One of the valves you place the hose in seems to be clogged. We tried to clean the valve with pipe cleaners and tried to soak it in hot water. Help?

ACETONE. 100% find it in the nail polish aisle at walmart for like $2 let it soak over night and rinse with hot water. Ta-Da!

I had the same issue and tried to fix it with a knife, but just made matters worse so I threw the hookah away.

Haven't used it enough to have that problem but try "Purple Power" or maybe even think about a new hose...

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.

Honestly, I have never cleaned mine. They do get pretty nasty but that is normal and has happened on all of the canister filters I have owned. As long as they don't get clogged and effect the flow of water I don't worry about it. My water is crystal clear. My suggestion is to either buy new hoses, any hardware store such as home depot carries plastic hose in various sizes that you can cut to fit, spray them out with water pressure or use a long pipe cleaner brush. I hope this helps some.

It may be a faulty valve or hose. I have had mine for 3 years without any issues.

While I don't have the unit (bought it for a friend), if the item isn't working, and you can't return it - if the item is heating, I'd try to see if "maybe" the water spouts became clogged? If you have no other recourse, you may wish to check with the manufacturer and ask them what they suggest? It may be something as simple as steam-cleaning the machine with something they've found works well?

I just refilled one of mine recently and didn't have any problem. I wonder if soaking the pump action portion in hot water with a little vinegar might clear any soap build-up that may be clogging the mechanism.

I'm sure you have, but have you tried tightening the valve? Because that part is so hard to find, I'm guessing it rarely goes bad. I guess you could try bialetti.com. I looked there but did not find it, you may have better luck.

The valve has been in the open position long enough for sufficient filtered water to have flowed to suggest changing the filters (probably not the RO membrane, just the other three). Just pull the battery and put it back to reset.

If you have hard water then it may have clogged up the dispenser nozzle. Try running hot water through the nozzle mechanism with a little soap. Rinse really well.

Hi there ! When my din air is clogged I usually take it apart soak in hot water and but it back together

We haven't had this problem yet, but soaking it in the hot soapy water, as previously suggested should work. It is also helpful to pump some hot, clear water through the tube to make sure it's clear.

It sounds like you have some debris in the valve itself. You will need tot ake it apart and clean out the valve. It should not be to hard to get the valve open I belive its several screws on the top.

Take the filter out and run the pump without it. if the pressure seems right it is the filter. I always clean mine as soon as I take them out but they do start to get clogged after a while. Make sure you clean good between the folds in the filter!

That was a symptom I had when there were either air bubbles in the system or an obstruction somewhere. Eventually the valve, or whatever the mechanism was internally, froze in place and it wouldn't generate pressure at all, despite clean system. That's when I returned it to Costco, only a year old. Went with a more expensive gasoline unit instead, much better power for cleaning and longevity.

Sounds like you got a defective one. Mine was easy to swap out, no issues. I made sure the center post was properly inserted into the bottom of the valve. I swapped out my old one because it was doing the same thing, letting water out of the waste when in filter mode. It seemed to be related to the lack of spring tension keeping the handle down vs anything else. Good luck.

Could be clogged. have you tried a very thorough cleaning?that would be my best guess

It could be that the valve is stuck. My manual suggests making sure that it is clean. If it is coming out around the edges, then you need to check the sealer ring and make sure it is in good shape and seated properly.
