suction cups

[dead wait]

Where can I buy suction cups for my powerheads? I guess mine are wore out. They stick for a little while but then fall down.

[sunkenmetal]

What model powerhead is it?

[dead wait]

You would ask. I can't even begin to tell you. Lets just say, it's made in another country. I guess I need to get the name before I can get help. I'll get on that.

Try the boiling water method. Boil up some water> throw the old suction cups in the water> let sit for a min or 2> try it see if it works. Worked for my jäger heater

Thanks cuOngsayz. I was really hoping someone would have some sort of fix. I'm sure i'm not the first person with this problem. There has got to be a way to soften them back up.

[cu0ngsayz]

Yea. Boiling water is my friend.

[dead wait]

Does it soften the rubber.

i thought boiling makes it harder but never tried

[cu0ngsayz]

yea it makes it soft. but if you leave it out too long it will get back to the hard level that it use to be so try and get the suction cup on to the tank when its soft.

yep, boiling, microwaving works every time.

It helps squeeze the last bit of life out of them.

[cu0ngsayz]

yep!!!! asian people try to get every dollar out of it before we throw it out hahahah

dont fit your white tees anymore? we turn it into rags lol
