need help with aqua zamp misting system

[Lokithechameleon]

my mister seems to be clogged it wasn't misting. I first thought all I had to do was prime it but that's not working, my motor seems to be spitting out water its not a stream like it should be, so im assuming there's not enough pressure to push the water threw the misters. what do I do to fix this

It might be clogged with calcium deposits. Try soaking the mister head in vinegar.

Did you give it enough time to prime ? And did you disconnect right at the pump output ?
I would disconnect both your input/output and make sure there isn't a clog in the input - then reconnect input and turn it on let it run for at least a min. If your still getting a sputtering of water it may be a problem with a seal inside the pump (If it's anything like the larger pumps we used to use) I'd contact aquazamp. In the old days my father used to use innertube from old tires to replace seals on water pump-

Mine would do that when i forget to refill the sump and it was running dry for a bit... When i refill the water the nozzles wouldnt spray as much as normal but after a couple day, it would return back to normal.... Is this the same case as u?.... If not then i would clean the nozzles with vinager

I'll try the vinegar, I primed it and let it run a while it's still spurting
