tashabear Posted December 8, 2008 Report Posted December 8, 2008 (edited) I filled the jar with Eco-Flo dye, attached the dip tube to the power unit, screwed it all together, and... nothing. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? It just doesn't seem to be drawing up the liquid. Edit: Strike that. I needed to let the dye warm up a bit, it seems. It's been in my truck for two days and it's freezing out there. Edited December 8, 2008 by tashabear Quote
Members whinewine Posted December 8, 2008 Members Report Posted December 8, 2008 I filled the jar with Eco-Flo dye, attached the dip tube to the power unit, screwed it all together, and... nothing. Any ideas what I might be doing wrong? It just doesn't see to be drawing up the liquid. It might be clogged. Some dyes seem to have a lot of pigment & they'll clog easily (& make sure the unit is THOROUGHLY cleaned after every use). Take off the little filter on the end of the tube & try it. If that doesn't work, try to see if you can spray clear water through it. If not, it's a defective unit. Return it & raise hell if you need to. russ Quote

I bought it from Froghunter and he'd never give me a hard time about a defective product. He might give me a hard time about breathing his air ;-) but never if I had a problem with something I purchased from his store. (I have to factor in an extra hour per store visit just because we all get to talking!) Quote
