Can the pump be removed from the bottle? It drives me crazy when the product gets low and the pump cannot get the last of it out of the bottle.

If you have a pair of really good scissors you can cut into the bottle and get the last bit out. It takes some work, but can be done. I have done this a few times, and have gotten a couple more days out at least.

I have managed to get to the rest of the product using a small mallet. I place the dispenser into a new clean ziploc-type bag, wrap that loosely in a small/thin towel, place this on hard surface (my basement floor), and hit it with the mallet (usually 3 or 4 blows does the trick) until the container breaks open enough to safely get to the cream. I store the cream in an undamaged bag in a cool place and away from light. I get an additional 3 or 4 days worth of cream this way.

I never tried it, but I'm almost empty on one bottle, I will see what I can do.

I supposeYou could always just cut off the top/bottom (like when you're low on toothpaste) and store in an air right container. Granted I have never used the product or know how strong the bottle is, but it seems like a practical solution.

I believe the product needs to stay in the pump until used as it will degrade when exposed to air.

Yes, I took the bottom off with my nail file, then pushed the underneath pusher up to dispense the rest of the cream that actually wouldn't come out of the pump, saved into a clean plastic jar with a lid. I've been using this product for 16 yrs and never had to remove the bottom, always had a perfect dose dispensed every time, but there is always a first time!

You can't remove the top off once it's sealed. You have to pop-up the lid again to remove it. I have quite a few of these and haven't experienced the issue you mentioned with them.

Make sure you don't squeeze the bottle when you put it in so you don't create a vacuum the machine can't overcome. Take the bottle out and put it back in without squeezing it and see what happens.

I have been purchasing the product for years. I did have one bottle with a bad pump. I have found on some bottles it does seem like you have to make several pumps to get it to work.

Yes, I have the same problem. I then heat some water and set the bottle in it for awhile. I try not to leave it to long. I don't want to damage it. I hate having to do that.

This top does not come off. I tried to remove it, but all it did was keep turning and turning around. Perhaps I was not strong enough to get it off, but I was say that this would not be the perfume bottle you should get to pour some into a small atomizer.

It sounds like you have a defective bottle. It should easily squeeze out of the bottle.

I just looked and I don't think it can be taken off. It is attached to the actual lid of the bottle that screws on and off.

I haven't had a problem with this. The bottle is usually empty, or very nearly empty, when I go to refill it. I just unscrew it and refill, but I'm always refilling with the same thing, my foundation makeup. The pressure isn't really powerful. I wouldn't think it would squirt out when you went to unscrew it, even if it was quite full. Hope this helps.

You would remove the plastic bottle that contained the sealent along with the filler tube, discard that and replace that part only. The pump is NOT disposable.

The glass bottles and the plastic bottles have different size pumps. I keep both on hand but it is annoying.

the bottom shelf requires that you pull it out to get the bottles out. the other ones do not. sometimes the bottles stick if you have a bottle that is thick at the bottom.

While I Haven't tried it, it looks like it can be unscrewed from the bottom. The tube would then be removable for cleaning.

Yes but be careful to keep water in the bowl. Also remember that you will need to clean it about once every month or so which isn't much. Anything with flowing water can develop a bit of mold. If you have any difficulty getting it to start back up after you clean it, that's normal if the pump hasn't had water in it for a bit. But yes, you can remove the water bottle.

Hi Trinta, Great question. Thank you for asking. Sometimes during shipping an air lock can form. Simply tip the bottle upside down and shake to remove air lock. Once the air lock is removed the pump should work fine. Sorry for any inconvenience. We are committed to 100% customer satisfaction! Continuous use of Opus Elite has been giving our customers amazing results!

I really don't think the probe can be removed form the bottle. That seems like a question for the manufacturer. Sorry I couldn't help more.

just unscrew the nozzle from the bottle. It may not go back on once you remove it.
