Cant get the water to come out of the tank

As the other person said, be sure it's not clogged up. Personally, I like mine. I think they just call it a steamer because you do use hot water. I like it because it's inexpensive and small, not heavy to lift the dirty water. In case you are talking about emptying the dirty water, there is a square hole where you dump it out.

make sure all access holes are cleaned out of built up dirt. if you have a cat or dog ,holes can fill up with dirty hair. also make sure all parts are secure and in the right position. hope this helps.

The tank might need air. Turn off supply to r/o. Expel all water from tank. Put 7 psi of air in tank. Check if valve leaks by putting soapy water on valve.

I do not know how yours works. Ours is a metal band and wing nut holding the two halves together. Shut off the water and empty out the line as best as you can then loosen the wing nut they should then be able to be separated. Hope this helps.

Hi George, I would first check the pressure in the holding tank to make sure it is correct. Have seen where water will come out fast but trickle off quickly and this is sometimes the problem.

Try this. Open the filter up and manually fill it almost all the way up with water. Then close it back up. Try to plug it in and ensure that you have the valves in the open position.

Make sure the submersible pump in the back right side compartment is not touching any walls and be sure to press firmly on the unit to fasten the suction cups to the bottom of the tank. Hope this helps :) Duane Ring

first make sure o rings are in place as instructed, could be not tight enough. You may be overfilling unit it is not four gallon it is 3 gallon in bottom tank. top tank is not a holding tank as far as I can tell because there are no rubber seals between them hope this helps

Unscrew the top where there water goes in and dump it OK ! I broke one of my fittings where the O-rings are so I can't use mine the company doesn't back up are respond there worthless.

I have an ancient fish tank motor (same principal) sometimes the impeller(little fan like thing that moves the water)gets clogged Carefully under running water try to flush it out. A little food/whisker whatever may be stuck. Goodluck

Chances are you have air in the line for your input. Try either filling the canister up with water beforehand or use the hose you use to fill your tank to force water into the input once you'be turned it on.

Make sure tank is full and seated correctly AND run a clear water mug through with no capsule. See if that helps. Contact company if not. Good luck.

I have not had mine that long and have not had that problem but it might be that the water intake tube is stuck in the top of the water tank.If so, push it down so it reaches the bottom of the tank. Another thing it might be is that calcium and mineral deposits could have built up. I know they sell a Shark water filtration bottle to stop that from happening.

You might need to try another tank or make sure you tighten the valve real tight to get it to push the valve in your tank.

I don't know if this helps, but , did you put the filter cup in properly? The only way I know for it to get stuck is if the handle of the filter cup and the orientation of the cup is wrong....I'm afraid that the only way to get it out is to pull until something gives.......wish I could help more

If it is not on there just right it will not suck the water up. Take it off and try putting it on again. It makes a different noise if the tank is hooked up correctly. Just make sure it is on there good and snapped in tightly. Also if the top of the tank isn't snapped on there correctly it wont work right. Put it on from the front first and you should hear it snap into place Hope this helps, I love mine!

This happened to me too, but in my case I just wiggled the tank so that more water pours into the lower reservoir and the mist stopped coming out the sides.

In the water tank, make sure both the supply tube and the air check valve are clear. You can use a straw or piece of aquarium tube to blow air through the supply tube(the male tube). If the water tank is half full it should bubble. Put the straw in the hole(air valve) next to the supply tube. If the cap is on the tank, water should squirt out of the supply tube. My air valve hole was plugged. I cleaned/opened it with a plastic tooth pick. It feels like there is a rubber check valve in there. If it is plugged, I believe it creates a vacuum in the tank and prevents water feeding up the supply tube. Worked fine after I did this.
