These units have thick rubber or some times almost lie a gasket material inside them that creates the suction along with a piston. When you get these units please let them warm up to around room temperature or all of them seem to not want to start up right. The rubber or said material must get real stiff in cold winter temps. Ive noticed this with brand new and used pumps of every manufacturer so its not just a certain brand thing.
For anyone buying vacuum pump from me or anywhere!!!!!!!!!!

its for degassing or racking wine. If you do a search for vacuum pumps I am sure you'll find plenty of information. Feel free to ask any specific questions. Welcome to the forum. Are you currently making wine?
With one of these you can rack degass, filter or even bottle your win e without ever having to lift your wine up off the ground again as you can rack up hill and degas our wine without a sweat and know your done because they have a vacuum gauge on it.
