Troubleshooting
Pipe not freezing adequately
Ensure the spray is applied directly and continuously to the pipe section. Check that the pipe diameter is within the 8-22mm range and that the ambient temperature is not excessively high. Verify the canister is not empty.
Freeze duration is shorter than expected
Factors such as water flow rate, ambient temperature, and pipe material can affect freeze duration. Ensure water flow is stopped if possible and minimize exposure to heat sources during the freezing process.
Hoses or regulator valve leaking
Check all connections are secure. Ensure rubber seals or washers are present and in good condition. If damage is apparent, contact customer support.
