i know camelbaks do. Then return this product. it is plagued with problems in my experience. also try disconnecting and reconnecting the hose and any other detachable parts and make sure water can flow freely through the tube, mouth piece etc.
