Keep on keeping on. Those others wish that their pump would suck a sponge ;~)

been sucking a sponge back in linepumps for over 12 years and I havent damaged one yet,probably what they are talking about is your piston cups do not oil while in reverse thats the only thing I know of and reversing to suck a pig back is not enuff to worry about keep on keeping on

hi, i sometimes suck bak pipes and hoses with my kcp 90h and other times i use air to help it if its a lot of line or down hill, the only problem i see is when you pump the hopper to low so it sucks air , i dont like that noise, i do a lot of refurb work , i dont like leaving mess on the job site and customers like that.i use old sponge out of lounges , its free ,i put it in a plastic bag , its free too.ive got to look after my coin so suck back balls are to expensive to loose, and i always blow water through, a clean line means ive got a good chance of getting it through next job.
