This item does not use a pump. It uses a suction. If you will be staying at a hotel or motel, or are just having a meeting at one or an office building, and immediately returning, maybe you could see if one of the cleaning people (they use vacuums) has a hose attachment and you could use it. You will need something with enough strength that will pull the air out to compress the holders and it should take a very short time to do it. Now, if you really get into a bind, the only thing left would be to sit or stand on the filled bag, forcing the air out and screwing the closure tight when you think most of the air is out and the bag and contents are "squashed" as small as it can get. I THINK I know what you mean, reversing a pump to pull OUT air, but I have no idea of one like that. Maybe including in your luggage a small, strong hand held vacuum with a removable tip, you could plug in, even in a car lighter receptacle on the way to the plane (or one just using a charged battery) before boarding. I hope the methods I offered above might help you. Have s safe flight.

You don't HAVE to have one, but it would certainly help as it needs a lot of air. The valve is small and you can blow it up by mouth if you need to . I bought a low-priced electric pump at Big Lots...it came with a couple different nozzles one of which worked fine. I'm sure you can get one at Walmart or Target too. (or Amazon!). Have fun!

I also have a Reynolds pump and so far they have not been compatible. I have found that the small Ziplock hand pump works great and is easy to use. I also like the Ziplock bags better

You'd have to contact jw pet Co. I don't see one listed but everything has a 30 day return on in nowadays. I never returned mine. I look at it as a cheap gamble if it works, great. If it doest its really not worth the hastle of returning.I recommend the luft pump by corallife. Its 54.99 but the best air pump I've ever had and the power output is adjustable not the air flow like all the other pumps.

I've ordered this product and now need a short hose to connect to my manual vaccum. I think it needs to be "male." I can't seem to find one. Any suggestions?

I was lucky enough to have access to a refrigerant vacuum pump and as the system was almost empty I pulled it down to about -30lb and made sure I did not have any measurable leak down over a couple of hours. Filled the system with the 22A and it's been running great for the last couple of months. I would recommend evacuating the system if you can so you don't have two unlike gasses in there.

I just replaced mine. It's fairly difficult, but I sourced the hose from ebay. Look for AIR TOOL PUMP REPLACEMENT 18 INCHES PORTABLE. It cost me about $7

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 just took ours to a local vacuum store that carried the brand; it was also where I bought it from but that shouldn't matter. Would have to find a shop that sold them however. Better find one though since you will need to take it in any time it gets clogged due to poor design...(can you tell I didn't like ours?...)

Vacuum pump only...not a very good purchase....I would buy better quality if I were to buy another one.....

Call Hydrofarm. I tried to find parts for a smaller HF airpump that finally quit but none are available. I was able cobble up a replacement diaphragm for it then ordered the same model you have. HF warranty and links to HF should be on Amazon HF listing somewhere.

An air mattress pump works best. But I have an air compressor, that we wrapped a washcloth around the nozzle to fill. As it is not meant to take a standard air compressor nozzle, this worked best.

I purchased an adapter from TCP Global (Airbrush depot). I used their hose which came with the pump and the adapter part number ABD A-Paasche or you can get the whole set of adapters (4) ABD A-ALL. Suggest you buy more than one.

Any pump that you would use to blow up an air mattress, I think should work ok. Not sure on this.

Most vacuums will work as long as it has a hose attachment. I have found that if you open up the flap and push down you can get most of the air out. I took mine on vacation and that's what I did to repack them.

We had the oreck (model) but after 2 weeks my wife said it was too loud, like jets landing on the house. Go to oreck website and look for the manual for your vac and get that bag.

You really need a pump. My friend had one at the lake house where I left this. I'm talking about an electric pump. There are some that plug into the cigarette lighter on a boat that are ideal. It doesn't take terribly long. I cannot comment on using your lungs to blow it up. It would take a long while.
