Replacement tubing for Bubble Magus Doser - Page 2

TprMoore · 03/06/2017, 10:06 PM

I'm bring this thing back from the grave, but I was in need of replacement tubing for my BM doser and was able to find replacement tubing here. I would imagine I'm not the only one who needs or will need replacement tubes and doesn't want to by new heads.

I get mine from premium aquatics. I change out the tubing once every 6 months and never replace the dosing heads. It works like a charm.

Three lengths of 4" to 6" for $19.99! Get serious! I've heard stuff is expensive in SoCal, but that's crazy!

McMasters is 25 (that's 50 lengths of 6") feet for $14.25.

What type of tubing is it specifically? Latex?

Look at the bottom of the page. Clear tygon. The bottom has metric sizes. The first one is 4mm OD and 2mm ID at $0.57/foot (25' minimum order.

Very helpful thread. Thanks. I still use Bubble Magus dosers. Here is what I found:

I received my tubing today. It looks and feels exactly like the original tubing. Although I don't have a brand-new "Bubble Magus" tubing to compare to, I would say that santoprene is the original material.
