Hot Water Pumping

Hey…does anyone thinks its safe to pump in a tub of hot water?

I did it when i was ball-pumping…no problems and in fact it was very very easy to seal without any lube or shaving. Plus it kept circulation a little better.

Only thing to remember is if you have a gauge on your mityvac or whatever, if water gets into it it rusts. Water doesn’t hurt the pump itself, just the gauge.

Later

Can somebody explain better all the water pumping
routine, and which pumps can be used with water
(lapdist for example?)

Is water better to prevent damages?

Can somebody create a video for pumping?
Thanks

My pump came with a ‘rubber ball squeezy pump thingy’, and the gauged pump was an optional extra.

I used the gauged pump for the first time with water very carefully to get a feel for the Hg reading, then used the cheapo pump from then on as it has no rustable parts.

The main benefits I noticed were

1. The hydraulic method had a much more firm response than pneumatic
2. Condensation/visibility was never an issue
3. Nice and warm for a while
4. Getting a seal was easy
5. No lube required

On the neutral/downside:

1. No way to keep the water warm unless in a bath
2. A lot of hassle
3. It didn’t seem to do much that air pumping didn’t, except perhaps slightly less edema

I’m not a frequent pumper though, as I haven’t found any benefit (maybe I should transpose those two word groups?)
