I'd like to know how "Farris (Sept. 28) uses this with the jar sealer. I can't hook the hose to the pump. her review is why I choose this pump.

My unit came as a special from Food Saver. The link below has a picture of it. It's called a container adapter.http://www.foodsaver.com/accessories/130527-000-000.html#start=7

I bought this just to seal mason jars. I just stick the pump over the hole in the mason jar sealer and suck the air out. It works great for a single jar, maybe two. HOWEVER, the battery life on this device STINKS & my wall plug broke in half as I was unplugging it from the outlet - in less than 1 year. Honestly, I'm lucky I didn't get electrocuted. Even without the plug I wouldn't recommend this because of the poor battery life.

This product is excellent!! Works perfect with the containers, no to much with the bags when I use with herbs. I do not try with ham or cheese yet. Hope this help you!

I am not familiar with the hand held FoodSaver, but to use the Jar Sealer you need to have a so called Accessory Hose, which is a thin, clear hose that I can pull from my FoodSaver V3880 model in order to insert it on the top of the Jar Sealer, just like depicted in the picture that shows the Jar Sealer. This hose does not come with the Jar Sealer.

The hose is too long for us and therefore the pump runs instead of using gravity. If we cut the hose so it runs directly into the drain, will it keep the pump from running? Has anyone tried this??

I had small leak where hoses entered the pool. However, I think you are referring to where the hose is attached to the pump. If that's the case I would check the O rings and make sure the coupling is alined correctly with the threads. Sometime plastic threads and coupling can get easily out of alinement during installation. Good luck!

I am not sure what it is you are asking me,but I ordered this Tila Foodsaver hose for my Weston (Live To Cook,Michael Simon) vacuum sealer.This will attat ch to a port on this sealer to use my Foodsaver containers & jar sealers. I do have a hand held Foodsaver vacuum sealer also. You need nothing extra to seal your foodsaver containers. They have this hole on top & you place your hand held vacuum sealer over that & suction the air out.You have sealed the container. My hand held is electric. Hope this helps.

I just used the pump that came with it. I pumped it by hand though, because stepping on the pump caused the hose to detach from the BOSU. It just takes elbow grease and patience. Good luck.

Sorry, I can't help you with that one, but I'd be inclined to say it's time to attach the regular dump hose and save your pump!!!

mine worked just fine, still works. the hoses were a bit different, but if you look inside the hoses that come with the pump there are small hard plastic fittings in side the ends. after removing those the hoses fit right on with regular hose clamps.

Unable to find documentation on pump; you will have to look; I know I had seen the specs before, some where My application is sucking straight out of a tank into a main floor of a cabin... it works great

I don't have an answer for you on that one. I didn't try what you did. The pump worked fine, we are using it as a spare.

I wish I could answer that for you, but we use just the container and empty it for our RV and don't hand the hose connected and do not have a clue where we put it. I'm sorry as I know how helpful it is to get as much info as possible. Good machine!

Yes the hose port and hose accessory will seal mason jars as long as you have the jar sealer to put on the jar and attach to the hose. Can't help you with warranty questions, that is a question for the manufacturer. Also that was not a question, it was a statement. By the way, I haven't had to use the warranty. My game saver bronze is still working great.

Ha! I wouldn't even recommend using it on a Lezyne pump. The original "non-gauge" hose works and fits properly. Mine leaked. Passed it on to a friend who wanted to try it. He had bad luck, too. It does fit that brand of pumps, but not any others. In any case, I am almost certain that it can't be "daisy chained".

according to product packaging it requires one that has the special attachment. However I read in reviews were you could use a hand pump like the ziplock vacuum bags that you manually pump to remove the air and it did work on my regular jars I don't have a wide mouth jar currently to try mine on but since it works on a regular mouth jar if you my ziplock hand sealed vacuum it should work in the wide as well. It was not hard to seal just about 4-5 pumps and it sealed the jar without using an electric sealer.

None of them!! It was designed for a container manufactured overseas (like the unit) and the threads are not compatible. On the plus side, the pump is fully submersible, and the best containers we found are the Aqua Tainer 7Gal (dark blue cube), it has a wide enough mouth that the whole pump drops right in with the hose, cable, etc.

I don't know.. I'm so sorry.. I don't have the jar sealer and I didn't save the box or instructions for this product. I would suggest doing a google search on this particar model. I can tell you though that I'm satisfied with the ease of operation but only semi satisfied with the suction of the item.. It seems it could have taken out more air.. Maybe slightly underpowered, but the price reflects it.

it is used with the food saver machine.. it's the same as the one for the wide mouth jar only for the smaller mouth jars.. it fits on with the same hose as the wide mouth jar sealer..
