hydro pump evaluation

I live across the ocean from the US, so I’m not sure how can I get that part Modemmer was talking about.. I think I saw something in ACME pumps website that can be shipped, but it is more expansive, maybe 65 dollars or something, is this where you got your water pump from?

Yes, that is what it does. As you pump, some of the water gets into the line and is sent to the reservior- which is located just before the actual pump. At the end of the session you just unscrew the plastic cup and dump out the water. I have gotten several ounces in there when I am sitting at the computer pumping, so it would need to be a pretty large container. If I had to guess, mine holds about 8 ounces of water.

Yes, I bought my whole pump there. I would hope for 65 dollars you get the reservior and the pump- everything but a tube…

Just email mityvac on their website or look on their links page. Maybe one of the distributors listed is overseas :)

I’ll do that.

OK, I noticed something else today. I can pump at a higher pressure with no discomfort in my glans than I can dry. Maybe it isn’t normal to have head discomfort under pressure, but I experienced it dry but not wet :)

Do you use plain water? I’m wondering what effects, if any, a solution of epsom salt would have.

I have been Hydro pumping on and off for years now in a bath and in the spa .As long as your penis and chamber is under the water there will be no air in it.There is no need for a pump as you can suck on the pipe .Suck the water out and put your tounge on the end of the pipe ,spit the water out ,and repete.Remember that for every bit of water you extract it has to be replaced by blood into the penis as there is no air in the chamber to create a vacumn

I am just using water. I will let someone else try the Epsom Salts :) In theory it should decrease swelling- as long is it was only the ‘side effects’ fluid I would try it, but I am not sure how it would affect the CC and CS.

myeight- that sounds like a lot of work…

Well, I got into the tube today and did my first hour long hydro pump. I have to say the results are great…

First I had no skin irritation at all. Also there was no discoloration and the pump I got was about 25% better than dry.

I will be pumping hydro from now on. I was very careful not to get water into the pump, and it was not hard at all with a non hydro pump.

Modemmer.

Ahoy- and welcome aboard the good ship hydropump. I am glad your experience is positive. I would say the only advantage to the reservior is that you can get a bit distracted and not have to worry about your pump- but I do agree it can be done without the reservior :)

Ya, that was the only thing I have to say about using a non hydro pump is the inconvenience.

My reservoir will be here in no time then I will be able to relax while I pump in a nice steamy bath. :)

I have done the bath a few times. Avocet will be mad at me when he hears this :) but I found I was able to stay comfortably in the tube with no discoloration or discomfort for over 30 minutes as a newbie pumper. I had no problem going 2 sets and just relaxing in the tub. When I do it sitting in front of the computer, the water cools more quickly so my pump is only 20 min or so :)

Well, thats a bit long for anyone let alone someone thats new to pumping. It just takes that one session to cause an injury. I don’t stay in the tube more than 8 minutes anymore, and the pump I get is just as good or even better. The lack of oxygen to the tissues is not good and can only hamper gains. Just take care, and you don’t really have to go that long.

Modemmer.

avocet8 never gets angry. He assumes that guys new to pumping will do their experiments and learn from their experiences. Since you are doing water and many of the rest of us are not, you can teach us what is generally tolerable in a water medium and what is not.

Sheesh! Here this dude is sitting there lolling in warm water and the rest of us are pumping away in an air environment.

Never mind. I’m happy with air: I just wish I knew what water felt like. :-)

2in2002,

Be careful staying in the tube too long, especially when using water. The only time I ever got blisters from pumping was when I stayed in the tube too long using warm water. There is a tendency to use a higher pressure, because the water masks some of the intensity that you would feel pumping dry.

Under water in the tube, the view of your dick is a little more distorted, and you can’t visually monitor the accurate effects of the pump on your dick. Early on in my initial pumping experimentation, pumping using warm water felt so comfortable. I was unaware that too much pressure and too much time in the tube was making the skin of my glans much more thin and delicate, resulting in the blister happening.

When the blister eventually broke, it was a real pain in the ass when healing, since any underwear or clothes contact made it very uncomfortable. Fortunately, after about a week or two of healing, everything was fine, and I’ve had no future problems since. But I learned my lesson.

Warm Water Pumping + Too Much Time + Too Much Pressure = Water Blister
