Shot out to Masterflex pump users

[diablomaster9045]

Hey everyone,

So I am running one of the very old easy load pump heads on my masterflex for my CA Reactor. And I am wondering what pump heads people are using for there CA reactors, how often they have to change there tubing, and what tubing are they using?

I have a 7021-24 and I am running Tygon L/S 17 and I am having tube ruptures about once a month.

I see you're using a head that is L/S 21 size tubing? (but you're using LS17?)
New to the game of these, waiting on the new pump I got.. :D (can't wait to do simultaneous water changes across 3 tanks with 1 pump lol)

The pump head is supposed to support LS 13, 14, 16, 17, and 18 tubing. I actually just bought one of the easy load pump heads off ebay and have not had a rupture since. So it may just be the design of the pump head.
