Just curious, does the water swirls around as Ive seen other revitalizer? Mine doesnt and cant see any mist and smell coming out. The water is still filled and clean after a days use. Is that normal?

It swirls slightly. IF you are concerned about the working, lift off the lid and see if the white center post is rotating. That is how the water vapor is kicked up. There are other mini's that do a better job. If you don't care about looks, the air-o-swiss is the best of the bunch.

I never saw any mist come out but I did smell the vapor. Like some of the others have mentioned this doesn't serve he purpose of neither a dehumidifier or an air cleaner...it probably puts out maybe 2 tablespoons of water per day. To answer your question, unfortunately I would probably have to say yes it's normal.

Well you have to fill it up to the maximum fill line, then it creates this little water vortex. No mist will come out, just a very tiny breeze coming from the holes. Personally, I stopped using mine after a few weeks, it was just not worth it, it did nothing for my room, it's just far too small to be of any decent use, so I moved onto a room ionizer and that worked much better.

It does matter in a way! After 5 months I noticed a reduced output of water so I flipped it upside down after shaking it and the flow has now returned to normal so I feel I can extend its life a bit longer. I'll replace it in a couple more months I think.

I had that same problem with the Essence/Elite models...However the heads on this easy clean model are different you just pop the new one in and go. So less chance of water getting down in side and creating that nasty build up we have to clean every once in a while. I believe this is a much better design and I've only been using for about 2 days so I'll check back in a month and post my findings.

Yes, there should be a visible mist. Mine starts the mist almost immediately and uses almost all of the water when running for 180 minutes. Sounds like yours isn't working properly.

Fortunately I've never had that problem but when my unit stopped creating mist I called the company and they promptly sent me a new unit that unit has worked very well for the last two years. Good luck!

I have not had that problem. I give it a good ole windmill spin or two and place it an upright position (direction of flow) put the supplied caps back on and what little water is left drains down in the cap area. Which you and dump out after about 15mins. Water tastes great no funky smells. I think the windmill spin gets most if all the water out.

You got yours to work? How'd you do that? Haha I can't get mine to soak up anything. I know it's humid too!

Initially, the water may appear cloudy - this is due to tiny air bubbles and will clear up with time and usage there is no exact time frame, rest assured it is perfectly fine and normal.

The pressure is perfect, except during part of the backwash cycle. For the most part, you would not want unfiltered water going into your system anyway I wouldn't think. Ours regenerates at midnight and we haven't seen it as a major problem. Have fun!

It does make the water slightly cloudy. At first it appears clear, but after awhile a cloudy substance settles to the bottom and doesn't go away when swirled around.

I am not using the diffuser, it is a very low flow. I just am using the single flow with output thing, have it pointed to the top of the water and can see small ripples. You can probably pull it out of the water and see it trickling/flowing.

The bad taste is only if you did not follow the directions and purge the system correctly. If you are a manly man like myself this may be an issue. If you follow the directions and don't do what so many of us do then the water is amazing.... Truly... I have had mine now for 3 years without an issue. Several bypassed the UV because it was heating the water when it sat in the system for a long time. The newer system and the sensor they were nice enough to send to previous customers, has fixed it from heating the water because it now turns on and off. This makes it an on demand type of thing.

The smell is not bad. I used a water based top coat that I bought locally. FYI I still love the results!

I found mine misted properly for shorter & shorter durations over time. I also had something growing in the oil after a while. I hope you have better luck.

I have seen mixed opinions about the water flow. I personally had this same issue. But I took the filter off the faucet then took unscrewed the filter out of its housing and made sure all the water was out of filter then did the reinstall steps like I was puting a new filter in. I then put the fu lter back on the faucet. Then very slowly turned the water on to slowly fill the filter with water. And behold I got my flow back I had before. I think there was a air pocket in the filter. Give it a try see what you think. i hope this helps let me know.

I can't tell you if it's intentional but I've had two of these and as soon as they hit hot water the curls at the bottom straighten and the center bundle undoes itself. As far as I can tell if doesn't harm the functionality of the product but it is rather odd. I've also noticed that the first few times it goes into hot water it puts off an odd smell and colors the water yellow. I tend now to soak it until the water runs clear.

Hello, I found out when I called the company, that their filter when "old" builds up a bacteria (that is no harmful but tastes awful) They told me to change the filter more often. However I found that after only a week it would smell bad. To bad, because I love the idea of this filter, but they haven't perfected it... So I went back to Britta filter and no bad tasting water anymore ;)
