Santoprene Tubing for Microdos CCEI Pump – pHileo, Limpido, Oxeo Replacement Part

Santoprene Tube for Microdos Pump: The Original CCEI Part

The Santoprene peristaltic tube is a strategic wear part for the proper functioning of your automatic control system. Designed to resist the most aggressive chemicals (pH corrector, liquid chlorine), this flexible tube guarantees precise and safe dosing for your pool water.

Extensive compatibility: pHileo, Limpido, and Oxeo

This replacement tube is the standard model used by many water treatment manufacturers. It is perfectly suited for the following equipment:

• CCEI Regulators: pHileo, pHileo VP, Oxeo, Orpheo, and Limpido.
• Microdos Systems: Dosing pumps MP1, MP2, and "Speedy" models.
• Vigipool Equipment: Ideal for the maintenance of your connected dosing pumps.

Why replace your dosing pump tube?

Santoprene is a high-performance elastomer, but the repeated pressure from the rollers eventually fatigues the material. An annual replacement, ideally during winterization or restart, helps prevent:

• Corrosive product leaks that could damage your pump's motor.
• Incorrect pH or Chlorine readings due to an irregular dosing flow.
• Crystallization of chemicals inside the hardened tube.

When to replace the Santoprene tube of your dosing pump?

The Santoprene tube is a normal wear part: its lifespan varies depending on the pump's frequency of use, the nature of the injected product, and storage conditions between seasons. Generally, it is advisable to visually inspect it once per season and replace it as soon as any of the following signs appear.

A product leak at the pump — even a minimal one — often indicates a micro-crack or perforation of the tube. Irregular injection or a reduced flow rate without apparent mechanical reason can also betray a tube that has lost its elasticity and no longer compresses correctly. Visually, a hardened, discolored tube or one showing whitish traces of chemical crystallization should be replaced without delay. Finally, after a season of prolonged winter storage — especially if the pump has not been rinsed before storage — it is recommended to systematically replace the tube at the beginning of the season to start anew on reliable foundations.

Technical specifications of the Microdos tube

• Material: High-resistance Santoprene (acid and chlorine compatible).
• Dimensions: Total length with fittings approximately 15.5 cm.
• Installation: Quick replacement without specific tools (Plug & Play system).
• Quality: Certified original spare part for maximum longevity.

Santoprene: a material designed for pool chemicals

Santoprene is a thermoplastic elastomer specifically developed to resist chemically aggressive environments. In a pool dosing pump, the tube is in direct and permanent contact with the treatment products injected: hydrochloric or sulfuric acid to lower the pH, soda or carbonate to raise it, sodium hypochlorite for disinfection. These products are corrosive to most conventional materials.

Santoprene resists this chemical aggressiveness while maintaining the flexibility necessary for the proper functioning of the peristaltic pump. Its flexibility allows for repeated compression and decompression by the rotor without cracking or hardening prematurely, which guarantees a constant and precise injection flow over time. This is why it is the reference material for this type of application in automatic water treatment.

Simple replacement, without specific tools

Replacing the Santoprene tube is an operation accessible to any owner, without requiring the intervention of a technician. Simply cut the power to the regulator, open the Microdos pump cover, carefully remove the old tube by detaching its ends from the connectors, then install the new tube, ensuring that the ends are correctly engaged and sealed on both sides. Immediate restart is then possible.

Ordering this consumable in advance — and having one in stock in your technical room — is good practice to avoid an interruption of automatic dosing in peak season, precisely when your pool is most in demand. At just €9, it's the least expensive spare part of your automatic treatment installation, yet one of the most critical for maintaining dosing accuracy.

To order in addition to the Microdos MP1 pump

If your dosing pump exhibits significant malfunctions — abnormal noise, total absence of injection, blocked rotor — it may be necessary to replace the entire pump rather than just the tube. The Microdos MP1 peristaltic dosing pump, available on Pool Planet, comes with its original Santoprene tube. In intermediate cases where the pump is working correctly but only the tube is worn, this replacement tube is sufficient to restore optimal performance at a lower cost.
