I have used this product in the tube and love it, my question is has anyone had problems with the pump getting stopped up since the gell is thick?

I have not had a problem with the pump bottle. There has been no clogging ofProduct. I use the gel everyday and love it.

No. Not really. It works great. I have used a safety pin to clean it out every now and then but have never had it where it was completely clogged up.

My husband used this everyday and has used up about 1/5 of the bottle, so far no problems with it getting clogged up.

I watched a Youtube video and the lady put Vaseline on the impeller and it got quiet. Not sure how I feel about it,, but hey to each their own

Perhaps you don't have a tight fit with the tubing you have. I haven't had any problems with mine. Good luck, I hope it works out for you.

i didnt have problem on my vanicream when i first twist/open the jar. it should extend up & stay.from there you can just pump when you need to get cream.

I have never had that problem. How is your salt level? I find that for my pool size I have to run it an hour longer than suggested each day during the hot summer months here in Texas. I also use the brush very thoroughly while the pump is running at least once a week to make sure I don't get any algae growing on the walls or bottom of the pool.

I never bought it with the pump. When I do buy a product with a pump, sometimes I would have the same problem. Did you try pushing it down while turning it to the direction to open? I hope this helps. If you tried everything, then it could be the pump that is defective. I've had that happen too.

I only find this problem when I don't pump enough so then I pump more and it's fine. Although through trial and error I did find a long spray works better than a bunch of little spurts. Hope this helps

Our pump has worked great. We only had a problem with it once. We were filling up water balloons and i noticed the pump was getting hard to push and pump but it turned out to be screwed on incorrectly and it was pushing the straw too far down that it was hitting the bottom of the pump. After taking it off and put it back on correctly, it worked without a problem.

I did not have this problem. I did cut off about 1 inch of the tube to make it fit inside the bottle better. Perhaps this made a difference.

Hi, I have never had a problem with the pump. I would say that it was an isolated issue which happens with most products. Mine works incredibly well.

Hmm... We've refilled ours several times without issue... Does the pump portion work (i.e. go up and down) but no soap comes out? Did you try emptying it and adding more water to the soap and water mixture? May be possible that the soap mixture is too thick...

We had no problem pumping ours up. Used the same electric pump we used for our air mattress.

Depending on how long you have been using the machine the tube could be stopped up with dead skin cells, but I know I have read a lot of reviews where people had this problem sometimes within a 30 day period. If this is the case I encourage you to contact the company ASAP because I know some people were complaining that they were very upset because they would not make good on the product. Good luck.

I do not have that issue though. I purchased for underwater usage and it works fine. I think for some people that not work might be due to the seal of the wires into the pump. Double check before you use it and put some silicon or hot glue to secure it if that is the case.

I personally have not had the problem you describe. The tube I have comes out with a proper consistency, and I'm able to get a good lather from it.
