Yeah, according to this review, it is a patent issue, plus a few other limitations.

Here are the instructions. It also says they give you a lifetime warranty, and assume that covers the suction cup.

My concern is that the suction cup material may become brittle over time, and if/when it lets go, would not be a pretty sight in your tank with a 2900 gph flow pump dangling on a cord.
