What does the S9 Adapter do? Does the hose go inside it to be sanitized? If you leave the straps on how soon would they need to be replaced?

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.

The DAP I bought is still working for me. I have replaced the same type of "GREEN" hose I bought at Bed, Bath, And Beyond 4 times (all in warranty). I gave up on using them and bought this one. I have my fingers crossed that it will survive much longer....................

I just used the hose and rinse it off yesterday, then let it air dry. But I can see if it gets really dirty, simply putting soap and water in a bucket, swirl it around, rinse, and air dry.

I got this to replace my Summer Escapes 12' x 36" pool and the hoses did not fit on the pool (this new filter's hoses were smaller than the old filter's hoses). I went to HD and got a couple of plumbing gizmos (they are rubber hose adaptors) and attached the old hoses to the new hoses and it works just fine, no leaks. These adaptors are made of black rubber and have hose clamps on them...they cost about $4 each so a total of $8 more. The new filter works great!

Slight changes will not effect the system but big charges will. When the pump runs dry for several seconds the system sees this and will shut off. Things to keep in mind, prime the pump before you start vacuuming by turning it on for a few minutes before stopping to attach the hose. Make sure you are in speed three or four while vacuuming. You should also have a filter bucket with a bypass adjustment for your vacuum. This help the pump not run dry before you get water in the vacuum hose. Hope this helps, any other questions just let me know. Thx Geoff

The bucket can be used as long as the handles are intact. You wash it really well. Because this is for your trash shoot, unless your doctor is specific about cleaning, just wash and rinse out the bucket, then rinse with vinegar and dry after you wash the soap out. The plastic is plastic. These were used in hospitals. You got to take them home with you if you had to use it. The clamp isn't very sturdy. I don't like a slide clamp, they leak. You can buy a better clamp for the hose at a hospital supply store or even at some pet shops. The tubing can be replaced with aquarium tubing (if you want good maintenance). The soap can be substituted with any soap. For years I used bar soap, Ivory or another gentle soap. If you are set on complete sanitation in an area that dosen't need it, buy fleet enemas.

You're catching on, Ian. If you consider "long term use" as somewhat longer than 90 days, I have a pair that burst after two years. A "Warranty" isn't of any value and strictly limited to the replacement of the failed hoses within 90 days, not the thousands of dollars in damage their burst hose can cause. Read the warranty's small print that specifically denies any and all responsibility for "... "Incidental and Consequential Damages", unless your insurance company sues them, of course. Nice, eh?

I have had my pump for over a year and I always disassemble it before storing it in my gear bag. It works well and I am happy with it. I think it would take a strong blow to break the gauge off. However it only takes a few seconds to unthread the hose and store it.

The hose attaches through a quick connect/ release. So should be able to replace.

Hose? Its like any other stroller, material, plastic, etc... I wouldn't take it apart to clean it, but it can be wiped down.

I used mine to purge my tankless water heater. I placed the pump in a bucket, used a washing machine hose to hook the pump to the heater and then another washing machine hose to run from the heater to bucket. Filled the bucket with vinegar, and let the pump run. My kit did, however, bring another hose and adaptor that I have never unwrapped, so I really don't know what it is.

A word of advice though, when you put the hoses on make sure to put some kind of oil on where you attach them, it makes it much easier to remove them if needed. Also get new clamps especially if they look corroded.

The hose itself is pretty thick. I've only had one go bad because a rock from a lawnmower hit my hose. It was easier and less hassle in my opinion just to replace the entire thing.

We've had ours for about 1 year and like it BUT we just noticed black rubber bits coming out of the faucet! I talked to Delta and they're sending out a new hose free but I asked if this was a known issue. The customer service rep said "yes, but it's very rare". I've been in engineering/manufacturing for 20 years and asked if they made any improvements to the hose and he said no, it was just a certain production run that had this problem. It's gross though since we drink quite a bit of water and I don't know how much EPDM rubber my family's consumed.

It works with the S9, but you still need the white piece that clips on to the top of the filter to lock it in place in the water tank
