Many of you that have a Bathmate have seen the videos showing how to clean the release valve. I'm going to tell you how to clean the whole spring assembly. If your Bathmate has been loosing pressure or little air bubbles keep coming in your Bathmate, then this will most likely be of some help. You'll need a couple items. A 2 foot piece of 1/2" inner diameter PVC pipe, an electric drill, and a 5/8" drill bit.
Now this process means you will have to break down your Bathmate, so if this scares you then go to another thread of interest. If you want you Bathmate working like new again then by all means keep om reading.
Inside your Bathmate is a rubber "O" ring that holds the spring locked in place. In order to clean it you will have to push the assembly out. Once you have the three items required you can start. First hollow out one end of the PVC pipe with the 5/8" drill and drill bit. Then squirt some soap inside your Bathmate, X-40 or X-40, and push the spring assembly out with the non drilled end of your pipe. Once it's out clean all the parts and rinse the soap out of the body of your Bathmate. Now you have to reassemble the pump. Leave the end cap off and put together the spring assembly. Drop the "O" ring in and line it up with spring housing. Now use the drilled end of the PVC pipe the push the "O" ring back on. That's it.
