I was never able to fit the rubber piece over the valve as well so that is ultimately how I used my vacuvin. Only problem with the vacuvin (the one I have anyways) is that the rubber piece starts to collapse on itself when I try to pull a vacuum past a certain level so the pump is limited there. Also, for whatever reason, I eventually had a harder time getting a good suction out of it because I had to line it up just right to pull any kind of vacuum. I don't know what I was doing wrong but, I filled all the holes on the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]BM[/words] valve (except the center one) with silicon and now all the pumping is done through that one hole rather than all of them. Problem solved and it still works just fine, water or not.

I love the fact that it's 100% quiet though.
 
Could someone give me the exact link to order the right winevac? I found another link but they were all sold out on amazon. I need this really bad because I usually have to pump outside of the shower. Besides I feel like I just need more pressure. Thanks a lot guys!

If you have problems w/ the stoppers (if heating doesn't work), then there is the o-ring, silicone sleeve, [words=http://TLCTugger.com/MOS]vlc[/words], rubberband, and ETC mods to help create the seal.

I want to quote on this as it is very true and in my opinion the easier way to go! I actually cut some silicone away, most likely from a pump sleeve or so. It goes around the valve nicely and with little work you manage to create a good suction. I did try to make the stoppers fit a long time ago, I couldn't do it. Thankfully, someone else had written about this solution as well and that made it possible for me to use the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]BM[/words] with Vine-Vac.
I also have the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]Penomet[/words], for that I hollowed the stoppers inside and now it fits well to the valve opening.
But overall, a thick O-ring type solution is in my opinion the easiest way to get around. It doesn't attach to the unit permanently, so clean up is also easy.
 
Someone mentioned using a long rubber and that can be wrapped around the vac to accomplish the same thing. I will try to find the post and post it here. It sounded like a very good and cheap solution.
 
It would need to be a pretty thick band. Otherwise it would seem that it would get sucked into the vin. Just enough thickness to create the seal w/o sucking under it.

It can be accomplished with about 2" of vinyl tubbing from the plumbing section of a hardware store.

and then wrap the rubber band around that?

No, you just heat the shit out of the tubing with hot water and shape over the valve and let it cool. After that, you can either use it as a permanent installation or as described in other posts as an adapter for pulling pressure at will.
 
Almost seems like it's trying to replicate the look of a rubber bushing. Probably better off just getting the rubber bushing and placing that over the valve.
Just bring the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]BM[/words] to the parts store and tell them it's a polycarbonate strut and it needs a new bushing @ the top. :blush:

ohhhh, I get it! Thanks Brother.
 
Yup the Winevac that was recommended to me does not fit over the [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]bathmate[/words]. I will try to fill the holes somehow and see if that works

Try to make an adapter with some vinyl tubing. Heat first and stretch over the valve. This can be used as a installation or adapter to pull pressure at will.
 
I can't get this to work. Hopefully some of these suggestions will help. I'd like to up the intensity of my [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]bathmate[/words] use

What problems are you having and what model [words=https://officialhydromaxpump.com/?uid=6&oid=2&affid=98]BathMate[/words] are you using?
