wisam Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 Hello,I just got a new hookah a few weeks ago and its been working great.My problem is, when i blew into the hose it would clear the chamber through the vent. However, now when i blow in the hose it shoots water up through the shaft and into the bowl!Whats wrong?Wisam Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
EvansLight Posted August 23, 2006 Share Posted August 23, 2006 check the purge valve. The ball bearing could be stuck. Try unscrewing it and checking the bearing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

wisam Posted August 23, 2006 Author Share Posted August 23, 2006 nevermind! fixed it! haha.. thanks anyways though. For anyone who doesnt know, unscreaw the valve cover that stems out from the hookah and roll the revealed ball bearing with your finger! real easy...

You are getting residue in the chamber. I clean the purge valve with rubbing alcohol. Take the ball out and clean it really good as well. You don't have to do that very often, but if it gets stuck be sure to clean it good and it won't bother you for awhile. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
