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

yes this works well in the reusable pumps and no clogging. it also out cleans dawn. a little goes a long long long way. this is the best dish liquid on the market.

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.

i use this pump to pump out the winter cover for my in ground pool. the water always has small pieces of leaves, debris and baby tadpoles in it. the pump handles it without clogging. it will clog if the debris is larger than a half inch and there is a lot of it.

I have gone through 2 of these pumps in the last 18 months. Works fine with clean water with no debris. Will not handle ANY debris, intake openings are to small and clog up running the pump dry and burning it up. Have tried putting pump in a small mesh bag still clogged up and stopped running. You get what you pay for!

yes u can when the pump starts sucking air it will shut itself off...clogging hardly ever happens either....its a good pump so far for me

I pulled the spout off mine and looked down inside. Soap scum builds up inside the pump mechanism and prevents the pump from resetting itself. I dripped a few drops of mineral oil inside the plunger mechanism, and now mine works as good as new. Another user in a review had good results using Dezcal, a descaler, in his, and apparently it also broke down the scum or deposits and helped his pump work, too. Dezcal is quite useful for descaling all sorts of things. (Amazon sells it in several different packages.)

Ya but you will have to press it quite a few times. And for me it started to leak, and it did all over my desk....so I threw it out. But you do press the pump a few times and the remover should come out. Then you use the cotton pad or ball to soak it 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.

I've used this pump for body oil (almond and grape seed). It only dispenses very small amounts at a time.

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

I have a sand filter. Never had any clogging with the product. Love this stuff!!

I realize this answer is long after the question has been asked, but this may be of value to future readers. I use these for spare fuel to carry in my motorcycle's saddlebags. After I've had occasion to empty them, I refill them using standard filling station pump nozzles. It requires caution, and I have to go slow in order to not overfill, but it does work fine and I've not had any mishaps.

My daughter, how has Cystic Fibrosis uses this to sterilize her nebulizers - quite a few of them - and it works great. But I honestly can;t say how it would work with breast pump parts. She has it in her dorm and has had no problems with it - the best part is it dries the parts after use so they are dry and ready to go when she needs to use them.

Take the filter out and run the pump without it. if the pressure seems right it is the filter. I always clean mine as soon as I take them out but they do start to get clogged after a while. Make sure you clean good between the folds in the filter!

For a cheap temporary fix yes, Problem with using this unit is length of run, and gunk or the occasional debris that would clog impeller. What you save on initial purchase may cost you more if you have to replace it with a pump designed to the job in the first place.

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.

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.

It works like any other foam pump. You can use the stuff made for foam pumps or you can use regular liquid soap and dilute it 1:5.
