I have no way of knowing when the PC is full of water, so I don't know how many times I should pump my soaker. Please help.

it will sound relatively quiet throughout normal pumping, and when it's done the pumping will get very hard and will make weird loud noises. but it depends on the blaster. my cps 4100 takes about 18-20 pumps. oh yeah if its an xp or max-d it won't (at lest mine Don't) make weird noises. check the box and it'll tell you the recommended amount of pumps.

If you did not freeze the check valve then it should make a noise and be a bit harder when pumping when it's full. That is the extra pressure leaving, freezing the check valve keeps the pressure in, so it doesn't release it and doesn't make noise.

or you could freeze the check valve like I just did, then you can pump it as many times as you want, within reason. (don't want soaker shrapnel in our skull now, eh?)

You can pretty much ignore the times on that, I rarely ever have Xfire on when I play. I should, though.

I was thinking of cutting out a spot on the PC and put a clear peice of plastic to see how much it really expands...
I don't check this forum anymore.

not really worth it considering how much you'd have to sand it down so it wouldn't pop the p/c.

You can see how much your soaker's PC expands by using the gun without the PC case on. I've done it several times before, nothing bad will happen, or at least should happen if you are smart.
