Does using the pump with the Slime once completely deplete the canister of Slime? what if the wife hit something that punctured 2 or more tires?

I haven't "tested" the unit using the Slime, but I understand that once used, you replace the Slime cartridge. It's a great little compressor.

This is a tube that is fill with "slime". It will seal an small punctures by itself. I ride in areas with a lot of rocks and my bike was out in the sub zero temps all winter. The tires are still full of air. Good tubes, just wish the rubber was a little thicker.

I just ordered this cart so I can't say much about tire durability for this cart, but I have a lot of long-time experience with outdoor equipment with small pneumatic tires. Almost all have gone flat eventually (some sooner, some later) whether stored indoors or outside. I've found that Slime Sealant is an excellent solution for flat tires of this type and as a preventative for new tires. Amazon carries this product and it's also available at bike shops and at some big-box retailers.

Yes, you can use it to inflate a low tire. We use it without the Slime all the time, just as an air pump.

Sorry, after reading your reply, I determined I was talking about a totally different product. This has a pump which works reasonably well until the bottle is almost empty. After that, you can smash it on the ground and wipe up what's left. I'm being facetious, but mine quit pumping when the bottle still had about an inch of product left in the bottom. I did break it and salvage what was left.

Regarding slime sealant, it worked well on my lawn tractor and wood trailer. follow the directions on the amount of slime to use, it does work. I would not want to use it in my pickup tires for on highway.

The pump sure looks exactly the same. The only difference is the bottle of slime tire sealant is included in the bigger zipper case (with a re-sealable nozzle top for that bottle). I'm ditching that bottle & going to try to fit a tire plug kit in instead.

This was exactly my application and the Slime tube works fine. You do have to hang on to the valve stem so you don't lose it. I could not get the tube and stem to line up so my valve stem is not accessible since I inflated the tube and promptly lost the stem (inside the tire and wheel). That was a year and a half ago and the tube has not lost any air.

yes I have tubed tires just take out the valve with valve tool squeeze half the bottle of slime into valve and replace valve

yep until the level on each container are equal. If I left the end on the pump is on ground level, the drum will be empty in a matter of time. If you transfer the liquid in a 2 gallon, the works will stop when the level in both container will be the same. I use it to transfer liquid from a bigger container to a smaller one and by experience, the few liquid left in the big one is easily pump out in a few strokes of the pump.

Either try another outlet if you have one, or start the engine before you turn on the slime pump. I had one that was so powerful that it killed the engine ( amp wise). This slime pump IS powerful, but maybe try a new 15 amp fuse.

I've only used the back part once or twice but yes, I did use the pump to blow it up with no problem. If I remember correctly I just used the the attachment included with the pump to fit properly.

Yes, you do remove the valve stem, add the Slime then reinstall. Only issue I had with the product thus far is negligible - my bicycles have presta valves (different than your regular car tire valve). Presta valves can leak if they are clogged with Slime - happened to me, but spun the wheel until the valve was at the top then let some air out and filled with air again. No further issues at all.

Did it work for you? I have the same issue, broken back side of the canister vacuum. Was thinking of using this epoxy to fix. Would appreciate if you can share your experience,ThanksDevinder

I'm not sure what the weight difference is but I would say that it's definitely an insignificant amount. As far as the goo or 'slime' spreading evenly; I can only say that since replacing our standard tubes ( 3 bikes, two Townies and a Miami Sun three wheeler) with the slime tubes we have had no flats in the last year. Also, I typically ride for at least an hour and have felt completely confident in my tires handling the ride each time.

it is my understanding the purpose of these tablets are to control algae and slime buildup, however i'm not certain what how these tablets will react with your condensation pump. I do not know if your pump actively processes/eliminates condensation buildup and will the tablets cause damage to the pump. I place the tablets in the HIVAC's air handler's condensation tray to treat the standing water to prevent the algae/slime buildup to allow for proper drainage. suggest you first check with the manufacturer on what methods can be used to control the slime buildup to prevent any damage to your pump. it is my understanding the purpose of these tablets are to control algae and slime buildup, however i'm not certain what how these tablets will react with your condensation pump.

I have had that happen. It took care of most of it, but I did have to open the pump and remove some string, etc from the blade. It was not fun, but not difficult to do.
