To open a Heritage shampoo pump, you need to ensure it's screwed on tightly, then firmly grip the collar and twist the pump counterclockwise while pushing down.
Unlocking a new pump dispenser on a shampoo or conditioner bottle can sometimes be a bit tricky. For Heritage brand products, there's a specific method recommended if you're finding it difficult to get the pump to pop up and dispense product.
Step-by-Step Guide to Unlocking Your Heritage Pump
Follow these simple steps to open your Heritage shampoo or conditioner pump:
- Check the Base: First, make sure the pump is tightly screwed onto the bottle. A loose pump can prevent the mechanism from engaging correctly.
- Grip the Collar: Firmly grip the large white collar of the pump with one hand. This collar is the stationary part just above where the pump meets the bottle neck.
- Push and Twist: With your other hand, gently push down on the pump while twisting it counterclockwise. Continue twisting gently; you should feel or hear the pump head release and rise.
Here's a quick summary:
| Action | Hand 1 | Hand 2 |
|---|---|---|
| Initial Check | Ensure pump is tightly screwed on | - |
| Opening Mechanism | Firmly grip the large white collar | Gently push down and twist counterclockwise |
By following these steps, you should be able to unlock your Heritage shampoo or conditioner pump and begin using your product. This method leverages the internal locking mechanism designed to prevent leaks during transit.
Sometimes, pumps can be stubborn. If the initial attempt doesn't work, double-check that the collar is being held firmly and that you are twisting the pump head itself (the part you push down) counterclockwise while maintaining downward pressure.
