Frequently Asked Questions

Q1)  How tight should we make Dump Buddy?

A1)  Dump Buddy has been tested to handle over 10 pounds of holding force.  This is more than enough for this application.  Dump Buddy should be snug around the base and when tightening the top button, you should tighten down until the foam touches the top of the plastic elbow and then just a little more.  The goal is not to tighten so much as to dislodge the lower strap.  If you have done that, you have tightened too much.  Remember, the purpose is to hold the elbow in place to absorb the initial impact of the draining waste.  It is also a good idea when fastening the lower strap to push in as you turn the knob so that the foam padding compresses.  When you lock the mechanism in place, the foam will expand creating additional holding power.

What Customers are saying!

I had an issue with getting the lower strap fastened to the pipe firmly.  I reached out to Dump Buddy to ask for assistance.  They called me back in about 30 minutes and before they called me back, I figured it out.  User error.  Tech support was great, and we had a good laugh at my expense.  Now that I know how to use it, it has worked as designed.  Thanks for following up so quickly.  Satisfied Customer
