How to water pump with any pump setup-no Bathmate needed

I posted it on another forum in response to a request and it was well received so I thought I would share it here. I’m not sure if anyone has posted this kind of instruction anywhere, so pardon if it is redundant information.

If you have a standard pump with a gauge and any cylinder you can try this. No need for an expensive Bathmate or water trap setup, which is more complicated. (Bathmates are still fun toys for the bath tub or hot tub as you can submerge them, but I don’t find them dependable for an actual PE session since there is no gauge and little pressure control.)

Water pumping has the benefits of heat (hot water in the tube) and counteracting subcutaneous edema on longer sessions at higher pressures, which hopefully leads to easier or faster gains.

If anyone has any pointers or better ways to do this, please feel free to post below. I’m still learning like everyone else here:

The steps:

1. Fill tube with water as hot as you can safely tolerate. DO NOT attach the pump yet. Be sure the valve is clicked to the closed position so water doesn’t leak out.

2. Stand in the shower or bath, get an erection and stick it in the tube. Water will leak out as you do.

3. Press the tube against your body so no water leaks.

4. Sit down and point the tube up. Attach the pump and hold it above the level of the tube. This prevents water getting into the line.

5. Pull the tube away from your body and let enough water leak out the bottom to create several inches of air at the top.

6. Push the tube against your body to stop the water running out.

7. With the tube pointing up and the air at the top start pumping. Be sure to keep air next to the valve.

8. If you pump up to near target pressure and there isn’t any more air then release vacuum and drain a little more water out the bottom. Start pumping again.

9. As you expand through the session the air gap will decrease and might not be enough to get up to the target vacuum level so repeat step 8 as needed

10. Get a big dick!

Troubleshooting: If you notice your gauge needle jumping back and forth as you pump you have water in the line. Disconnect the tube, let the line hang down and shake the water out. If you’ve pumped water into the pump itself you will have to shake that out, too.

CAUTION: the dynamics of water pumping are different than air pumping. Your vacuum will increase VERY QUICKLY. You won’t need squeeze your pump very many times to get up to the target vacuum level so as you pump watch your gauge closely until you get a feel for it.

Hope this helps. Good luck!

That’s pretty much what I did.

Worked best in a bath.

Question 1: How can we get this moved over to "more cream" section of Thundersplace? As always tD you are my hero and thank you for the well-written posts.

Here is my description of how I water pump. I never have leakage. Water pump is my preference, I can’t do air pump. Never over 20min a day, never over 10hg. I use C-ring on balls to avoid balls going into cylinder. The reason I recommend the following is that bathmate has no gauge and you don’t know how much pressure you are applying. I’m not anti bathmate, I’m just saying if this is your first time pumping you need to know what pressure feels like.

This is from my other post:
1. I use LA PUMP, with longer tube, and gauge I recommend getting a 1-inch longer cylinder than recommended so you get more water in there. If you buy a mityvac you won’t even have to worry about this.
2. I recommend 2 cylinders, one that is recommended and one size up, go back and forth as needed. The right size one should in theory help with length and the bigger one girth. You do get a different feeling pump and I recommend both. Right now in a week, I am doing 3 sessions with 1 3/4" cylinder and 1 session 2" cylinder. This is just a theory to push for length over girth but see what works for you.
3. I use coconut oil for parts of the D that touch the cylinder and never EVER go past 10 Hg, no benefits. Also, I don’t recommend anything over 20 min a day. You could break your session into (2) 10-12 min sessions if needed or do the 5 x 5 x 3 for girth. Or do the gradual pump exercises explained in other posts.

This is from another post I made with a regular pump, if you use a mittyvac you won’t need to worry about water getting into the pump:

Always warm up, I use RED & NIR PAD for warmup but you could use MOSRED as well.

I do water pumping not standing or in the tub but sitting on the bathroom floor. I fill hot water in the cylinder only (the gauge and tube is not connected) (maybe 3-5 inches of water) and leave some space in the cylinder, I now know the right amount of space to fill up, I leave that to the side standing up, then get as hard as possible, be on my knees, point the D downwards get the cylinder on, and then sit down, with just your hand pressure you should get no spill, the water goes down and the air is all on top and then connect the pump and start pumping the air until the water gets to the tube extension (I have a 2ft tube?, longer than usual so water doesn’t reach the gauge even if some gets into the tube), after that you can sit or stand whatever. I don’t stand because if there is an air pocket it touches my dick and I don’t like it.

I have a routine that I never get the floor wet and when I place it in and out I get no spill. I can’t explain it but you will find the gear and style you like. So like many here, you find a way to not get water everywhere, and even if there is a bit of spill it’s nothing an extra towel can’t handle. I’m so comfortable now that I could do this on my bed, I don’t have to stay on the bathroom floor.

In the future, I will def get a bathmate when I am done with my PE growth and then to maintain pumping for life, but right now. I need to know the gauge and cylinder size difference, I am seeing what works for me and my gains best.
