just remember set it low at first, so low you dont think it will collect anything then wait 24 hours. if no improvment turn it up a bit (not too much ..it will still looklike it is too low)and again wait. do this over and over until it collects. this ensures proper setting and a setting that makes it the most effiecient. it is improper to immediatly set it so it is collecting foam/water in cup. it need to break in and most people tend to set them too high at first. be patient when waiting.
