Hi. For some reason just lately my air line keeps coming away from the pump. Its driving me mad. I go out or get up in the morning to find its come off again! Ive used the same piping and pump before but since I Started recently using it again it wont stay on. Does anyone have any tips to stop it coming off please. |

trim the end of that goes on the pump should be ok then. |

Oh ok lol. That simple! It had just been trimmed when I 1st put it back on to use and this was when it started coming off. Should it be a straight across trim or at an angel?? |

as long as it goes all the way onto outlet doesnt matter,if this fails maybe ya got wrong size tubing andrea |

Ok thanks. Dont think its wrong size as its same one I used before and it didnt come off. What peeves me off is when i put the tubing on it took *** ages to get on then it keeps coming off  lol.
Will trim it and see what happens, thanks. |

Pop the end in a cup of hot water before trying to put it on, this makes it more supple and easier to put on |

if all else fails, try warming it in boiled water to soften it before putting it back on, it should dry tight as i am presuming it is pvc tubing and not silicone ? |

nettyd - SNAP!! |

lol, nice timing linda |

Well not sure what happened but its now decided to stay on. If it happens again I will try your trick netty, thanx |

Well it stayed on for a bit then started coming off again so I did what Linda and netty said and warmed it in boiling water, placing it back on and it drying tight. Its worked really well so thanks for tip |
