I didn't hear the timer go off and when I pulled the generator out it left a bunch of the black stuff in the water. Do I need toss the batch?

The black stuff is oxide developed from the silver, it is not harmful, you could pour it through a coffee filter if desired.

You can strain it thru a natural paper coffee filter and it will be fine. Hope that helps.

No need to "toss" it. Let it settle, then put the batch through a coffee filter (maybe a couple of times). It is normal to have some residue to accumulate in the bottom of the container. Pay attention to the time you processed it to calculate the strength.

You created a very concentrated solution. There's nothing " wrong" with it. The silver particles are large and have collected together. Not the best to consume, but can be used as a disinfectant for cuts, counter tops, produce, etc.

I never do I just mix it up. I don't set my timer. This Life force works so much faster than my other one. I did have a SilverGen .When I see the "goo" going down I pull it. Mix and store.. great stuff... Mix again before you use it too. You can also add a drop of hydrogen peroxide to the mixture to help make the mixture into smaller particles. Love my Lifeforce

it is excess silver. not knowing the concentration of silver in the solution and the fact that it is now old and oxidized, I would not use it...

The light started flashing in mine as well -- still worked though and I couldn't find where I put my manual. We completely emptied it out because we were going out of town for a week. When we returned it was working normally! Try emptying it and refilling, I read somewhere that the 'float' may not be working right, and thinks the machine is empty.

1. Maker sure the fuel shut off valve is on.2. Last time you used it, did you turn off the valve and let the motor run until the carburetor was out of fuel? If not, the fuel may have gummed up the carburetor. It will need to be dissembled and cleaned.3. Did you add fuel stabilizer to the fuel the last time you used it? If it was several months ago, you may need to drain the fuel from the tank and refill with fresh fuel. Then be sure to add the fuel stabilizer before you store it.4. The factory instructions suggest that you run the generator once a month for several minutes with a light load. 1. Maker sure the fuel shut off valve is on.2.

Yes if you forgot, it would eventually overfill the black tank and rise out the toilet. This would probably take about a half hour. You don't need to fill the tank up or even get close to that. I just turn it on and wait by the monitor and keep checking till it gets about 2/3 full. Flush and fill again till about 1/3. Flush and stay outside and just try to fill the bottom of the tank ( about a min) then empty. Just don't turn it on and get involved in something else!

Just pull the water container out and dump the water. Water should be fully drained within 1 min after unit turned off.

Should be clear. After a period of time I think it goes bad. Mine did that very quickly and I tossed it.

I left it in a bowl and nothjing happened. I never had any luck withn it, I followed the directions and even called the vendor. It still died on. I hope you have better luck.

Unplug it from the wall, plug it back after 20 secs. It probably needs filter cleaned. If you found the manual it tells you how to clean filter or lookup brondell.com. Does it work? If not check water intake for blocks.

I would purge the system completely. The pump should make a coiling sound . Also invest in a tds meter. Does it taste worse that the tap water? If so you might have it plumbed backwards.

I am under the impression that you should not run it dry. I unplug mine as soon as it "sputters" when emptying a water canister.

Yes. Don't let all the water steam away. Then the gunk leftover from water stays in the bottom of dry machine burning before the machine turns off. Just unplug the machine before it's empty.

YES! After I emptied the container of the left over, I started the rinsing process. Four containers of rinsing I still had the button lit. I decided to let it be for a while before I demolished it.Next morning I ran white vinegar thru it and let it rest.I then ran water and low and behold the button went off. good luck

Yes I can answer that question - because the same thing happened to me. When you are through with your iron be sure to empty the water don't leave it in the iron. Also put water in the iron before turning it on. Both of those situations are described in the handbook.

There is no audio or visual signal to the end of the brewing cycle...at least not in my model. I just wait until I don't hear it brewing anymore, then wait a minute for the last of the water to filter through the grounds.

No issues. Just attach a hose turn water on move it around a bit and dump it Takes less than 10 minutes. Put small amount of dawn in tank for cleaning and smell

Hi, this is Steve over at Aqua Products. 1st this issue may be hard to diagnose over the internet, so if you want to talk to someone live please call 1-800-845-4856. Ok here are some ideas. First if you bring the cleaner up to the pool surface you should be able to see if the water flow switches from forward to backward after say 30 seconds if this does not happen it could be debris stuck in the intake, or in the propeller. Please also check if the bag was installed properly. lastly it could be a simple spring on the flap. I hope this helps.steve

Nope. You're only supposed to keep it working for 10 seconds. You should see the valve on the container pucker. If not there is probably something wrong with the container.
