Does anyone else have a hard time keeping this connected to the pump? It falls out so easily on mine

Yes, I had that problem, too. I didn't find a solution - just had to rest it on the floor and cradle it with my feet.

I had no difficulty with mine. You want to moisten the opening in which you insert the pump with Vaseline and when you insert it straight on their is a puncture like then you start pumping. If this doesn't help your pump may be bad. Good luck

I just wiggle it and move it and pull hard. So far that has worked for me just fine. Twist it around. In my drain it can feel stuck but with some wiggling and moving it comes out. Good luck!

I had the same problem, i've only had it 3 months and started popping out. so I started to hold it in there manually with the plastic tip and then the hose broke off the adapter entirely. Would that be covered under warranty? I love this thing, just disappointed that my water pressure is to strong and caused it to start popping off.

I agree. It's been a while since I used mine but I was thinking it was hard to pump making the setting of an exact pressure rather difficult.

This may help. I've discovered a Stop Line just under the white pump assembly on the cap that tightens down on the bottle. If you loosen the cap all the way, it slides on completely and allows the pump to seat better on the bottle. NOT loosening it enough caused the problem some of you are describing. Loosen all the way, drop the pump on bottle and tighten as usual.

Did you try taking apart the little pump? The casing pops right off. Cat fur gets in there and impedes the uptake of water and decreases the flow rate. The only other thing I can think of is changing the filter. Mine works great. I've never had any problems and I have 4 cats. They love it.

My top, the end with the little funnel, comes off as an assembly with a quarter turn to the left (lefty loosey - righthy tighty). As Lionel says, the assembly is glued, although my funnel slips off (not glued). There is a rubber seal that may be the reason yours is sticking so tightly because I've had a similar problem with whole house water filter that wouldn't unscrew due to a tight rubber seal.

Please send me an email at Teia11@PacBell.net and I will send you my phone number. I have used my pump for about six months, and I'm very, very happy with it. Sorry to hear you are Experiencing installation challenges.

Mine was a little tricky too but I just unscrewed the whole top and when I put it back I tried twisting the pump around again and it popped up and started working! I really didn't do anything special though.

It takes a few tries lol I freaked out too! Shake really well and just keep working pump it will come out I promise! I hope you love as much as I do!

I did not have that problem, but it was a very close. After tightening it compressed the metal tube so now it is easy to attach. You may want to compress the pipe slightly. Just a thought.

I have found that my Ameda bottles pop off my Medela pump if I screw them on too tightly. They still work, just don't try to screw it on too tightly.

Wish I could help, but mine leaks also. It's as tight as it will go and still water dribbles out. I have to add water to the pool every week which is a pain since we're on a monitor and having a drought!

Mine falls off so easily that I am lucky I keep it in my pocket. Also, I don't get to use it much because the batteries are always dead. The slightest pressure turns it on, so you can't keep it tight enough to stay together. It's not much use held together with tape. If it is supposed to have an O-ring, I guess mine is missing. I am going to try the Energizer Micro.
