Does this work well in reusable pumps, or does it clog them?

Not sure about reusable pumps, but sometimes the top requires scraping off to get it to flow again. It is like the soap solidify's some on the very tip, but it does not do it all the time, maybe a couple of times a week. Not a real problem for me.

This is just a vacuum head, so it all depends on your pump's power. But sand shouldn't be an issue even for a weak pump. It will clog your filter quickly though.

Yes! Even if it clogged, I believe giving it a bit of a shake is all you would need to do.

I don't know. I found that it is very important to pump fresh water through the pump every time it used, the soap will clog the pump if left to dry!

I just refilled one of mine recently and didn't have any problem. I wonder if soaking the pump action portion in hot water with a little vinegar might clear any soap build-up that may be clogging the mechanism.

I don't either. Just works from the cycling of your pump cycles. Never had a problem with it. Been using it for years

B. Conner:Thanks for letting me know. Like I said, I'm sure it will work (how much power dies it take to run a small pump?) And if I use rechargeables, I don't have to worry about leaking alkalines.Again, thanks for the info.

I haven't had any problems with the pump and has been working great. Sometime I need to clean out the dispenser area where soap builds up but that is all. Sorry I couldn't answer your question.

Well, sometimes you have to take the pump apart and clean the gook & slime out of it. It is the same with all the pumps. It is not hard to do. That makes them work again.

Make sure you mix a bit of water in with the raw soap. If you don't you could clog the pump.

We've had ours running continuously since we bought it two years ago. Never had any problems with pump clogging we have it in line with a Fluval canister. Honestly though a common Pleco does the best job on keeping your tank clean from algae if that's your problem.

I just bought my third one which I use in a small fountain. Sometimes it does need cleaning. Check to see if something is stuck inside the pump. Otherwise contact the manufacturer or go to their webpage. Usually customer service can answer questions online.

I use "The Dispenser III" in the shower. Sometimes a clog will form if you don't use a particular dispenser for a week or more. But I find I can just wipe the nozzle with a washcloth and the pump is strong enough to pop out whatever plug remains - not wasted as it lathers up on the washcloth anyway. I've been using those dispensers with Dr. Bronners for years and years.

The pump, in mine at least, seems to suck up most of it, while the snail does the rest. If you use the Tidy Tank once a month, it dissolves it and it just feeds the plants.

That is how I use it. SteveI actually used in front of my bigger filter to save it from constantly getting clogged up.

You can try it, but my guess is that it will jam up the pump pretty quick. I would suggest that you try it w/ the filter in there first to see how it goes.

The pumps are terrible. If one works thru a whole bottle, do not, I repeat, do not throw it away. Chances are very good you will need it.
