Good Morning All
Has anyone been able to buy spare parts for any of Microcosm Units, I have asked them and they said yes and postage would be $5 to which I agreed and asked to be sent a bill so that I might pay , no replies since then. any help would be appreciated .

Hullo Mike....I think it's all in the translation & use an
auto text translator
for both when enquiring and ordering ...example below

I wanted some spare 'springs, balls & seats for my Microcosm M Series pumps.......[

Again as previously stated here on MBM in 2010, I find Jin from Microcosm to be an excellent person to purchase from

Hullo Mile.......
Are these diaphragms....approx 20 diameter x 1.2 thickness and one with a 4 hole & one of 6 hole M2 holes?
You could try a 'failed no cost' Nitrile bicycle tube & a Plier type hole punch.......

Its for a P5, 6 hole
I have had a number, of complete units from him over the years, but that has always been a direct buy from Ebay.
Never mind, will investigate your option/idea
Thanks

Bonjour,
Personally, I use 0,5 mm nitrile sheets bought to Anton :
