I have this Hydros dosing pump dosing lime water through out the day. It worked good for about a month then started leaking. It leaked and pumped for a bit and now longer moves any fluid. The motor is spinning, not sure if it is spinning the pump head.

How do I fix this? I assume new tubing in the pump head. What size and type? How do I fix?

Its likely something to do with the tubing inside the head. I would take it apart to check though. I'm not sure what type of tubing they use but I'm sure BRS sells it.
