Figure 29 Pump Tube Loading

Section 7

Note: To extend the life of the tubing, rotate the pump tube 90 degrees in the pump housing after approximately 2/3 of the life has been realized (once the tube life has been determined through use).

Experience at a particular site will be your best indicator of tubing life. Visually inspect the tubing and rollers on a regular basis after initial installation to get a feel for what maintenance your site will require. Be sure to replace the pump tubing before it splits to prolong the life of the sampler and keep the work area free of contamination from the sample liquid.

The proper length of silicone tubing must be used in the pump body. An improper length can reduce the life of the tubing and pump rollers. Refer to Figure 29 for the correct length.
