Yes plastic materials/rubber and alcohol, are not a good combination.Using alcohol on some clear plastics will cause cracks. My Leluv cylinder got them after cleaning with alcohol.
Seems to be small fissures or crack in my cylinder. Idk how since it’s never been dropped and I keep it in a padded case.
Is it still safe to pump with?
Should I create a cleaning video?Using dish soap and hot water is safest way to clean. Follow the directions of @squirt_inducer_man
That would be great. Did you get the brush to clean?Should I create a cleaning video?
A toothbrush and the cleaning stick, that you get with your Bathmate pumps.That would be great. Did you get the brush to clean?

If you're using the MityVac, put together the water vacuum system. Fill the entire cylinder full of water. Press the base of the cylinder to your stomach to create a good seal. Pump slowly and observe to see if there's any water seapage anywhere.How can I tell if my rube is damaged? It won't hold the vacuum. But I'm pumping for length, so I'm not sure if the tube is damaged or because it's so narrow, that the fit isn't right.
Thanks man. Do you think it's a good idea to pump for length everyday?If you're using the MityVac, put together the water vacuum system. Fill the entire cylinder full of water.

If you're using an old pump cylinder set that doesn't have a water trap, this will be very tricky. If you have a blue or red light, go into a dark room, shine the light inside the cylinder and inspect the cylinder wall for any crack. For air pressure leakage test, you will need to submerge the cylinder in the water while you pump. Look for air bubbles escaping the cylinder parts and hose connection.
Something like this.I use a baby bottle brush and dishwashing liquid.
It's a good idea to run some hot water through the hose every now and then, too. There's no practical way to brush it out. Lube can work its way along the hose to the pump, and if it dries out, it can gum up the pump.
