I have a Titan 24xl. 3 months post op, been happy so far. I am having issues with my pump. When I am deflated and I try to inflate, the pump is rock hard and I can't squeeze it hard enough to move the fluid into the cylinders. I have to push the deflate button even though I am deflated, to start the inflation process. It is getting harder to push and sometimes find the deflate button to push it down.
Has anyone else experienced this problem.
Might be having a pump problem, anyone else

Re: Might be having a pump problem, anyone else
I do not have a Titan - so full disclosure there.
I keep my cylinders pressurized (2 - 3 in the chamber) at all times because I can't stand the feeling of 'dog ears' in my unit as I walk around all day. I have to depress the release valve before pumping for action every single time. I hit deflate for four (4) seconds, wait for maybe another 4 seconds - and go. No issue, I am off to the races.
Keeping in mind that we don't have the same penile host, I understand there is a 'lock' in my pump to prevent it from going soft during fun time. Maybe you have something of the same and are not actually 'fully' deflated and need to 'unlock' before you start. Not sure but worth considering perhaps?
Good luck and keep us posted as this plays out for you.

Hi
As far as i know.
In the Titan OTR, the recommendation is, once it is completely deflated, add at least one pump, to change the direction of the deflation valve, and thus the following pumps will be easier.
If you try, tell us how it goes
