Goldie Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 Just recently my shark II filters have been sliding down the glass. It seems that the stick has gone from the sucker thingies. Has anyone got any suggestions or solutions?? I have had them for 3 -4 years without problems. The rubber is sound seemingly. I have thought maybe roughing it over a little however hesitate in case I ruin them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Caryl Posted December 22, 2002 Report Share Posted December 22, 2002 They have to be smooth to seal properly. Have you cleaned the glass they are stuck to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ira Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 I haven't found a suction cup that DOESN'T go all hard and unflexible and lose its grip within a few months. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
john1 Posted December 23, 2002 Report Share Posted December 23, 2002 Hi Some suctioncups are better than others. The one on my heater ist the best I've seen or ever had. Stick my draining hose between heater and glass. Never came off. Would need a knive in order to get it off. Even sliding it is very difficult. There you have it. It depends a lot on the material and how good it is made. John Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
