The chemical concentrations stated in the above table are just a guide. Variations in temperature, pressure, or UV exposure may cause tubing failure which
could lead to serious injury if proper safety precautions are not followed. For this reason it is recommended that the tubing be tested by the user with the desired
chemical in the specic application to determine ultimate suitability before using them. No warranty (neither express or implied) is given that the information in
these tables is accurate or complete or that any material is suitable for any purpose.

1.1 Overview
• Peristaltic pump tubing has a nite life and should be replaced periodically to maintain stable
performance.
• Flush pumps and tubing with water when product is going to be unused for more than one month.
• After storage for long periods, initial set up procedures should be carried out when re-installed.
• If you notice any sudden or signicant changes in ow rate, see the troubleshooting guide in
section 5.3 of the Bluelab®Peripod™Manual, and check for signs of damage or wear.
• Bluelab does not recommend the use of highly concentrated acid or alkaline with this product
as it is likely to damage the pump tubing. See.1.3 for maximum recommended concentration
of commonly used acid and alkaline for tubing3.
WARNING
Always ush tubing and pumps with clean water BEFORE performing any maintenance on
pumps or tubing. This ensures that all dangerous chemicals are ushed out of the tubing and
pump, reducing accidental harm or injury.
