    does anyone know where i can get a replacement rubber O ring between the collection cup and body?  somehow mine has disapeared when dumping the cup and i think my dog got ahold of it before i knew about it cause i can't fine it.  i found a place that has them but shipping is 3 times as much as the O ring /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/sad.gif.  i found out to that it wont run without it i guess, cause since i've tried to run it it automatically over flows now no matter where i move the output tube or anything....

    Is it just used to hold the collection cup in place? If so, a rubber-band can be a quick fix until you find an O-Ring. hell, it can even be a permanent one /DesktopModules/ActiveForums/themes/_default/emoticons/wink.gif

    Ah, too bad... I have  CPR BakPak and the O-rong just kind of holds the thing in place. I was at Menards yesterday and for some reason I passed by the O-Ring section... they have plenty of sizes to choose from.
