FAQ
Question: When using the Liquid Setting, the G-10 does not appear to draw liquid out of the bottle.
Answer:There are several possible reasons this could occur.
- Make sure the straw/diptube is installed in the underside of the G-10 cap.
- Make sure the tiny feeder holes on the underside of the G-10 are not clogged. To unclog the feeder holes do the following: Remove the straw/diptube. Turn the dial to the first liquid setting and stick a needle or pin through the small hole where the straw was attached. Repeat this process for each setting.
- You must either have the shower nozzle installed or have the G-10 attached to the Root Feeder in order for it to feed properly. This is necessary due to the fact that there must be some backpressure for the G-10 to work.
- Make sure that, when you turn the dial to the desired setting, the tiny feeder hole is actually lined up with the hole where the straw/diptube is installed. It may be possible that the round label on the G-10 top was not aligned properly. This rarely ever is the case but is possible.
- You may have too much water pressure. The G-10 was designed to work with standard household water pressure. It works best between 20-40psi. Too much pressure will cause the G-10 to not feed properly and possibly leak around the seams. If this happens, you can simply turn down the water faucet to a level the feeds properly or you can use an inexpensive pressure regulator set to around 40psi. This type of pressure regulator can be found at most hardware stores, discount stores, and RV/camper dealerships for less than $10. The regulator is the preferred method. Another way to reduce back pressure is by adding additional holes to the root feeder probe. Click here for instructions.
- The product you are using may be too thick, or has loose particles in it, causing the feeder holes to be clogged.
