Installation & Safety Warnings
- Replacement Interval: Peristaltic tubes are wear items. Replace every 6-12 months or immediately if the tube appears flattened or brittle to avoid motor damage from leaks.
- Chemical Handling: Always wear [Safety Gloves and Eye Protection](https://www.google.com) when handling dosing lines connected to pool chemicals like Liquid Chlorine or Acid.
- Seating: Ensure the tube is centered on the rollers and not twisted during the pump head reassembly to prevent premature ruptures.
Pro Tips
- Primer Check: After installing a new tube, run the pump in "Manual/Prime" mode for 30 seconds to ensure there are no air bubbles being drawn through the 4x6mm connectors.
- Fittings Check: If the pump is spinning but not moving liquid, check the connectors on this tube. Over time, [Nylon Fittings](https://www.google.com) can crack or pull loose from the Santoprene.
- Calibration: Since new Santoprene has higher elasticity than old, worn-out tubing, recalibrate your [pH/ORP Controller](https://www.google.com) dosing settings after replacement to ensure accurate chemical delivery.
