kraig Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Here's a simple but effective mod for your powerheads that keep falling off because the suction cups are worn out or not strong enough. 1. Go to a drugstore or hardware store. 2. Buy some new bigger suction cups. 3. Cram them in the slots/holes with a screwdriver 4. Sit back and relax knowing your powerheads are secure Link to comment
neanderthalman Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 Great idea - can we get a photo-walkthrough of this one? Seriously though, I'm going to pick up some of those for my maxijet. After two years, it just wont stay stuck anymore. Link to comment
Llamaguy Posted April 5, 2006 Share Posted April 5, 2006 i found that i had to clean my cups and the glass to get the slime off, otherwise it just falls off after a few hours. Link to comment

Yeah, but over time the plastic of suction cups degrades and they become stiff which leads to little or no suction ability. Link to comment
kraig Posted April 5, 2006 Author Share Posted April 5, 2006 I first went to a LFS looking for the suction cups, but the kid that worked there tried to sell me 2 new powerheads, said mine were "worn out". Yeah, right. Total spent on the cups: $3.15 Great idea - can we get a photo-walkthrough of this one? Seriously though, I'm going to pick up some of those for my maxijet.
