What solution do you put in the bogue unit for hard contacts--just water?? BOB

I use Boston fluid with protein deposit remover. Same as I use everyday when I'm not running the Bogue ultra sonic cleaner.

Never plain water! You should only use a Saline Solution as recommended for your contacts. I do not use hard contacts though, only monthly or dailies, so cannot comment on how this works on hard contacts.

I had the same problem but I also was aware of it before I bought it. I think it is just the force of the suction that pulls the dirt out and it may just be a problem with the bottom filter loaders. My solution is to use the remote to place the unit near the shallow end and pull it up to the sun shelf. I place it there and then remove it. In essence I incrementally pull the unit out of the water. That's what works for me.

I bought a different brand of solution as well to try, and it seems to work fine. Good luck!

Look on the bottom for a black round cap. Gently remove the cap. Put the water inside that hole. Close it back up and put it back inside the unit.

Let the unit completely cool down. Use a plastic 1/2 teaspoon to clean out the ridges and the hard stuff, then wipe with a damp cloth everywhere you see, until completely clean. Then use a dry cloth to finish the job!

Carb cleaner or hot water ... Mine got a little gunked up once and this worked

I had this too. I ran 2 full containers of just water through it. It's fine now.

Hmm I think that's odd and it makes me think your unit is leaking. I personally would replace it. I don't think you can add water...

There may be some dirt, grime or coffee grind particles between the tank and the machine, prohibiting a tight seal. I would first try to clean the contact areas, particularly the O-ring.

Thus far my unit works okay....As a suggestion, phone the company for a solution

Either you have hard water and need to clean the unit, or possibly something got into the machine. I have taken off the plate on the bottom of the unit (kind of a long triange with 3 screws) this was recommended from one of the critiques I read. I only use bottled distilled water, as our's is so hard, and it will keep the life of the machine extended. Hope this helps.

Hi Jim, I made my hoses going to and from the DD long enough so that I could snap the suction unit with out a problem. Yhat is the only solution I have to you query. Good Luck.

No I am not having any problems it could be because you have hard water try bottle water or distilled water that should work

We have very hard water and have cleaned our unit a couple of times with vinegar. It works fine. About a quarter cup of vinegar and fill the unit with cold water. Turn it on and let it shut off automatically. Be sure to rinse thoroughly. I may use Louise's suggestion to run plain water in the unit but I haven't had a problem. this is a great unit. We use it several times a day.

Did you fill the unit with salt and or feshwater first? You should fill the canister first - do not run it dry. Then use prime pump or a power fire up.

I used tap water that runs through my undersink water filter. That keeps most of the hard water minerals out which can cause a problem of buildup inside the humidifier.

If the ground is too dense water will come up and over the top part where the clear lid is screwed on. Sometimes turning down the water pressure or find another area to put the probe in. I usually turn it on and go around pushing it in the soil until I find an area less dense and the water does not come out the top.
