8.4 How to Replace the Pump Tube
The pump tube assembly will eventually break if not replaced. The tube has
been designed for a minimum service life of 500 hours. However, the life
of the tube is affected by many factors such as the type of chemical being
pumped, the amount of back pressure, the motor RPM, temperature and
others. The pump tube assembly must be inspected and replaced regularly.
