Sucking/gurgling Sound
Hey men, was just wondering if anyone is having the same experience. During my last few pumps getting up to 100% (and a little when first deflating), I get this new sound. Best I can describe it, is as a gurgling noise, like when the last of the water goes down ur shower drain. It's a sucking/gurgling noise; and I believe it happens as the pump RE-fills. Its just started maybe a month ago, and I'm about 3.5 years implanted as of now. My immediate thought was that I may have leaked some fluid but what do I know? I also cringe at the idea of the pump having an issue bc I do love the thing and get a helluva lotta use out of it. So if anyone has an insight, reply or msg me. Appreciated much. Thx to my bionic brothers for all the insight, dialogue, ideas, mentoring, etc.

Re: Sucking/gurgling Sound
I haven’t had the experience of having the last few lumps make noise. Mine it’s the first few pumps.
When you say last few, last few what? Before you reach flat bulb and the pump bulb won’t refill anymore? Or until the pump bulb is hard as a rock and you can’t pump any more?
Maybe there is a little air bubble in the system and it’s only when the fluid level in the reservoir gets low (because you have pumped so much into your cylinders) that the air gets drawn into the tubing/pump and makes a gurgling sound? Perhaps.
I don’t think you have a leak. You would have failure pretty quickly if that is the case.
I’ll be interested to hear what others have to say.
