I just bought a misto sprayer yesterday, and I can't get it to work. Am I missing something?

What have you tried? And, don't make yourself crazy. It might have a defect . I love mine. I put in my favorite oil 1/3 way full, pumped it up until I felt resistance and it sprayed just fine.

I filled mine 1/2 with oil. Then I take the plunger out of the cap and put it in the sprayer. I pump the plunger about 10 to 12 times and remove the plunger. Then I press the valve and it will spray oil for about 5 to 10 seconds, Hope this helps you.

Like others mentioned, I suggest you try less oil and pumping it up more. This was the best 10 bucks I ever spent. You have to use quite a lot if you're using it to keep something from sticking to the pan. My favorite thing to use it for is misting Kale with olive oil and then baking the kale until its crunchy. My Kale chips got 100 times tastier after getting this sprayer.

I was not pleased with it either. I could get it to pray a pan but everything still stuck. I think it's best use it to likely mist salad greens with olive oil. But it doesn't do what it is advertised to do. Absolutely not.

fill it no more than half way, a little less is better. pump it with the cap till you feel alot of pressure. it it dosent mist it maybe too full, not enough pressure (you do have to keep it pumped up good) or try changing your olive oil, I use extra light. Hope this helps. I see I got here too late...lol Enjoy your Misto

You definitely have to pump quite a bit. Also, don't fill too full - you need space for the air to compress. And be sure to release the pressure after each use, and clean often so the nozzle doesn't get clogged. A little maintenance is worth never having to buy another can of Pam!

With the container 1/2 filled with oil use the cap as a pump and push it down to the bottem section where the oil is stored. You will have to repeat this about fifteen times to build up enough pressure for oil to spray out of the tip.

There is a little O ring that has to be in place but if it is and you do whhat the others have suggested (1/2 full, pump with the top piece 20 -30 times - then spray) you should be fine. Mine works great.

You have to pump the top up and down to build up the pressure in the container, then you'll be good to go!

Not at all sprayer works just fine. My husband uses it and it's been working great and he uses it for his business. He even ordered two more.

I do not know why the sprayer does not work. Just in case, I always order two or more at a time so I always have a sprayer that works. You might go to Home Depot and purchase one of their plastic sprayer bottles (about $4.00). Then transfer the liquid from the DEER-Off uinto the sprayer bottle. The Home Depot sprayer bottles are fantastic. I use them for everything - they never fail!

There is a little latch underneath the handle that might be flipped up instead of down preventing you from using the spray. Also on the top of the nozzel is a screw thing that controls the flow. That might also be your problem. You will have to play with it.

When I bought mine last year I had the same problem. Even level it didn't work. Called company and they sent me two little pieces of PVC pipe that were cut to fit over the places where the water tank nozzles are pushed up and are supposed to empty. Not explaining it well but basically if it won't work after being level, call the company and they can help.

It may be possible the nozzle has blockage or it may be the cap is not tightened correctly. It may also be a washer is missing, it's hard to see. I had a problem with the sprayer dripping when I wanted to drain the sprayer into the canister. The problem was I didn't relieve the pressure by removing the canister before squeezing the trigger. That was the only problem I had. I can't give you a more technical assessment, if you are like me, I tend to peruse the instructions, so did have to go back and read them carefully. I'm sure you've thought of most of these things but good luck. I liked It may be possible the nozzle has blockage or it may be the cap is not tightened correctly.

You are so right. The lack of water from the sprayer is one of the BIG problems, this product was a complete waste of money for me and I waited a few days to long to return it!!!! we all should be given a credit or a full refund. Maryann if at all possible return it ! Good Luck!

I have the Fimco 25 gal sprayer on my ATV. It is on demand-works from the headlight being on, and only sprays with the hand wand is activated.

I finally found my unit. You have to hold the mist button down for the unit to work. You can turn the fan on, but no mist will come out unless you depress and hold the mist button on the front (below the fan). I have another unit called the ArizonaMist which does not have a fan, but you pump it up, turn it on, and it sprays a mist until the pressure runs out (a few minutes). Then you have to repump it. I think it is better for a car. Hope this helps.

So sorry I haven't responded sooner, been having major internet problems. Have you "squeezed" the trigger back towards the bottle? If you did, and it didn't work, it may be defective.

I assume that you are dialing 1, or 2 on the dial and water is not coming out. If this is the case, ensure that the sprayer/nozzle is coming down, and it does not stay retracted. I read in the instructions that you may have to pull it down the first couple of times. Mine worked fine the first time. Hope this works.

Hi,I bought both the roll on and the spray, the sprayer stopped working! roll on is better bought mine on Amazon.

Since mine is installed, the main valve has been remained open. If your spray head is leaking, my guess is that you have less than perfect parts and/or the installation was not done properly.

Just twist it counterclockwise. My sprayer quit working completely, so I bought a new spray bottle and transferred the contents to it.

I have been having the same problem. I was thinking it was missing a part on the end of the nozzle that the attachments attach to, if that makes sense. Good to know others have got it to work. I'll keep trying.

Since it was a gift, and I only received the difusser I don't have the instructions manual either. I've only noticed the mist will get lower as the water decrease. Try turning it on and off a few times. Maybe you can contact the company and have them send you one.

Are you sure your nozzle isn't stuck? Try changing to Nozzle Clean mode, spray, and back to one of the other modes.
