Where can I get replacement tubing for Spectrapure ultra precise ATO?

[Layne.Wilson]

Was doing some matnence on this unit because it was making some noise. After taking out the tube it looks like it’s time for it to be replaced. Any idea where I can find some?

Home Depot maybe?

Have you tried contacting spectrapure? Looks like the PharMed tubing I use on my master flex pump. Can you get an accurate measurement for OD and ID of the old tubing?

Just take the tubing to home Depot/Lowes and you can probably find a match. Looks like 1/8" tubing

I don’t think they have any silicone tubing there

Speatrapure, but it is costly. Maybe less than 20 bucks.

Personally I would pay for the tubing. I would be concerned plain silicone tubing won't hold up to the peristaltic pump. There are grades of silicone tubing used in these pumps but they are designed for peristaltic pumps. You could try another company like USPlastics but they seem to be out of stock on many items and the ones in stock are really long rolls. Finding a company to sell you a few feet may be a challenge. I have the same ATO and wondering what I am going to do also..

For now just bite the bullet & get it from Spectrapure.
Many have tried over the years with some success but I get years out of mine & it is supposed to have a shield of some kind on the tubing for a peristaltic pump.

This might work. In stock and $8.80 for 10'.

Another option.

As Snoopy said, Spectrapure sells it. And they say you need to buy theirs as they put a protective plastic over the section of the tubing that make contact with the rollers, to prevent it from squeezing the tube so tight that over time it can cause a leak. Also as he said, the tubing lasts ~18 months so it's probably a worthwhile investment. That said, I did find this tubing from various forums as the correct size, and it will work, the issue is you void your warranty if you use it (if it's still under warranty) and run the risk of a leak, so if you go this route, make sure to change it much more frequently...



It's the option with 3/16" ID, 5/16" OD, 1/16" Wall, 10' Length
