About how many pumps do you need to get the click-click sound after one glass of wine has been poured? I just keep pumping and I"m not getting a seal

I would surmise the more full the bottle the fewer pumps are needed to attain the click sound ... with just 6 oz of wine gone you might only need one or two pumps ... the more wine in the bottle the less oxygen is being extracted ... hence fewer pumps. You might be getting the click on the very first pump with an almost full bottle. Hope this helps ...

Three to four. On a bottle that is only 1/4 full it takes about 7. Try rinsing the stoppers in hot waterand see whether that helps. Remember for a seal to take place the rubber stopper must fit the bottle and can not be loose. Hope this helps.

Hi , I had similar expience when I first used. Need to insure you have seal w rubber cap. Shoud resist w half a dozen pumps.

if the bottle is almost gone, then way more pumps. It depends on how much you drink. You will know when you hear the clicks... the pump even tightens up before..

Thanks, but I'm not talking about the clicker. The newest model (came out about 3-6 mths ago) has no sound at all with the clicker off. The older version does have a soft clicking sound even with the clicker off. Just trying to find out which one these are before buying. Thanks.

At first you have to give it maybe a dozen good pumps. If that doesn't do it, check the hook up on the bottle part of the unit, or the handle trigger. Took me a few minutes to figure it out too!

It could be one (or several) of many things. Ensure the cork is placed firmly within the bottle neck, make sure they is a proper seal between pump and cork, perhaps check for any imperfections on the bottle that might cause a leak, and when in doubt, try it on another bottle with a different cork!

Hold down the button. You may need to press it multiple times. When holding down the button you should hear the buzz. (The buzz is a loud sound caused by air escaping from the chamber when the pressure gets high enough.) Also be sure you have the bottle screwed in tightly.

The corks are straight not flared. If you can push it back into the neck of the bottle then it's not a tight seal and you'll see the wine flavor changed. There are wine cork machine you could use to recork the bottle, but that's another $20 or so and have to be reworked every time it was opened.

3. 1 pump, 2 stoppers. A great gift to any wine drinker or to even people who serve wine to others.

I would recommend a champagne stopper because of the very problem you are encountering. Champagne stoppers catch on the ring of the bottle's neck to prevent them from flying off. I learned this at a wine shop.

Have you fully degassed the wine? If the wine isn't degassed, it will not clear. Give it a little stir, if you have bubbles stir until the bubbles stop, wait a week, also try warming to 75 or cooling to 40 sometimes it just takes a temperature change.

I had the same problem as David. After opening two or three bottles of wine I was never able to get enough of a charge to open a bottle. This thing was useless and it was a gift so I did not return it. I just threw it away.

The same thing happened to me with the first one I had so I eventually got another one and it works great. It clicks after only a few pumps.

It will stop every so often but it does run a lot. I returned mine because the wine was not any good after a couple days. It did not seal it well enough.

Make sure you are pressing hard enough on the carbonation button. I had the same problem with mine until I realized I wasn't pressing it down all the way. Try two firm, short bursts. You will feel the difference in the pressure on the button when you get it right.

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.

Unfortunately, I have the same issue. The wine sealer does not fit with all bottles. Sorry, I was not any help.

Make sure the spray bottle is pushed all the way down. It clicks when it is in correctly. If there is still an issue get a replacement.
