Yes, it's a lot thicker than the original that comes with the SoClean2 unit, but here's the problem! It's so difficult to put on that when it's taken off the humidifier and needs to be refilled every other day, there's just no getting it off! Then when I try to put it back on after filling the tank, it's just as hard to put it back on. I ended up calling SoClean directly and ordered the original hose which works much easier and the original hose lasted me a year and a half.
