Troubleshooting
Pump not dispensing soap
Ensure the pump head is securely tightened. Check if the internal tube is submerged in soap. If the pump is new, it may need several pumps to prime. If clogged, try rinsing the pump mechanism with warm water.
Soap is dripping from the nozzle
The reverse-flow valve may be obstructed or not functioning correctly. Try cleaning the nozzle area. If the problem persists, the pump mechanism may need replacement, although this is rare given the product's durability.
Air is entering the pump
Check that the pump head is fully sealed. Ensure the internal ball bearings are clean and free of debris. If the issue continues, there might be a seal problem with the pump head.
Slow or weak dispensing
The soap or sanitizer might be too thick for the pump. Try a thinner liquid. Ensure the pump tube is not blocked. Clean any visible residue from the nozzle.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

- Cleaning the Interior: Periodically, empty the dispenser and rinse the internal components with warm water. Ensure the pump mechanism is clear. Do not use harsh chemicals or bleach inside the dispenser.
- Maintenance: Ensure the pump head is securely closed after refilling to prevent drying out. Store in a dry place when not in use for extended periods.
