PUMP SQUEEZE TUBE LUBRICATION AND
REPLACEMENT
!
Remove and inspect the squeeze tube. If it is
round and not flattened, and shows no visible
signs of wear, then it can simply be lubricated as
per the instructions in this section.
The OxiBOSS monitors the running time of the dosing
pump and will display a reminder to replace the
squeeze tube when this time exceeds 50 hours.
If the squeeze tube appears a little flattened and
has wear marks, then it is best to replace it. A new
squeeze tube can be ordered at bionizer.com.au.
!
Switch off the OxiBOSS and ensure that the pool
pump is also off.
At this time, the peristaltic pump squeeze tube either
needs to be lubricated or replaced as per the
instructions below.
Removing the Squeeze Tube
Damage caused by chemical leaking from a
broken squeeze tube is not covered by the
warranty, so it is your responsibility to check and
replace it as necessary.
Remove the Squeeze
tube. The rotor may
come out, but can be
pushed back in place.

bottom of the pump
cover.
Lift up the pump cover
from the bottom side.
MAINTENANCE
Apply Silicon
grease here.
Pull out the pump rotor a little, and place the
squeeze tube between the pump body and the two
rollers.
Push the squeeze tube and rotor into the pump body.
Ensure that the inlet and outlet are seated in the
guides on each side of the pump body.
Refitting the Pump Cover
Re-fit the pump cover until it clips into place. There
should be no gaps anywhere between the pump
body and cover. Ensure that the squeeze tube is not
pinched on either side, after the cover is replaced.
Refitting the Squeeze Tube
Lubricating the Squeeze Tube
DO NOT
over-lubricate, as this will attract dirt and
grit, which will cause premature wear of the squeeze
tube and rollers.
Apply a
THIN SMEAR
of Silicon grease to the
squeeze tube and pump rotor shaft as shown above.
(Skip this step when replacing squeeze tube, as these
are supplied pre-lubricated.)
WARNING : Use only silicon grease. Petroleum gel
and other oil-based lubricants may cause the
squeeze tube to break down, resulting in corrosive
chemical spillage.
