When this thread started, I tried my water bed aspirator with a vacuum guage. 
I only got to 15 inches of vacuum and it had a nasty habit of injecting water
down the vacuum line.  Maybe mine was bad, but one should be cautious about
these cheap devices.  they are definitly far short of the fancy lab grade
