I just use some water or coconut based lube and all I need to do to clean it is to properly rinse it off in the shower and then just wipe it dry with a hand towel. Real easy to do.
And yes, always keep the hose/hand-pump attatched to the valve.
I wonder if I’m doing something wrong- when I pump up to say 10hg pressure….is it supposed to hold at that pressure continuous?
Mine will drop down to like 7/5 and I have to squeeze the hand pump to get it back up etc.
So I’m spending the 5 min pumping every so often to keep pressure. Is there a valve switch or something im not doing? Or do you just continually hand pump to maintain pressure.
I’m ignorant but the Bathmate just maintained pressure and locked it in place.
