I have Rainbow vacuum R-1650. Why does water I am dumping out look foamy?

Because you are pulling shampoo out of the carpet from a previous shampooing. Also the air whips around inside the waste bucket. Incidentally.... https://www.vacuumland.org/cgi-bin/TD/TD-VIEWTHREAD.cgi?958 ..

Rainbow SRX motor spinning slow

Sounds like an unwanted ingress of water into the motor assembly. Not a lot can be done without stripping the machine down and taking a look at any damage.

I have a rainmate and I am tired of spending money one the oil scents. I like the spice scent. What other product can I put in my machine besides these expensive oils?

You can use vanilla extract or other extracts, your favorite perfume, other oils. Just not use anything with excessive chemicals, such as household products (pinesol, etc) Be sure and keep your unit clean, move stem that goes into water and use vinegar to remove any hard water deposits. It should last many years if taken care of. I am a Rainbow distributor.

Rainbow vacuum E2 smoking hose

If your Rainbow vacuum E2 is experiencing smoking and a red blinking light, it indicates a potential issue with the electrical system or a blockage in the airflow. Here are a few steps you can take to troubleshoot and address the problem:
  1. Safety first: Turn off and unplug the vacuum immediately to prevent any further damage or potential safety hazards.
  2. Inspect the hose: Carefully examine the hose for any visible signs of damage, such as cracks or holes. Ensure that the hose is securely connected to both the vacuum unit and the wand. If you notice any damage, it may be necessary to replace the hose.
  3. Check for blockages: Remove the hose and wand assembly from the vacuum and inspect them for any blockages or obstructions. Pay particular attention to the areas where the smoking occurred. Clear any debris or blockages that you find.
  4. Clean or replace the filters: A clogged or dirty filter can restrict airflow and cause the vacuum to overheat. Remove and clean the filters according to the manufacturer's instructions. If the filters are worn out or damaged, it may be necessary to replace them.
  5. Electrical system check: The red blinking light indicates a potential electrical issue. Examine the electrical connections and cords for any signs of damage or loose connections. If you notice any issues, it is advisable to have a professional technician inspect and repair the electrical components.
  6. Seek professional assistance: If the smoking and red blinking light persist after performing the above steps, it is recommended to contact the manufacturer's customer support or a professional vacuum repair service. They can provide further guidance and assistance in diagnosing and resolving the issue.

My rainbow isn't working properly anymore. The water is not spinning, suction seems to be still working, the water doesn't move much, the air is merely blowing on the water surface.

There may be a problem with the impeller or water flow system in your Rainbow air purifier. Here are some steps you can take to troubleshoot the issue:

1. Check the impeller: The impeller is the part of the water flow system that rotates and creates the vortex that sucks in air and pollutants. It's possible that the impeller has become clogged or damaged, which would prevent it from spinning properly. Try removing the impeller and cleaning it thoroughly to see if this improves the water flow.
2. Check the water level: Make sure that the water level in the Rainbow is high enough to cover the bottom of the impeller. If the water level is too low, the impeller may not be able to rotate properly.
3. Check the air flow: If the air is not flowing through the water as strongly as it should be, there may be a problem with the motor or fan that powers the air flow. Try cleaning the motor and fan blades to see if this improves the air flow.
4. Check the water flow system: The water flow system in the Rainbow consists of a series of tubes and valves that regulate the water flow. Make sure that all of the tubes and valves are properly connected and functioning correctly.

If none of these steps resolve the issue, you should contact Rainbow customer support for further assistance.

Rainbow vacuum red light comes on and it won't work

Need more info. By not working do you mean the motor is not running, the beater bar is not turning or is the red light in the rainbow unit itself.

Rainbow Vacuum AquaMate (Carpet Cleaning System). My Aquamate keeps leaking.

Question edited for clarity. If you can get the trigger unit apart, you will almost certainly find a spring that pushes the trigger back and an O-Ring that is sticking. Both parts can be found in Home Depot or similar. Clean and reassemble with some Vaseline for lubrication.

Cannot remove the brass nut for separator on Rainbow Canister Wet/Dry Vacuum.

Janice and Momodo. Use a wrench or pliers to remove the nut. Before you replace it, put Vaseline on the threads. It will be much easier to remove next time.

Motor seemed to get hot while vacuuming

There probably is a locked up bearing. It is not a good idea to try to keep trying to run the unit. It will only cause further damage.
