Fleetwin, your advice makes perfect sense!
Yeah, mine had the grooved grommet. I like the idea of installing it so the tube sits right next to the power head, and will do so.
Although it will only see about one week a year in salt water, (if I’m lucky), and unlike my dear / stubborn father I will flush it after each salt use, I’m happy to take steps to avoid future grommet failure.
Appreciated!
Alan
