You must remove any water that gets into the release valve each day or it will rust and the suction cup will not work. Practicing some simple maintenance will allow you to control how long your Suction Cup will last.

After using your Suction Cup, the release assemblies fill with water. Water seeps in through the airflow hole in the hex nut (#4). The release assemblies are shown below in side view diagrams and are made up of items #3 – #7. If you don’t remove the water at the end of each day, the metal parts in the valve assembly and the rubber seal sit in water, quickly causing corrosion and rust. Once the metal parts rust and the rubber seal becomes soft from sitting in water, the release assemblies no longer function; which means that you can’t get an airtight seal with your Suction Cup and the suction cups won’t stick to windows.

But, you can easily remove the water from the release valve assembly.

When you are finished using the Suction Cup, lift up on the release trigger or release bar (#2), and shake the water out. You can also easily remove the water by lifting up on the release trigger or release bar and gently banging the suction cup on your hand.

You can remove even more water by lifting up on the release and blowing canned air through the valve assembly via the hole in the hex nut(s) (#4). You should see water come out of the hole in the center of the suction cup.

We are working to reduce rust by zinc plating all metal parts in the valve assembly and we have just begun making all of our springs in stainless steel. You can also order our Suction Cups with stainless steel fittings. The fittings are the large threaded insert that is molded into the suction cup that holds the release valve assembly (#7). A stainless steel fitting greatly reduces rust and corrosion, which makes your Suction Cup work for a longer time period.

Rob from StonePro demonstrates how you can restore Granite counter tops. There is NOTHING you can do to damage the stone that can’t be fixed. What most homeowners do is clean stone with water thinking it wont hurt it, but it really is one of the worse things you can do to natural stone. Using Stone Scrub, he removes the hard water stains left behind. After letting it sit for a bit, he uses crystal clean to remove the stone scrub. Using Granite Potea and a variable speed polisher, you buff the granite until its dry. Adding the crystalizer for some wetness.
