Does the SoClean 2 still use the lame, fabric tube over the hose as a gasket (as in the original) or have they come up with a better approach?

Guess I'm a relatively new user of this product. Mine has no noticeable cloth connection of any kind. Compared to my original cleaning routine, I remain very pleased with my SoClean. It has been almost nine months of use by me and still no complaints. Hope this helps you.

There is no fabric anywhere on the SoClean. My husband loves this machine. It does a wonderful job.

The SoClean2 does not have a separate hose, the hose seen in the illustration belongs to the CPap unit itself. Check YouTube video to see how the unit operates.

It has a rubber gasket. The side holes for the hinge wire are too big and not in the right location. Seal is not tight, these will leak air!

no gasket that I recall..fit right into bayliner 192 starboard side like a glove..sounds better than a scooter horn.

The rubber gasket is for the older design fittings and is available from Amazon: Nelson 50339 Hose Quick Connector Washer Set. The newer design uses an o-ring for the seal along with a regular hose washer. A good replacement o-ring is a 70 durometer Buna-N with 16mm ID x 20mm OD. I bought 10 off eBay for $3.89 and they work much better than the original. Use a little silicone grease at first. My original o-rings lasted a week ... these replacements were used daily all summer and are still OK.

Yes, it has a nice rubber gasket (O Ring) on the screw in top. I am guessing if over the years the gasket gets old it can be replaced by going to Ace or some other full service hardware store as it looks like a standard size. I had the cheaper "drug store" holders before but like this one a lot better. It is thinner and the circular machining on the tube body make it look much nicer that the other ones.

I don't know if this answers your question or not but you can use the python with or without the gasket (the little rubber thing) depending on your sink

My SS model actual has an staingless steel covering over the plastic hose. It's solid, very flexible (more so than on the plastic version of the same device this replaced) and is still lightweight.

Yea I used hose peices off my old filter as cheat easy fix.. have to clean filter weekly though..

The simple solution is to use vasoline on the filter cover threads, that will allow a tighter fit and make removal easier. We do the same thing on our pool pump leaf trap and pool filter. The leaking stops once the housing is tightened. This is an excellent product. Like any product, learn how to use it. And it goes without saying that you must have the gasket in the proper position.

Only thing I might suggest is to contact the manufacturer on the internet. I have had luck with other product parts replacement doing this. AS for this item: I have not had the gasket fail to date.

Your only other option is to replace the entire hose bib; a pain if it's a frost proof version. They can be had at any home center complete for less than you paid for the anti-siphon unit you are referencing. The replacement project isn't a big deal...all you need is a wrench and some Teflon tape plus whichever bib you need to buy. Good luck. I too have had a few failures with this model!

Yes, it is a gasket. The canister it self can come out. Then the old gasket can be pulled on and it comes right out. Then run this one around the bottom in the groove for it like a rubber band. Very easy!!

Trish, this model does not have the rubber gasket. It does come with a rubber band type of object that is made for securing the lid during transport. I have not used the band so I can not comment on how well it works.

The S9 is for use with a heated hose. It fits on the black hose adapter with the connection for the small black tube that goes into the actual SoClean machine. It can be tricky the first few times, but after a while, it's easy. I take the tank hose and connectors, except the S9 Adapter, and wash once a week. Buying a water tank that can be disassembled for cleaning.

Hello,Elaine my dear. You could contact the mfgr.,or do what I did. I lived in Ms.when I gpt mine,and used it almost daily walking to my spot on this pretty creek. I called it Eden,it was so beautiful! (Got bit by a water moccosin there too-there are snakes in Eden)! Anyway,I about wore the tip out,so I went to Wal-Mart and bought a rubber Stryker tip for a crutch. (Cane size is too small). Then I filled it with Permatex Ultra-Blue gasket maker-waterproof-and let it set over night. Still have that same tip on it,three years later. Oh,the little deal that keeps it from sinking in? Leave it on. Hope this helps you,Elaine. Thanks for letting me help you. Steve

Ya have to buy the stopper. I never heard of a gasket you can replace it with.

I'm sure that would work, but it isn't necessary; and I think the friction on the outside nut helps keep it tight. The gasket and flush side go on the inside and the nut and hose/pipe side go outside to tighten the gasket. Of course, you can also have threads inside the flush(gasket) side if necessary.
