IF CONDENSATION APPEARS IN TUBING
To eliminate condensation after you have completed pumping, continue running the pump with the tubing(s) attached for another 1-2 minutes or until dry.
MILK BACKING UP IN TUBING
-
Turn off the pump and unplug from power source.
-
Remove and disassemble the tubing. Wash in soapy water then rinse in cold clear water.
- Shake water droplets out and hang to air-dry. For faster drying, attach tubings to pump and run pump 1-2 minutes or until dry, or pour a small amount of isopropyl alcohol through the tubings to dry.
- Make sure that valve membranes are undamaged and clean. Replace if necessary.
