Hi,
When I was cleaning my pump the plastic red tube broke. Would anyone know what size it is? I also want to mail order Thanks , Pete

Try a piece of RO or ice maker tubing.
Might be good enough till you can get the right one.

IF it has to be replaced so the pump can be used I would use Teflon pipe tape to increase the o.d. until it is snug.

The AKB tubing is 8mm OD Polyethylene tubing.
