Hi

I just cleaned Alexandra, but now when i squeeze the bottle there is nothing coming up in the little pipe. If i unscrew the atty and blow from the top i can blow bobbles in the bottle, but if i press it to get some juice up in the tube there is nothing

Loosen the bottle 1/8 or 1/4 of a turn. Also check if the bottom of the tube is not sucked to the bottom of the bottle - did you cut the bottom of the tube to an inverted V?

Hi @kimbo

Just check the black little O-Ring.

The bottle might not seal properly (The O-ring might be bent or twisted so it doesn't create an airtight seal)

Thank you thak you @Andre @Jimbo

It was a combination of the two. I cat to small V in the pipe the begining and the o_ring got misformed, so i just re did the V and took the o-ring out, cleaned it and not she is dripping like a school girl ant a Justin Bieber consert

I got a good tip here on the forum as i think I over tighten my bottles and that caused the o-ring in the bottle cap to buckle and bend.

Someone suggested that I take the o-ring out of the bottle cap and fit it over the neck of the bottle.

Result is a good airtight seal and no disfigured o-ring.

Glad you got sorted Kimbo

Thanks for that. Did that and it works way better than original setup. Everyone should do this. Kudos to the someone who suggested it to you

I think it was @andro

Am still using the original setup though - and not had a problem. I don't overtighten the bottle. If I do make it too tight, it tends to move around a bit once connected. I tighten it just until it starts feeling like the threads have gripped it properly. After the bottle is empty, it normally feels a bit tighter than it was when I put it in.

 

[Jimbo]

Yes I think it was @andro who gave the tip

I actually got O-rings on all my bottles now, thus no need to take o-rings on and off when using another bottle or switching juices.

Occasionally I had leaking from my bottle as well due to disfigured o-ring when over tightening, since using the o-ring on the bottle neck method I don't have this leaking either.

I tried this, but it is a bit too messy for me ... the joy of Jane lies in the fact that she doesn't leak, but when I tried this method I kept getting a little juice on the outside when changing bottles or refilling, so I am back to the o-ring inside the cap
