Inspect the tubing monthly for wear or cracking, and lubricate it every 3,000 gallons or 6 months using a Versa grease pack.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eWhat happens if I leave it too long?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeristaltic tubing fatigues with use. A tube left in service past its interval is more likely to crack or split under the rotor, which means a leak of whatever you're dosing rather than a controlled dose into the tank.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSuitable for, and not suitable for\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSuitable as a routine replacement part for any Versa VX-1 pump.
