Does entire tube have to fill before single plug pushed out? Isnt that more difficult than pushing one plug through at a time?

The bottom of the tube is slightly narrower than the rest. The last plug you cut will be wedged in. All the others are loose. You can cut one or two, or fill the tube. Your choice.

Yes the entire tube must fill before plugs start exiting to top. No the effort isn't that great IF the soil in relatively moist/not compacted If you're using on hard clay etc. it will take good effort.I think the tube is tapered larger from bottom to top to make the plugs flow easily too.

No, you can take out each plug individually, although they will come out more easily when there are a number of plugs in the tube (not necessarily the entire tube, though). If you want to take out each plug separately, you might have to shake the tool a bit more, or use a stick to loosen the dirt.

Just do what is most comfortable for you. It will depend on moisture, etc. You more or less shake, not push.

"Do you have to do something special for the gauge to work?"Yep. You do have to do something special. Return the pump. I'm assuming that air is actually getting into the tube?

I have two of the inlets plugged off. I would see no problem removing the other two plugs and have having all three inlet used at the same time. The pump seems to pump plenty of water. All three inlets are the same size. I used pvc piping for my inlet. Just reduce or increase the size of the piping once you get near the inlets it should work. Hope this helps.

There are four eye screws at the bottom to remove the interior assembly. Then there are two push in plugs to remove the tube from the interior base. It would appear that you only need to push the two plugs to remove the tube but for me the plugs failed. I had to remove two more screws from the bottom assembly to get to the plugs and put them back in place.

Yes, but, as I've mentioned: it's a hassle. I would recommend using MONSTER plugs, they're a bit more, but save you so much time!

I have found that a heavy duty tubing cutter does the trick. Cut on the indents and it leaves a nice edge to put the plugs in the top. Make sure you cut off from the top :)

No. It has a regular plug. I have found that I have to get a new pump every 6 months or so, despite cleaning it thoroughly. It just doesn't hold up well in providing consistent flow and it gets clogged up super easily. I also found that it can be difficult getting the tubing to stay on and it also gets clogged easily. Seems like a lot of maintenance for a simple pump!

All of the tubes have to be plugged into the blowup parts. Insert batteries and turn on pump...it will take a long time to pump them up. If they don't stop pumping before your feet/ankles/legs start to hurt, push the down arrow until the pump stops. It should cycle on/off if it's working correctly...I sent mine back for a refund...my feedback on this product is on Amazon.com.

Tom, You will have to cut the tube so it works properly. That is what I had to do. Thanks Karen

I purchased an inexpensive pump that you plug in. Otherwise.....you will probably pass out trying to blow it up yourself!

The plug is actually elevated so the water does drain out on its own without being tipped. Ive found that a little of the water does stay behind and you will have to tip it to get that last little bit of water out. Overall, the drain works really good without tipping the tub

They come out by rubbing your fingers against them & you will see which direction you have to rub it for them to come out full size. It is hard to describe but it is done to protect the plug. It should go back (in hiding) when you take the plug out of the wall after you are done.

The top intake tube has a shut off valve. However, u still have to take the outake off by the tube. Which doesn't hinder to much. Shut the valve off. Let it pump what it can off back into the aquarium, And just take the tube off into a bucket for any run off. The next size up from this one, I believe, does have quick releases for the tubes and power.

Nope, you have to pop the threaded inserts out using something like a broom handle through the other end of the tube.

The plug should be put in the spout before you pour the liquid into the cup. The spout is located so low on the cup, the liquid will enter the spout and go up as you fill the cup. The plug prevents the liquid from coming up the spout and spilling out.

The contents of the tube should squeezed out easily to be mixed with the contents of the can. I had no issues with my tube. Make sure you squeeze the tube starting from the bottom end then working your fingers towards the top. The contents from the tube should flow like toothpaste.

The plug fits extremely tight. You must force it in. It is becoming easier to put in and out with usage
