Does this work well in reusable pumps, or does it clog them?

yes this works well in the reusable pumps and no clogging. it also out cleans dawn. a little goes a long long long way. this is the best dish liquid on the market.

Not sure about reusable pumps, but sometimes the top requires scraping off to get it to flow again. It is like the soap solidify's some on the very tip, but it does not do it all the time, maybe a couple of times a week. Not a real problem for me.

Yes, in my opinion the permeate pump is durable and works great, the clamp that holds it is somewhat durable but, use caution when mounting it so as not to crack the plastic!

i use this pump to pump out the winter cover for my in ground pool. the water always has small pieces of leaves, debris and baby tadpoles in it. the pump handles it without clogging. it will clog if the debris is larger than a half inch and there is a lot of it.

Never had a problem with the nozzle clogging up. Just have made sure the bottle stays upright. Have used it several times on different projects over quite some time.

Have had this system for 9 months and clean it out weekly. So far no problem with pump. Are you using the filters? I clean them out also, that way they last a little longer. The other answers seem to cover cleaning in better detail.

I have not cleaned my pump out after using and I use it for gasoline transfer. So far so good.

I bought a simple half gallon pump sprayer from Home Depot that is dedicated solely to the Deer Stopper and never to be used with any other sprays. I've not had any problem with clogging.

I always drain mine after use so I prime it each time. However, if you are using a closed system with a check valve and the pump never runs dry then it probably would be finen.

The only time I experienced what you have described was when I forgot to clean the filter once. The slimy black stuff is disgusting slimey mold. If you clean your pump housing and pump regularly I do not think you will have that problem.

I aven't ot a clue! I wondered te same thing. I guess we will just have to contact the seller, huh. I find that the pump intake clogs up frequently. Calls for a lot of cleaning. I love it though.

Mine works great. I think it works best between 30 and 40% full. Pump it 20 to 30 times.

I have gone through 2 of these pumps in the last 18 months. Works fine with clean water with no debris. Will not handle ANY debris, intake openings are to small and clog up running the pump dry and burning it up. Have tried putting pump in a small mesh bag still clogged up and stopped running. You get what you pay for!

It never "clogged" for me. The plastic is cheap and the top slide snapped in half. I didnt have it for more than a night. I was only using it as a prop for a costume.

Probably not. If cleaning it fixes it, I assume you mean cleaning the impeller, and it will work until it clogs up again, my guess is, based on the iformation you have prvided. The problem would be that the pump is not designed to pump what ever is clogging it. If it works after it is cleaned out the switch would be operative.

Well, sometimes you have to take the pump apart and clean the gook & slime out of it. It is the same with all the pumps. It is not hard to do. That makes them work again.

It is produced as a liquid soap dispenser, so the consistency of the liquid is really the issue. If you used something more water-like in viscosity, the pump might not work as well. You wouldn't know until you tried it. Of course, if the liquid shampoo or conditioner or other types of liquid soap used were of a very high viscosity (more like molasses), then the pump might clog. We had a kitchen liquid soap dispenser where we had this problem - we bought liquid soap we thought the pump would use, but it was too viscous and the pump did not work correctly. I'm sure this applies to the pump in this product.

So far I have pumped about 4 bottles of Jordan's Skinny Syrup through mine and so far have not had to clean it. I had another pump a couple of years ago that needed cleaned and all I did was pump warm water through it, cleaned the nozzle right out and of course the rest of the pump too. pumped it dry a couple of times then put it back in syrup bottle and it worked fine.
