Got my parts but realize mt bathmate has cracks at the top I thought those lines were suppose to be there until I rain my finger nail across it I guess I will have to order a new one :(

Did you buy it through us? How long have you had it? You may be able to get a replacement.

Is that the one ordered longer time ago? If so, consider the warranty "gone" and fix it! For certain small cracks I've used superglue with success! Just your basic running superglue. Gel-like superglue could be easier to apply though. Just a bit of sandpaper, some lighter fluid / strong alcohol to clean and then apply the glue and let dry.

I have rarely heard of this happening but what a great solution if it does! Good work my Brother.
 
yes dld in 2011 unfortunately when August was around Its just been sitting for awhile I used it 2o times maybe the first year and got busy but been having a craving to get back in PE bought the univeral sleeves then the valve and noticed the crack lol smh but i dont think its under warranty since it was long ago but I do have the hydromax badge under my name since I ordered here but are there badges for size genetics and penimaster?

I do have a working X30 Extreme now, quite happy with it! But before I've had some others, seen cracks develop, but fixed with some superglue and works again ...

Yes I looked around and the cracks started to seem common towards the tip of the bathmate but is the glue safe to use once it dries?
 
Epoxy works too. And I'd say it's safe to use when the glue has dried. I just worked with superglue and it worked for me.

A new pump is one option of course, but in this economy I just thought of the fix it solution ... Considering the X-series Extreme pumps are not cheap! Of course a regular series doesn't chomp the account / wallet so much.

I'd fix it, see if it works and perhaps replace later on to a newer model.
 
I feel you dude they are expensive. I would make sure your pump is not leaking that would be a big problem for me... Other than that who cares what it looks like right?
 
Honestly, my Hercules pump has been through a lot. The gaiter came off, fixed it. Cracks developed; fixed them. Still works, but luckily my X30 Extreme unit is pristine, so I use it. Really dig about how the filling works; in the older models you would need to stop the water flow on the valve, meaning the filling was a bit more troublesome. Not a whole lot, but so nice that the X30 series have the lock valve. I know not all are fond of them, but I personally like it.

A trip coming, got to try to throw in some stretches here and there, I will be accompanied so bringing my BM is a no-go. Thankfully I know that even after a pause, only slight reducement might happen and the gains will return.

Best of luck and success tparker84!

Not at all, this is really one of the first times I have heard of this. Maybe 2 cases of 5 years.

I was pretty surprised. Based on the quality of my device I wouldn't have expected it to crack, it's a pretty high quality plastic in use.
 
I've never really dropped mines but was purchased a little over 4 years ago but it you google cracked bathmate you will see in other forums that it has happen to others a few that I've noticed were guys on pegym, a few guys on goodlooking losers blog page I'm not sure how their crack came about but there all in the same spot at the tip below the valve

We'll you know BathMate will stand behind it either way.
 
I know it's a good product I just waited to late to use it I went months at a time not using which closed my warranty window but I have worked in production work cars, appliances and etc they will have issues not everyone can be perfect im hoping I can fix it I super glued it for now just need to get some sand paper from what I've heard
