    Can you replace the tube that's inside the pump cover?

    Neptune only sells the entire head assembly because the rollers wear out almost as quickly as the tubing itself. You could try, but it likely won't work.

    You might be an engineer if...You have no life and can prove it mathematically.

    if that's the case what is the best method to clean it. I was dosing alk and cal for a little under year and have since switched to calcium reactor and now I want to start dosing other things. Can I run vinegar through it to clean it?

    You can clean it with vinegar. If it's still calibrating fine (ie before calibrating value dosed is within a ml of 40) Then the heads are likely still good.
