Why isn't it sucking water up

make sure the lift-away unit is properly seated on the base. Click the side opposite of the detachment lever in first and then the other side. press firmly.

It could be a variety of reasons. check all your hoses and filters and that the lift away is on properly. It could be you are releasing too much water to begin with...It is all trial and error. work with it

I had the same issue at first. I figured if you'll set something underneath the system it will help to even the flow and after a while take it out and it should work perfectly. Although it seem like it is evenly on the floor it tend not to work properly. I hope this helps.

I've had the same problem! It's impossible to get the water out too! Could there be a missing gasket? If you get an answer, please let me know. Thanks!

For me, the issue has been the length of the hose and the water pressure. There is plenty of flexibility for cleaning the sides, but the hose is too short to get the water going back toward the drain, so I have to bank it off the sides. We're on a well and we keep our pressure tank at about 50 psi. I have considered taking out the flow restrictor on the advice Blanco support staff, but haven't gotten around to it.

There is a molding problem with the valve which obscures the water flow. Remove the excess plastic with a small knife or screwdriver and the water will start to flow.

Mine does not rise that high, it just kinda gurgles at the surface. So there is no fountain of water.

there is a drain plug on the bottom that works well. you may have to help by propping up the opposite corners when the water level gets low

There must be a slight gradient, but it is not apparent. Water does not pool, it drains really well.

Ha ha....we were actually going to suggest that, but didnt know how to phrase it. Good for you using your noggin....sometimes a bubble of air can form in the plumbing and it is hard to get it out. Guess we will have to add "sucking" to our technical must do list! But that is often all it takes in cases where water is not being disbursed. Sometimes things get disconnected or air bubbles form during the rough ride across the ocean. Glad to see it worked out for you...its a good little machine for the money.

You should check to be sure the unit is absolutely level. If it isn't, the water may flow into the tank instead of the hose. (Had it happen to me.)

Try this: Remove cover, empty out all the water and then fill it with fresh water. If that doesn't work, then try this: unplug it, remove cover, inside you will see sensor (it sticks up a little with a silver metal on top) touch the sensor with your finger. For some reason this works. I think the sensor gets stuck "thinking" the water level is low, so the unit doesn't go on.

Looks like you ran out of room before you completed your question. It is difficult to say without seeing it. The flapper could be leaking, the top of the Fluidmaster could be leaking, a sand particle could be in the Fluidmaster and may need flushing and/or replacing, or the water level adjustment could be wrong and the water is running out of the overflow.

Ours isn't circulating either. We filled to the water line and have a slight bubbling, but it barely works. Suggestions?

Hi Jan. I would assume that, like every vacuum cleaner, something could be stuck (may be in the hose) preventing the water to be sucked up.

The fill float may be stuck. I would call Water Boss tech support and ask them how to check it. Even no salt in the bin, it should not fill that far. With my older model, I had an internal leak tha slowly dripped water into the bin, filling it with water a few days after I siphoned it out. I bought a new one after that, as it was 10 years old and out of warranty, even though it should not have happened.

Make sure you aren't putting too much water in. I tend to overfill mine and I have a watery mess when I do. There's a fill line and you can't go even the littlest bit over that.

Make sure the tubes are not blocked any slight squeeze, or tention, will prevent water from going through. Also, make sure the spike is completely under the soil, they might be draining faster because of lack of coverage on the outside of the spike with soil. Also, remember the reservoir should be filled up all the way, in order for the water pressure to build up. Hope this helps, good luck!!
