CCEI Microdos Dosing Pump Startup Kit: Prepare Your Pool for the Season

At the start of every season, peristaltic dosing pumps require specific maintenance to restore their dosing accuracy. This CCEI startup kit brings together the five essential parts for maintaining the Microdos pump integrated into the brand's regulators and automatic treatment systems. With a single purchase, you have everything you need to recalibrate your probes, replace mechanical wear parts, and secure the injection circuit before treatment resumes.

What does the kit contain and what is the purpose of each component?

The kit consists of a replacement Santoprene tube, a roller with its support (CCEI reference MPTE0310), a complete injection kit, a pH 7 calibration buffer solution, and an H₂O probe cleaning solution. The Santoprene tube is the key component of the peristaltic mechanism: it is compressed and released alternately by the roller, drawing in and then discharging the corrective product into the hydraulic circuit. After a full season of mechanical compression and contact with acidic or basic chemicals, this thermoplastic elastomer loses elasticity and can lead to irregular dosing, or even a leak. The roller and its support ensure uniform pressure on the tube: their simultaneous replacement guarantees a new roller-tube coupling and therefore optimal mechanical operation from restart.

The injection kit allows for the renewal of the entire connection system between the corrective product container and the pool piping. The pH 7 buffer solution, essential for pH probe calibration, ensures that the initial measurement is reliable before any automatic regulation. Finally, the H₂O cleaning solution removes limescale deposits and chemical residues accumulated on the probe during winterization, which improves the sensor's responsiveness and lifespan.

Which CCEI devices is this kit compatible with?

This startup kit is designed for CCEI devices incorporating a Microdos MP1 peristaltic dosing pump. This includes the Phileo and Phileo VP pH regulators, the Limpido treatment system (all versions), the OXEO electrolyzer-regulator, and the Daisy regulator. If your CCEI device is equipped with a Microdos pump, recognizable by its compact peristaltic head, this kit is suitable for it. However, it is not suitable for dosing pumps from other manufacturers or for CCEI models that do not incorporate the Microdos mechanism.

When and how often should these parts be replaced?

CCEI recommends replacing the Santoprene tube and roller at each restart after winterization, i.e., once a year. The tube is subjected to permanent compression and contact with corrosive products (pH-, pH+, liquid chlorine): even if it does not show any visible cracks, its progressive deformation reduces dosing accuracy. pH probe calibration with the buffer solution should also be carried out at each restart, and ideally a second time in mid-season if swimming conditions are intensive. Probe cleaning follows the same schedule. These simple steps help prevent overdosing or underdosing of treatment products, two situations that degrade water quality and can damage the pool liner or irritate swimmers' skin.

How to install the kit: an operation accessible to everyone

Replacing the parts requires no specific tools and takes only a few minutes. Start by cutting off the power to the device and draining the chemical product circuit. Open the peristaltic head cover, remove the old Santoprene tube by releasing its ends from the input and output connectors, then insert the new tube, ensuring that the ends are correctly locked. Replace the roller and its support, then close the cover. Connect the new injection kit between the corrective product container and the injection point on the piping. Finally, clean the probe with the supplied H₂O solution, proceed with calibration by immersing the probe in the pH 7 buffer solution, and launch the calibration from your device's menu. A manual dosing cycle will allow you to verify that everything is working correctly before switching back to automatic mode.

Microdos startup kit vs purchasing separate parts

Purchasing the five components separately is possible, but the kit offers economic and practical advantages. You are guaranteed to have genuine CCEI parts that are perfectly compatible with each other, without the risk of forgetting an item when putting the system back into service. In addition, grouping wear parts in a single shipment simplifies the management of your maintenance stock and reduces delivery costs. It's the most direct solution for approaching the season with peace of mind, with a calibrated and reliable regulation system from the first day of filtration.

Why is annual dosing pump maintenance so important?

The dosing pump is the executive arm of your pH regulator or automatic treatment system. If it injects inaccurately, the entire regulation chain is distorted: the probe measures, the device calculates, but the volume of product actually injected no longer corresponds to the setpoint. This results in pH fluctuations, cloudy or irritating water, overconsumption of chemicals, and ultimately, premature wear of the electrolyzer cell or the pool liner. By investing a few minutes and a startup kit at the beginning of each season, you preserve the performance of your entire CCEI installation and optimize your consumption of treatment products throughout the summer.

    Frequently asked questions about the CCEI Microdos pool start-up kit

    What is the CCEI start-up kit for Microdos dosing pumps used for? +

    This kit combines the five essential parts for the annual maintenance of the Microdos peristaltic pump integrated into CCEI devices. It allows for the replacement of wear parts (Santoprene tube, roller and support), renewal of the injection circuit, and recalibration of the pH probe using the provided calibration and cleaning solutions. The goal is to ensure precise and reliable dosing of the corrective product from the moment the pool is restarted after winterization.

    Which CCEI devices are compatible with this start-up kit? +

    The kit is compatible with all CCEI devices equipped with a Microdos MP1 peristaltic dosing pump, including Limpido (all versions), Phileo, Phileo VP, Daisy, and OXEO models. If your device includes a Microdos peristaltic head identifiable by its roller and flexible tube, this kit is for it. However, it is not suitable for dosing pumps from other manufacturers.

    Why should the Santoprene tube be replaced every season? +

    The Santoprene tube is subject to permanent mechanical compression by the roller and direct contact with corrosive chemicals (pH-, pH+, liquid chlorine). Over a season, it deforms, loses elasticity, and can even crack. A worn tube leads to inaccurate dosing, a loss of pump priming, or a risk of chemical leakage inside the device. Its annual replacement during start-up is the best prevention against these malfunctions.

    Should the roller and support be replaced at the same time as the tube? +

    It is highly recommended. The roller exerts a calibrated pressure on the tube to create the peristaltic effect. If it is worn or its support is deformed, the pressure becomes irregular and dosing accuracy is lost, even with a new tube. Replacing both elements simultaneously ensures a perfectly adjusted roller-tube pairing and optimal mechanical operation from restart.

    How do I calibrate the pH probe with the provided pH 7 buffer solution? +

    After cleaning the probe with the supplied H₂O solution, rinse it with clear water, then immerse its tip in the pH 7 buffer solution. Access the calibration menu of your CCEI device (Phileo, Limpido, OXEO or Daisy) and launch the calibration at the pH 7 point. The device recognizes the reference value and adjusts its measurement accordingly. If your device requires two-point calibration (pH 7 and pH 9), an additional pH 9 solution will be necessary (not included in this kit).

    What is the H₂O probe cleaning solution for? +

    During winterization and throughout the season, calcium deposits, biofilms, and chemical residues accumulate on the sensitive surface of the pH probe. These deposits slow down the sensor's response time and distort measurements. The H₂O cleaning solution dissolves these impurities and restores the probe's reactivity. This cleaning must be carried out before each calibration so that the calibration is based on a clean and reliable sensor.

    Do I need a professional to install this start-up kit? +

    No, the operation is simple and accessible to any pool owner. No specific tools are required. Simply cut off the power to the device, open the peristaltic head cover, replace the tube and roller, connect the injection kit, then clean and calibrate the probe. The entire operation takes about fifteen minutes by following the instructions in your CCEI device manual.

    What happens if I don't maintain my dosing pump in the spring? +

    Without maintenance, a worn Santoprene tube causes irregular dosing: the pump may inject too much or not enough corrective product. An overdose of pH- attacks the pool lining and irritates the skin, while an underdose allows the pH to drift, reducing disinfectant effectiveness and promoting algae growth. An uncalibrated probe amplifies these discrepancies as the measurements transmitted to the regulator are distorted. By neglecting this annual maintenance, you also risk damaging the pump motor in the event of chemical leakage through a cracked tube.

    Does this kit contain a pH 9 calibration solution? +

    No, this kit only includes the pH 7 buffer solution. Some CCEI devices like the Phileo require two-point calibration (pH 7 and pH 9) for optimal accuracy. If your device requests it, the pH 9 solution will need to be ordered separately. For single-point calibration, the supplied pH 7 solution is sufficient.

    What is the advantage of buying the complete kit rather than the parts separately? +

    The kit gathers the five essential parts for start-up in a single shipment, which prevents forgetting a component at the critical moment of restarting. You benefit from original CCEI parts guaranteed to be compatible with each other, a single order, and a single shipping cost. It is the most direct solution to start the season with a fully revised and operational regulation system from the first day of filtration.
