I have one of these that worked great. Haven't used it in a few years, and now it seems to be getting air into it. Didn't work well. Any ideas why?

I bet it has a small hairline crack in it. It is getting some air into the system.

I have never had that problem and I have owned mine for several years. I would recommend you contact the manufacturer it could be a malfunction.

Yes, I've started having problems with mine after 7 months. I thought it may be the filter but they said not. They sent me three parts I have to try to replace and see if that works. It seems like the don't want to give out new filters. My suction is fine for about 5 minutes and you can see the diffence. There are no clogs but the motor overheats and shuts down. I'll see what the parts do but I don't thing they are the problem.

I have had mine for 4 months and have had NO problems..It sound like you need to add a lot more air to your ball.

Mine fully inflates. Didn't notice anything on the ends to show that it is not the same as the rest of the unit. I do blow a few breaths in to it though. Might be a bad unit.

I had this happen to mine as well, but it happened straight out of the box! I contacted the company through Amazon and they sent a replacement, which worked for a year, then the same thing happened, but this time it was out of warranty so there was nothing left to do but replace it, with a Vornado. No problems with that one.It's a shame, I wish Air King's quality was better. The fan is the style I want, but I would not suggest buying one after the two I had failed so miserably.

Make sure the bag is clean and there are no obstrctions around the fan. Otherwise is most likely a control board problem and will need factory repair. I'm on my second one after first lasted 3 years. Decided cheaper to buy a new one than repair the old one.

I also thought that mine was broken ad well after a short amount of time. mine doesn't seem to work if I fill it past the 300 ml line. I would suggest trying filling half. Thats how I get mine to produce the mist.

I have one, but have not been able to get it to work. I have contacted the company and no response. Just make sure you vent it to the outside.

I've had one for a few years now and I came back here to update my review. If your sanimate is not producing the ozone and is possibly making a clicking sound it could have sediment of some kind built up in there. I used a vacuum (milage may vary) and ran it over the front of the Sanimate and its now quite and pumping out clean air again.

I haven't had that problem. Mine works fine and I've had it quite a while now. Are you blowing the water that gets in out the top? I don't dive down with it; I just swim laps.

Mine works fine. I love it. What is the problem with yours? I have had mine since last spring.

The first coller we had did not work correctly. The new one received was goodWe can check it by the instructions that tell you to blow air into it and you will see it is working.

I have no problem with my unit. Are you moving around a lot when it is inflating? That will abort it. Also do you have the owners manual. It may help.

Apparently air got in pump. Had to constantly shut off and purge system. Again this was with unit ten years ago. Eventually trashed unit didn't try to fix it.

seems to be a problem with some of these units. mine will do that every once an awhile right now it is not doing that . I think it has something to do with moisture in the unit and temperature

I had trouble with mine my husband figured out the fan went out on it. Maybe it has a faulty fan I have been reading where they quit blowing mist and that's what mine did.
