Boston LGX has no relief valve

Boston rep got back to me today. No relief valve! Pump up hard and pump bulb gets hard. Wait 60 seconds for things to expand and it may take 2 more pumps. Do this over and over till pump bulb is hard. If you are getting more and more easy pumps, you are stretching or you have a problem.

I wondered about the LGX. I was told that the AMS 700 series CX does have a relief valve. It's why my 'stretching routine' works with the CX. I don't continue pumping anymore because I don't need to. About 30-40 pumps and I'm ready.

I think this new rep is WRONG!! Before Rich retired he told me that it did and that's why you can pump over 100 pumps. I have pumped as few as 10 and as many as 40 :)

My MS pump gets rock hard and no way to pump any more. If I wait several minutes for things to even and stretch a bit I can force tiny additional pumps in and feel burning from stretching. I do vary the number of pumps but I think that has to do with how much I was deflated and how full or partially full the pumps are.

I always understood the AMS device to have a max. pressure release valve. I even remember a figure of 240 or 250 psi quoted.

I spoke to the AMS rep yesterday for over an hour. She is going to check it out with the engineers and get back to me. I will get the answer to this question if it kills me. :)

Larry,

Did you ever get any info on this from AMS?

ATTENTION EVERYONE
A while back (maybe a month or so) I posted a message from my Boston Scientific Rep a very scientific explanation about the AMS that basically said that it DID NOT have an overfill valve. Can anyone please link me to it... thanks :)
