How do I use this? Just squeeze the blue part? Bought this but am so confused, I squeeze and squeeze but very little water comes out.

The outlet (the end next to the squeezer pump) needs to be well below the level of the intake end of the hose, otherwise a siphon cannot be created.Several brisk squeezes of the pump should produce a strong siphon.

Make sure that the opposite end(input) is fully submerged in the water and squeeze the blue part. Just keep squeezing until you get a good flow of water to come out and let gravity do its work after that. I think it works best when the blue part (output) is a lot lower then the opposite tube end (input).

As long as the container you're putting the water into is lower than where you're drawing it from it should work. The only other thing I can think of is there is a hole of some sort in the hose so no suction.

I think there's a plug at the bottom to let the internal water out. You'll have to look and see if it's there. I remember looking for the same thing. The manual is not at all clear on this.

The bottle doesn't squeeze very easily. With mine if you squeeze it the water can come out around the o - ring. Been like that since I got it. Long to short. I'd say no.

Fill it with cold water and let it set until the foam rubber thing inside soaks up the water, Then roll it up until you get the water out. Better yet, send it back and hope you get a refund. It doesn't work and it just makes you sweat more at night.

I spilled some yogurt on it and I found that blotting (very light pressure) with a damp cloth cloth worked well and then once I got every thing up I pressed much harder to get the excess water out. it worked well. as for keeping it as black as the day you got it... well... I'm open to sugggestions. HTH.

Hi - you may have a slow leak, make sure the top is screwed down tight before you insert the cartridge. Also make sure insert the cartridge fast ( screw on the cap) otherwise there is not enough pressure to push all the water out. If none of it works - return the unitgood luck

You have to use a bit of "squeeze" pressure to get the fluid started, once it has, don't use any more or the flow becomes too much. It also helps to keep the bottle in a more upright position while using the brush when you can and especially if you already have to much "flow" going! It is a balancing act to learn how to control the flow of fluid, but it works really well once you've gotten some practice with it. I really haven't had too much of a "leakage" problem, so maybe you have a defective bottle....

The one I have doesn't hold water. I have a water pick for that. Hope this helps.

First try pump alone in pan of water.even on lo some water should flow thru.There is a dial on side of pump minus to plus. Turn it to plus for maximum flow rate.If nothing comes out it probably is defectiveIt should move one half inch tube of water around one foot up

If you have the blue tip rotated to 'spray', it should work very well, and should be rotated back to 'close' when you are finished. If it still does not work, you can remove it from the bottle and dip the end in hot water, then pump fifteen or twenty times to clear it. Make sure to remove it from the hot water and continue to pump until the water is gone from the tube before you put it back on the bottle to use.

I just put it into the base with the water. Make sure to clean and dry it well if not using for while. I used mine for a week, put it away for a month, and it stopped working when I brought it back out again. Good luck!

When the pitcher is fully assembled, take the lid off (not obviously easy - I have to get my fingernail between the lid and the pitcher to lift it up). With the faucet on slowly, fill the top portion until it is about to overflow. The water trickles through the filter and then collects in the clear portion of the pitcher. Any time the water volume gets low, just refill the same way. It's OK if water sits in the top "blue" portion, because it will eventually pass through the filter. When you pour water out, it is only coming up from the water in the bottom, already filtered portion of the water. I do not plan to need to wash the pitcher, until the filter needs to be replaced.

I have two different versions of this model and I'm very happy with them. If you just flush it might not release a full force of water. If you hold the hand down, however, it seems to provide much more force of water. Try holding it down. You could also call American Standard and talk to them for some advice.

Pull water container and insert back. Sometimes that does not fit properly and does not produce steam. Use only filtered water. My is perfectly working so far.. Call Black and Decker for trobleshhot your problem...Good luck

This same answer was provided by Clint in his advice, but it was the same problem I had when first using my machine: Make sure that the tube that goes into the fluid reservoir (a/k/a tank) is reaching the liquid in the reservoir. This can get pulled back up through the cap (or may just never have been positioned correctly) so that it doesn't reach far enough into the reservoir to pull the fluid out.

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.

I am not too happy with mine. It doesn't flow out quickly. I am in the process of returning my purchase. Wish you luck. Try calling customer service they might be able to help you
