I bought a used Apex DOS and when I run them they are pumping at different amounts over the same period of time. Does this mean one head is starting to fail or is there a setting somewhere I can adjust it?

Agree that the first step is to calibrate. There certainly are wearable parts. I replace the peristaltic tube on mine about every year. Have not had to replace the rollers yet.

You could try running the calibration task.
Thanks, I'll do that. I'll try and look up a video on how to do it. Will calibrating it adjust the amount it's flowing out?

What kind of tubing do you use?
