Harry! You are EVERYWHERE!! Many thanks. I only want to get a longer one to allow to help rinse the whole of the bath when cleaning and help get around the fish tank when being cleaned also! :p Thanks

Hello All. My hose is leaking so time for new one. But I would like to purchase a longer one. The present hose is 1M and would like to get a 1.2M or 1.5M hose Would this affect the pressure flow and ultimately place unwanted stress on the shower unit (Triton Cara) please? Regards,

Hello and apologies. Been ill. The machine is up and running now. I siliconed the two halfs and added 20 nuts and bolts including Harry's idea of crown washers around the drum. There was a small leak in the drum resealing but I think now the silicone has properly cured the drip has appeared to...

Just a side issue. When taking the machine apart, I noticed rust down the inside of the frame (now fully treated). The fill inlet rubber hose connecting to the outer drum was leaking. Will the Silicone 825, I am using for the outer drum reseal, do the job of sealing the fill inlet rubber hose...

I have ordered the three items via Amazon (reluctantly) and hopefully be here tomorrow. Everwhere else was days/weeks. Time will tell. Thank you for your continued support. ;)

And why not?!! Only kidding. ;) I fully appreciate all that you have done for me. Very helpful. Just a shame I am so close but yet, so so far away (and the Ukrain is far away)! I am very tempted in getting the 12.5 bearing seal and see how it goes. I can't wait for the Ukraine part plus it...

Aplogies, the reason being when trying to find a seller of the 17.5, Hoover came up with a bearingset that was compatible with my machine and other Hoover similar to it, it stated the 12.5. And like I said when opening it, there was no protruding lip and you stated the lip would be showing...

why would it wear away. Surely that would be a pointless design? What kit is there that has a 6206 2RS, a 6205ZZ C4 with the 12.5 seal please? Struggling to find it, yet I found one not so long ago please?

Thank you Harry. So, back to my whole concern is the bearing seal. When I got open the outer casing there wasn't any lip on the bearing seal. So I am wondering if the bearing seal is the standard bearing replacement kit with a 12.5 bearing seal.

Apologies, I thought I already posted images of the bearings. The larger bearing does have black 'walls' but the smaller doesn't. The larger bearing has 6206 2RS on it and the smaller non black bearing has 6205ZZ C4. More apologies as sometimes the images don't load with a 'server fail' message.

Putting the bearing seal to one side, what would the definitive bearings to purchase be please?

Yeah, sorry about that. I tried my best not to deform it but it was impossible, otherwise I will still be trying to remove it now! :LOL: But when I finally split the outer casing to get to the drum, there was any protuding lip from the bearing seal. That I do remember. As it stands, the...

Doing yet more more diiging and Google AI suggests it is the 12.5 seal I need. See attached image... Even more confused now.

Thanks Harry for your continued support! (y) I am confused as some of the images clearly states 12.5 (see below for both, showing 12.5 and also 17.5)! I presume when inserting the seal, the extended lip part will go in first and sit inside the large bearing? When I removed the drum there was...

One bearing seal I have found is here but it didn't look like that???? Rolf Bearing Seal Weird, that on the website's images, one side states 17.5 whilst in an other image it states 12.5 which is common with alot of other seals and bearing sets I have seen that are close. HELP!! :eek:
