The vaporiser is "spitting" out water, instead of a steady steam.now what ?
I had this same problem! It's not because the tank is too full. I never overfilled mine, but I had the same spitting problem. I realized it was because I had added too much salt. I tried it once with no salt, but it never did anything. Literally was plugged in for 12 hours, and nothing happened. So I added just a PINCH of salt, and it works perfectly now. It's also not because you haven't cleaned it.....Literally just too much salt.
Thank you so much!! I did add too much salt! And the water was only lasting 4 hours as well. I dumped that water, rinsed the tank and added fresh water with no added salt. It took a few minutes for the machine to start producing steam (and honestly in retrospect, I think it was my impatience that led to adding salt in the first place) but now it's working great and is whisper quiet and no longer sputtering. Thanks again Margaret!

If spitting, the resevoir is too full.
Mine is 3 days old n this is literally the 3rd time I am using it n it makes gurgle sounds n ''spits" hot water out almost scalding me! I shouldn't have to clean it because it is NEW n it gurgles for about an hour spitting out this hot water! After the water is DONE gurgling, the water evaporates after about 4 to 6 hours! By the time I awake, it has stopped n has stopped a long time prior as it is COMPLETELY cooled down! What is this things problem?
Add distilled water to the tap

My son ia very sick mine is only been used one night and now all its doing is spitting out tons of water where the steam comes from im livid damn thing cost me 40$ for it to be useless after one use so mad right now !
I'm upset. Mine is 2 days old and my son is sick and I don't have time for this stupid thing to be sputtering hot water all over the nursery. I should not have to clean it after ONE USAGE!!! I feel furious about it.

Clean the unti - and do not add salt. I live in a major hard water city...and was amazed at how much dirt the tank collected. I tried adding salt to to stop the spitting, which did make a lot more steam, but did NOT stop teh water spit. I also noticed, with salt added, water in tank would only last 4-6 hours, not the 18-24 hours it should. I just figured it out, and now mine works great again, and does not spit. I cleaned the water tank throughly, several rinses, then wiped out entire inside. If you want it to work like new, you have to keep your tank as clean as new. I am going to start filtering my water that I put in with a double pantyhose I made simply so there no more dirt ~ a clean tank will fix the problem, it did mine :)

Have you cleaned it recently? Sometimes that's an indicator that it needs to be cleaned.
