I can't seem to get the water to flow freely from the tank to the humidifier. When I plop on the tank, a few bubbles enter and some water goes into the humdifier, but after that initial flow, no more water flows from the tank. I checked the spring and gasket on the tank, and all looks good. Any ideas?
I read you rite,t the humidifier won't supply enough water to wet the roller . If so then follow the fresh water line down to the shut off valve. Most likely a saddle valve. with screws holding the valve tight to the side of the water pipe. I have had many of these plug up with junk in the water over time. best suggestion is to screw in the valve all way till it stops hard ,like suddenly. If it very stiff to turn the valve get a wrench and loosen the collar nut just a bit so the valve screw handle will screw in and out easier. Remember clockwise is in or OFF, and Counter clockwise is open or out. Run this valve closed and open a few times, then check the humidifier float for proper water level. Good Luck, Bill
