I filled the tank and turned it on. Within 5 minutes the tank was empty. Is this normal?

I have the same problem. After going through 1 gallon of fluid, it stopped working all together.

This version is not the Froggy's Fog Snow Machine - The Pictures, Description and Manufacturer are wrong. This machine is a toy version by Forum Novelties. 1 tank should last about 20 minutes. I am not sure why yours would be using the entire tank in 5 minutes. Please call us at 877-376-4499 x 4 for technical service and one of our team will be happy to work with you on the solution.

Hey Steve, there should only be running water sound when the tank is filling after you used some of the stored water. Unless you drained the tank to fill up a big big pot, it should not take that long to refill. You might want to check to see if the psi or pressure of the tank is where it should be. You are not filling the entire tank, you are filling a portion with an air balloon providing the pressure to push stored water out to the spigot on command. This is a closed system so water cannot be running forever. If so, the sound is either from something else or you have a major leak below the sink.

I'm not an expert in this but I can tell you that the pump on my system is very quiet. There is a pressure switch that tells the pump when your tank is full. Either you haven't ran it enough to fill the tank or the pressure switch is not working (or needs adjustment). Have you tried iSpring customer service? They may be able to help

My personal experience is that when I first fill my tank I have an issue with the torch having very little power. But after using it for a bit, it suddenly takes off and starts working at full power. I have no idea if it is due to a flow regulator or not.

I don't know. I have two of these generators and they both hold a full 4 gallons. Maybe, your tank, is partially collasped, or crushed, thereby reducing the capacity. You might let it run out of gas, and then fill it to see how much it takes, rather, than drain it out to measure the amount of gas. Be sure, the generator is level.

No make sure you set the temp up and let it sit in the tank 15 mins before you turn it on.

I that happened to me.. basically you over filled it and the pressure pushed the top tank up.... fill up to the top of filter, or just below. It's good to go

No....It is empty...Have to ensure that valve is closed and have a good power supply to let compressor fill air tank.

It's normal at first fill up, I was concerned about the noise also but after about 2 hrs the tank filled up and the noise stopped. Follow the manual it's very descriptive. After the tank fills up you have to let all the water out (about 5 min). When it fills up again the water is safe to drink and there's no noise. Good luck.

I had the same problem I found out it was because I didn't fill the inner tank, you can add water to it when you put it in you will see bubbles keep pulling it out and putting it back in till the bubble stop then wait till the prime light goes on then turn on the pump and it will start flowing don't worry

Clean it out completely and check cords. Also make sure there is water in it, If not it may slow down or stop without it. Mine did that, but after I cleaned it and filled it back up, it was up and running. I think it's because the water was too low. That makes sense to me.

Not to be insulting,but there is another way to tell it's on,your water will clear up. Depending on the size of the tank,(mine is in a 20gal.tall),it took 3 days to clear it up.

Hi Jill, Mine took 6 hours the first time but after that it fills fast.. 20mins for a gallon I think.

No the tank is delivered empty. I think it has something to do with shipping a dangerous gas under pressure. I don't think any tank will be shipped full. Finding someones to fill them can be a chore. It took a few calls and visits to people who said they could then couldn't fill them.

It would take 40 minutes to fill your 5 gallon tank, and if you had any leaks in your system at all it would be running all the time to try to maintain. Wouldn't recommend it for that large of a tank. I have a 4 gallon tank on my truck and tried to use it for air bags, horn etc.. took 20 min to get it to 40 psi with no leaks in system. Was pretty disappointed with it.

Is the fill cap on? If it is, open the cap, this should allow the tank to go back to it's original shape. If this is not the case, I would return the tank because this is not normal.
