Thanks To Chas79 For The Original Guide
Many Of You That Have A Bathmate Have Seen The Videos Showing How To Clean The Release Valve.....This Guide Is To Help You Clean The Whole Valve Assembly. If Your Bathmate Has Been Losing Pressure Or Little Air Bubbles In Your Bathmate,Then This Will Most Likely Be Of Some Help.
You Will Need A Couple Items.
1) A Piece Of 1/2" Inner Diameter Pvc Pipe, I Used A 24” Long Piece,
2) A Socket Spinner Handle That Would Fit In One End Of The Pvc Pipe,
3) And A 4mm Socket Adapter It Fits Perfectly To Push The Assembly Out…........
4) Optional........ I Also Bought A Long Wood Dowel That I Could Fit Into The Pvc Pipe To Make It More Sturdy. I Cut It To About 17” Long And Slipped It Into The Pvc Pipe
Now Put Together Your Tool, If You Bought A Wood Dowel Cut It Down To About 17” In Length And Slip It Into The Pvc Pipe, Than In The Other End Of The Pipe Put Socket Spinner Handle In, If It Is Loose Wrap Some Tape Around The Handle To Make A Tight Fit. Than Snap On The 4mm Socket Adapter To Socket Spinner Handle That’s It.
Inside Your Bathmate Is A Rubber "O" Ring That Holds The Valve Assembly Locked In Place. In Order To Clean It You Will Have To Push The Assembly Out. To Do This Squirt Some Dish Soap Inside Your Bathmate , And Get The O-ring Covered With The Dish Soap Then Use The Pvc Pipe With The 4mm Socket Adapter Side And Push The Spring Assembly Out.
Once It's Out, Clean All The Parts And Rinse The Soap Out Of Your Bathmate If Your "O" Ring Is Damaged In Anyway You Can Buy Replacement "O" Rings At Any Hardware Store. Now You Have To Reassemble The Pump, Put Together The Spring Assembly Drop The "O" Ring In And Line It Up With Spring Housing. Now Use The Open End Of The Pvc Pipe And Push The "O" Ring Back On. That's It. Now Your Bathmate Should Work Properly And Not Lose Pressure From The Valve
