Just pump some hot soapy water through pumping it against the bottom of the tub. Take about 5 minutes to clean it properly.

did anyone ever make a video for this?
having the same problem
cleaning with soapy water did nothing

EDIT: figured out how to do it.

basically all you need is a broom or dustpan (the one that has a long handle) or as OP mentioned a pvc pive with specified dimension opening
View attachment 33445

1. Take off valve cap and valve switch

2. add some soap inside your bathmate, towards the O ring (this will act as lubricant)

3. stick your broom/dustpan inside your bathmate and push on the valve/O-ring
the valve body and spring should come out the outer side

4. Clean up everything

5. Throw the O ring back inside the bathmate and line it up to the opening of the small hole at the end of the bathmate

6. Holding the bathmate upside down, put the spring in and then the valve body on the bathmate.

7. its best to sit down during this part. use your thigh to push down on the valve/spring

***The reason I use a broom/dustpan is becuase they usually have caps at the top you can take off and you'll get an opening that should be roughly the size to fit in the O ring into the Valve body.

8. As your pushing down on the valve body with your thigh, use your broom/dustpan/pvc pipe and push down into the O ring slot on the valve body.

Hope this helps some of you guys in the future. Seems be fix my O ring problem

The valve/pip will pop-off by prying a small, flat-tip screwdriver...while you have it all apart, ditch the valve and replace it with The Vacuvin

you mean the valve cap?
wont it still allow air in because of the lose O ring though?
looking at these modification pictures i can see that the wine-vacum is placed over the actual valve and not the bathmate body, that small gap is where the air gets in

hey thx, but looking at the modification pictures i can see that the vacuvin is place over the actual valve and the the body of the bathmate, that small gap between the bathmate and the valve is where air gets in through the O ring

If you remove the valve completely, the VV stopper fits neatly in that space...all you need is a rubber 'O' ring to hold it in-place while it's upside down during filling

There are so many tutorials on this, we need to make them more obvious I guess.

do I hear 'video'?? This sounds like a job for Baldy (if for no other reason than to hear him speak...and maybe drop a UK slang or two)

I don't have a bathmate any more Big, it got lost when I moved house. By the time I get a new one there will already be a video available. Maybe you should do the honours, you're the bathmate king around here.
