Hard bulb

[Jamie123]

I have a coloplast Titan sometimes the pump is very hard and takes some time and pressure to pop . Is there any way to overcome this as it can be very hard to inflate . Thanks.

This is a known issue with the Coloplast pumps unfortunately. You're right that the only solution is to squeeze hard until it "pops". It happens because the inflate/deflate valve gets stuck in the "deflate" position. You can read about the issue here: https://pubmed.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/25260446/

to prevent it from sticking in deflate position, always squeeze once after deflation to move valve to inflate position.

Hi so are you saying once I’ve deflated I should squeeze you bulb once thanks

Yes. Definitely add one or two squeezes after deflation. And, know that the bulb gets easier to press. For me, it was somewhere between the 2 - 3 month mark that I could finally pump with one hand.

Be patient!
