I have a question on how to use this. Is the suction activated when you push in on the plunger, or when you pull back on it? Thank you!

You push in the plunger to get suction, and be sure to clean up as instructions say, it really does matter.

When you push it in. See YouTube - http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=FOWxt8Mgs94

Feed the plunger up from the bottom, then attach the spring (from the top) and finally screw on the black handle. When finished dont forget to slide the red rubber guide into the slot. Without the red rubber guide the cherry pits will not separate from the cherry. It works great but not 100 percent. You may still find a few pits left.

Hi,I have never had to remove the suction side but, I do know that you release the bar suction by turning the metal cover over the suction mechansim. There are arrows on the metal cover showing which way to lock & unlock the suction. Hope this helpa. The bar I bought has been attached to a glass shower for over a year & a half and has not showen an signs of letting go from wet towel weight.Have a great day!!!!!!!

hi I have never returned an unclean plunger to it but if I had it would be simple to clean in a utility sink. I just wouldn't want those germs in my face wash basin though it would be simple to wash even there. Its ultra lightweight and fully open. Think of a coffee mug broken open.

Release the suction by pulling the lever to the up position, make sure the surface and the suction cup are free of dust. If the cup doesn't feel sticky rinse with warm water (dust is sticking to it) let dry. Pick the spot place and lower the lever. Done.

I have not been very happy with this plunger and much prefer to the HD Plunger. The RR Plunger appears to be the wrong size and shape for my Toto toilet. But - it has no moving parts, just a strange handle that allows two handed pushing and a sort of prong inside the rubber suction bell, which I suppose is intended to prod or break-up anything solid it encounters. I could never quite make it develop the sort of suction that would cause the water in the pipes to churn back and forth, something that came easily with the HD Plunger. If RR had any special secret instructions for making their plunger work magic, they kept them secret from me. I have not been very happy with this plunger and much prefer to the HD Plunger.

Not sure what the question is. How is it attached? Simlpy follow the directions and screw the hose into the attachment on the base. The flow of the water then creates a Venturi effect and creates a vacuum that sucks up the debri from the floor of the pond. How does it work in terms of " does it work well"? The flow of water from the hose has to be very strong. For me, a regular garden hose carrying water from a regular faucet, did not provide enough vacuum power, so the suction was very poor and did not work for me. The force of the vacuum was too weak to be effective. I have mine collecting dust sitting in my garage. Not sure what the question is. How is it attached?

All you have to do is place the base of the sucker firmly against the nipple to create a seal, and then twist the easy-grip control cap to create immediate suction. Enjoy a light sucking sensation or twist the knob further to create a serious vacuum. Just turn the cap backward to return the internal plunger to its original position and release the suction when you are ready.

Sorry... 'don't know why your unit lost suction cause mine still works fine. Per all the other previous feedback left about this product concerning suction issues, perhaps it has to do with the little rubber band on the hand unit. I would check that first. Good luck!

I had the same problem but I also was aware of it before I bought it. I think it is just the force of the suction that pulls the dirt out and it may just be a problem with the bottom filter loaders. My solution is to use the remote to place the unit near the shallow end and pull it up to the sun shelf. I place it there and then remove it. In essence I incrementally pull the unit out of the water. That's what works for me.

mema666, i think the issue would be how hard you thing is sucking. i have not seen my do this. maybe test the pressure that is being sucked up?

Honestly, I hold it the other way around if I am cleaning the derriere. It works well for me. Sometimes I don't aim it properly and get a bit of water all over the backside but no biggie. Just dry it off and go. It works well but get into the habit of turning off the water valve when not in use. If there is constant water pressure on the hose... It will bust after a few months. Happened to me but they sent me a new right away.

I usually have the tub about half full then get in and attach. Are you firmly pressing each little suction cup? Seems to me that some cups are submerged and some are still out of the water when I do it. Perhaps a quick wipe of the area with plain vinegar to get rid of any old oil or soap scum might help. I love the thing!

I am not familiar with the Kohler model you refer to but this plunger works by moving a column of water back and forth to dislodge the blockage. In order for it to work you must allow it to Fill with water and then work it back and forth without breaking suction. This works for me much better than the old "cup" type plunger since it moves more water per stroke. It is not effective for removing foreign objects that bridge the vacuum loop on the toilet. My experience with this type of blockage is having to remove the bowl and shake out what ever is causing the blockage. I am sorry I couldn't be more helpful.

You can push or pull. I was doing both. I had my 1 year old in it and he loved it. Works great.

I have had my aero-press for nearly a year and a half and use it daily. It will loosen with wear. I barely have to push on it at all for it to work now. It was stiff in the beginning for me too. It does considerably help for the plunger to be wet.

The suction cup has a lever, once you place the device where you want it, flip the lever down for a secure hold. The lever looks like a handle, but it is actually there to push the air out and assure a tighter hold.
