PUMP TUBE BASICS
The tube is the workhorse of the pump. It is perishable and will eventually stop functioning
from natural wear or when it reaches the end of its service life. Indications of the end of
service life are:
•
Tube leaks
•
Tube is fatigued causing a reduction or lack of output
The pump tube service life can be reduced by conditions of the application
or the installation. These conditions are:
•
Calcium or mineral deposits
•
Sediment blockages
•
Chemical incompatibility
•
Corrosion
•
Improper handling
