Help - Where to get silicon tubes for dosing pump?

Seafan · 06-25-2001, 01:25 PM

I have one of those refurbished medical dosing pump (Kangaroo 324) I got from D.Gibson on ebay. I just found a leak in the silicon tube that goes around the turning wheel. The tube came as part of an IV kit. Where could I get some silicon tubes?
Thanks.

I have one of those same pumps from ebay, I looked at medical supply stores for the silicon tubing because mine had the same problem. None of the stores had any, so I contacted Donald Gibson and got one from him, its the whole kit, silicon and the rest of the tubing, it ran me 8 dollars including shipping.

Pet Warehouse sells silicone tubing. It is $2.89 for 20 feet and $29.95 for 250 feet + shipping and handling. Product numbers 411286 and 411299 respectively. It is listed for airline tubing. Don't know if it would be the right size for what you need.

That green silicone tubing they sell at the fish stores is not stretchy enough for the dosers. I've tried it because it's so cheap... no success.
You can get the silicone tubing $2/ft at Innovative Aquatics http://www.reefdosingpumps.com/. Stan has a couple of different sizes. Also, a full set of tubing is $5. He has a toll free # if you need to find out which size will best fit your pump.
