I use a clear colored dish soap. Is the nozzle lined? My soap starts turning blue/green w/all dispensers I've tried.

to the best of my knowledge the nozzle is not lined. I have seen soap turning blue/green with other dispensers I have used but after about 5 months of use and multiple fills I have not seen the discoloration with this one. However, we don't use a crystal clear soap. The soap we use most often has a slight color. Hope this helps...good luck

I don't know if the nozzlie is lined (I would say the very end of it is not, based on what I can see), but I use a clear soap (Dr. Bronner's), and it has no discoloration whatsoever.

Same problem here, I've noticed the clear dish soap has a warning not to use bleach, which may indicate that it may have some chemical that is corosive.

The attached soap container is plastic. I cannot detect any lining in the nozzle, but, we have not experienced any color nor consistency changes when soap is dispensed. Currently, we are using Dawn (blue). We have used Palmolive yellow without any color problem in the past.

Well, I am using hand soap, not dish soap. You can use pretty much any liquid or gel soap unless it has "beads" in it or something that would clog the pump.

Mine is just stained from use. I'd imagine you'd have to wash it after every use to keep it bleach white. I've tried all types of soap and it's just stained.

It is produced as a liquid soap dispenser, so the consistency of the liquid is really the issue. If you used something more water-like in viscosity, the pump might not work as well. You wouldn't know until you tried it. Of course, if the liquid shampoo or conditioner or other types of liquid soap used were of a very high viscosity (more like molasses), then the pump might clog. We had a kitchen liquid soap dispenser where we had this problem - we bought liquid soap we thought the pump would use, but it was too viscous and the pump did not work correctly. I'm sure this applies to the pump in this product. It is produced as a liquid soap dispenser, so the consistency of the liquid is really the issue.

We have a Samsung HE. We were using Charlies in our old top loader, so we have only ever used Charlies in the Samsung from new. We put the scoop of powder in the middle of the dispenser tray and it is completely clean and empty after the wash is completed. The tray still looks as new as the day we bought it, no soap sludge at all.

I don't have that problem. When you extend the hose you do need to seat the nozzle by hand. Love the faucet, hate the soap dispenser.

Sorry, don't know. I've always only used the Simple Human soap. Love this dispenser.

No you use latex paint as is. try using FLOETROL paint conditioner. It helps to keep the nozzle from clogging.

I have the exact same problem. It is not the soap/water ratio because the other tops work just fine with what was in the bottom. Were you ever able to find a solution to make it work again?

I put in a couple drops of dish soap and then fill it with hot water. Swish it really good, then make sure to rinse it very well. Be sure to let it dry completely before refilling it.

Yes, I purchased Premier 552029 13 oz brushed nickel soap dispenser. This was a good match, easy top refill, and the soap doesn't need to be diluted to flow well. Good luck!

I have this problem as well, even with it watered down for a foaming dispenser. I try to just rinse the tip of the dispenser when I wash my hands so it doesn't get that hardened clump on the end.

I use a small dish cloth twisted up and run it through the round nozzle, and I also always put both nozzles in the dishwasher after I soak them in sudsy water.

Do your others?! the middles of mine have never discolored...but the edges have, where I have not been super scrubber. I have one that I have used for 12 plus years, and it has a "rim of gold" but the center is still silver-colored, and the one I go to first--I bought 2 more, and think they are the BEST!

soap dispenser is about a year old and no problems. I recharged mine it holds a Charge well. I have mine on the sink

if the thickness is same or comparable to hand soap (like softsoap brand) there should be no problem.i found that if you use watery soap (that is used in foaming hand soap) the dispenser does not work.

I have had the same cloudiness issue. I found by using a damp paper towel, after it has been in the dishwasher, it becomes clear again. I thought is was the fault of my dishwasher or the soap I was using.
