I was lucky enough to pick up 3 replacement tube sets at $16 AUS each when I brought the Versa's, but this will be a better long term option. Thanks Sam
@@ParkersReef seriously mate,theres one company that's the sole distributor for ecotech in the uk so they charge what they want I'm seriously looking at at alternatives for my calc reactor
£27 !!!! Geez I was just about to say I need to get a new one soon as I seem to be recalibrating a bit. Just need to find someone to share the price with haha I’ve only found it in the uk at £109 per 15m
Hey don’t know if you remember me lol just a update don’t have a salt water tank anymore pandemic stuffed me up Ps I’m the guy the won the kamoer ato and shirt
Did you mean 149 cm? You said mm so I want to make sure, also how did it work out reusing the crimp fittings? I would like to get some replacment crimp fittings if you know what kind to get that would be very helpful
@@ParkersReef looks like I will have to get a different ruler, thank you for the reply, I have a versa on my CARX and need a good cheaper way to replace the tubing every couple months that way I don’t have to worry about it failing, but at 20$ a pop I can’t afford the whole tubing assembly that often

Thanks for this tip! For US residents you can buy this in 10 foot increments from U.S. Plastics for a couple dollars per foot. Just placed an order!
Thanks for sharing!
THANK YOU!!!! Been trying to source the correct tubing. Found it here in the US at US plastics! Cheers!
Pleasure!
Sweet. Thanks for sharing where you found it Phil!
Worth noting that the Molykote is fantastic for a lot of reefing gear, especially RODI unit housings!
Absolutely!!

Good buy!
Great video. Now They just need to be available to buy. Going on 2 years now to buy some, on about every notify list on the Internet.
yeah has been a while!
My tubing showed up today. This worked damn near perfectly and saved me a ton of money.
So glad to hear!!
When I start to use a CaRx on my main display I plan on using a Versa as my pump of choice. This is a good bit of information to know. Thanks Sam
My pleasure mate!
Another great video Sam . I'm loving these maintenance videos 😍 . I don't have all the high tech stuff just yet but it great to learn stuff
Glad you’re enjoying them!
"Trusty" and "Bunnings" in the one sentence....subtle comedy gold, right there!
😄😄
Hehehehehe
Replacement tube assembly is £27 delivered here in the uk mate,I'm on to my 3rd one in 8 months so gonna give this a try
Thanks
Ouch!!! This should save you some pounds then!!
@@ParkersReef seriously mate,theres one company that's the sole distributor for ecotech in the uk so they charge what they want

They’re not cheap, but do make good products. If you can maintain them cheap this way, they’re tough to beat
£27 !!!! Geez I was just about to say I need to get a new one soon as I seem to be recalibrating a bit. Just need to find someone to share the price with haha I’ve only found it in the uk at £109 per 15m
Surely there will be a couple lads to go on with you!
So basicly its a 5mm/8mm silicone tube , cool nice video mate ty
You could use also Vaseline i guess instead of that molykot
To get the best results, I highly recommend using the correct tubing and lubrication. Peristaltic pumps put a lot of pressure on the tubing
Brilliant idea and video. Thanks for sharing mate.
Cheers mate!
Thanks for the tip!, Anyone wanna go halfs or thirds for some replacement tubeing?
Pop a post up on one of the pages, surely plenty will share with you
Thank you for these tips they are extremely helpful
You're so welcome!
Another great video thank you
Thanks for watching?
McMaster car has them
sweet :)

I remember mate! Sorry to hear, hope we can get you back in the game soon :)
@@ParkersReef na I’m out probably gonna go back to fresh water soon tho I’ll start watching your vids again let’s see if I can get first on a few
Haha nice work
Usplastic u can order 10 feet at a time $1.81 a foot
Winning!!!
Did your mate say we’re he purchased this tube from ?
sure did - is in the video description :)
Got a any video how to fix leaky versa?
I don't, but can I ask where it is leaking from? Do you just need to replace the tubing?
@@ParkersReef yah prolly just need a new tubing. Not sure how it cracked never dropped it once. Maybe dosing kalkwasser did it?? 🤔
Hi Sam, where can i buy this tubing in Melbourne?
Hey Kenneth, I can sell you some if you like? Otherwise the place I mention in the video will ship to you :)
Hi Sam, wondering if you would be able to sell me a few pieces of this tube that you have bought.
Happy to pay shipping.
Yes I can, shoot me an email or Facebook message and we can arrange it
@@ParkersReef okay, not good with tech but ill give it a go hahah, what is your Fb link ?
Does that new tubing same diameter with the old tubing.. if not it will be not same output liquid ..
Yes, it is the same tubing
Did you mean 149 cm? You said mm so I want to make sure, also how did it work out reusing the crimp fittings? I would like to get some replacment crimp fittings if you know what kind to get that would be very helpful
Nope, 149mm. You can use zip clips if you prefer, but I found I was able to pry open the clips with a small screw driver and close up with pliers

It’s almost 6 inches to give you some scale. 15cm.
That’s per pump, so grab a few meters of the tubing and you’ll be set for years 👍🏻
@@ParkersReef I just bought 10 feet of the stuff, hopefully that’ll last me quite a while, I’m glad you posted this video it really helped
@@truereefkeeping6022 Good stuff!!!
I've been on the waiting list to get a versa for over a year anybody know if they're going to make more of them?
All I know is that they are coming. When, how many and if they’ve updated them or not - anyone’s guess 😅
Can the same tubing be used for other pumps (Kamoer)?
Potentially, although I would replace the tubing like for like on any pump rather than mixing
Does anyone on planet earth actually have one of these vaporware products besides Sam Parker?
lol I have two.... There are plenty out there, but there will hopefully be a heap more coming in coming months!
Does anyone know the tubing specs for the Neptune DOS and for the Focustronic Alkatronic and Dosetronic?
Afraid I don't, but if you can take a sample to a specialist pump store - they should be able to identify it for you.
