I had a special attachment with my stimvak that you could connect to your vacuum hose, to draw the solution through and prime the pump.
It was a way of extending the life of a pump that was becoming worn, that is probably what is happening with yours.
If you are happy doing that, it could last for a while yet,but a new pump will be needed eventually.
