    I think that it might need to be bleed (Bleed the air out) Usually when its needing a change the flow will slow down

    Mine does that as well, but I have a faucet hook up and the pressure isn't optimum.
    I'm sure it will be fine, my works well even w/ the hiss.

    Good luck!

    On the Balder which is a big propane looking can there should be a air release valve like on a car tire. This is just from my experience there may be a better opinion out there

    +1 I doubt the hissing is going to effect anything....even if it is annoying:p.
