Purging air from hose

Difficulty pruging air from hose; I have a 4qt opentop with 6 ft

of silicon tubing. I have a very slow time of getting the air out

of the hose. Have to raise and lower bag many times to purge.

BUT using my can with std. drugstore type tubing(which is smaller

dia.) I don't have this problem, it purges quickly.

It takes a bit to get the air out of the hose at my house as well. I have to keep the house at a certain range to get the air ahead of the water. Then by opening the valve and adjusting the hose I can try to keep the water pushing the air along. I have a clear hose so that helps to see where the water is and then to watch as the rogue air bubbles get sent to the top of the water.

I hang the bag, and then hold the nozzle higher than the bag and open the clamp. The water in the hose will seek it's own level, namely the same as the water level in the bag. Slowly lower the noz until it just starts to dribble, then close the clamp, insert the nozzle, and enjoy.

I agree with Diane. That method always works.

To be helpful hang the bag high enough , open the clamp and let flow the fluid in a bottle , when the air is away , refill the bag with the bottle .

What you can also do is to place the clamp at the output of the bag where the hose begins .

Never forget it is better for you that the bag is never higher than 15 / 16 inches than your belly button when filling up your bowels .

Caresses and strokes will help you to take more without cramping , and if they are very hot , the liquid will go deeper inside you .

What works for me:

I use closed-top HWB style syringes.

fill a stadium cup with water.

Place one end in the cup.

Open the valve.

If it is YOUR OWN enema, you can use your mouth, and simply suck water through it, until you feel the water in your mouth, close the valve.

If the enema is for someone else, then you have to use an ear syringe, or similar. Squeeze the bulb, put it in the end of the hose that's not in the water. Open the valve, release the bulb, close the valve, and repeat until you get water in the bulb.

On an open-topped bag, it doesn't actually matter, because the moment you open the valve, that little bit of air will bubble out the top of the bag.

GREAT suggestions here, BUT are there any with respect to how to purge the air from a colon tube. I find that MUCH more difficult.

It isn't any more difficult.

Connect your colon tube to the hose and then follow what azdiane said above. No problem, it works all the time.

Like said before i hang my bag from the shower curtain and place the nozzle in the tub and open the clamp to remove the air from the bag
