Why Choose a Genuine Spare?

Acid squeeze tubes are exposed to harsh chemicals under constant mechanical stress. Aftermarket alternatives may use incompatible materials that swell, crack, or fail prematurely — leading to acid leaks and inaccurate pH dosing. A genuine Rola Chem tube is the only safe choice.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the acid squeeze tube do in a Rola Chem chlorinator?

The acid squeeze tube is the peristaltic pump element that delivers liquid acid (typically hydrochloric acid) into your pool water to lower and maintain pH. It flexes continuously during operation and must be replaced when it degrades to maintain accurate dosing.

How is the RC8 acid tube different from other Rola Chem tubes?

The RC8 acid tube features a 90-degree bend that matches the specific pump head layout of the RC8 model. This bend is not present on tubes for the RC1 or RC9, so it is important to use the correct part (SKU 520111) for your RC8 unit.

How often should I replace the acid squeeze tube?

Astral Pool recommends inspecting the acid squeeze tube every 12 months and replacing it at the first sign of cracking, swelling, or reduced acid output. Acid tubes typically have a shorter service life than chlorine tubes due to the corrosive nature of the chemical.

Is this tube compatible with the Rola Chem RC1, RC9, or Viron EQ?

No. This tube (SKU 520111) is designed specifically for the Rola Chem RC8 and features a 90-degree bend not found on other models. For RC1, RC9, or Viron EQ acid tubes, please refer to the correct spare part for those models.

How do I replace the acid squeeze tube on my RC8?

Turn off the chlorinator and isolate the acid supply. Open the RC8 pump head cover, remove the worn tube, and carefully seat the new 90-degree tube around the rotor in the correct orientation. Reassemble and prime before restarting. Always wear appropriate PPE when handling acid components.
