The valve membrane needing replacement causes the vast majority of suction issues. If your pump loses suction on one side, or you experience a lot less suction when double pumping, these membranes need replacement. If you ever see that the membrane doesn’t lay flat against the valve, it’s time to replace it, but it’s worth noting that damage is not always visible in these small pieces. Replace these every 2 months if you use your pump once or twice a day, and replace every 2-4 weeks if you exclusively pump. The membranes are made of silicone and over time will stretch and lose elasticity, which can impact suction power. The little white flaps on the valves need to be replaced regularly.
Cleaning spectra pump parts full#
If you have purchased a second hand pump, a full shield set should be purchased before you begin using the pump. The more often you use your pump, whether that be times a day or minutes per session, the more regularly you should replace certain parts. Those who sterilise after every use and those who use the dishwasher to clean parts will need to replace more often than someone who washes with warm soapy water. Your cleaning technique may also impact how often parts need replacing. Not replacing parts regularly will make the pump motor work harder, leading to unnecessary wear and tear on the pump, and also risking moisture in the motor.
