    Any one have any ideas how to keep the suction cups from slipping off and the power head from falling. About three months ago I replaced 2 old power heads with new large maxi jets and it seems that every so often Both will let go at the same time :mad:

    I have the same problem...what I did was went out and bought better suction cups from Home Depot (larger clear ones) and put at least one of them on each power head...they seem to hold MUCH better than those small little black ones!

    Friend of mine buys cheap magnet cleaners and epoxies the powerheads to them....they stay up and can be moved easily! ;)
