Turn off the pump. Disconnect the flowmeter and replace the representative tubes with new unexposed media for sampling. Caution: Long-duration Color Detector Tubes require a special tube cover that accommodates an in-line trap tube. The trap tube protects the pump from caustic fumes that are often released from detector tubes. -
