Does anyone put grease on the kamoer x1 pump heads? Mine is a little loud and I wanted to grease it but can’t find anything about it, full disclosure it’s not exactly the kamoer x1 but the pump head is exactly the same
Kamoer x1/ look a like

I wouldn’t. If you get it on the drive spindle it will slip.
The head is just 3 floating wheels set in the protective tube housing. Even a drop of water on the wheels transfers to the spindle, preventing drive. I’ve had it happen on the DD version of the X1.
Thank you!
I’m just going to put it on the tubing then so that doesn’t happen, the spindle kind of looks like the GHL doser 2.1 setup
Here's a kamoer pump head. The motor shaft just gets stuffed in there and it directly drives the wheels that are in contact with the tubing. If grease gets on those wheels, the motor shaft it going to slip. On something like a Versa, the wheels are in contact with the tubing but aren't anywhere near the motor shaft, so grease on the wheels isn't going to transfer itself to the shaft (which I suspect it splined anyways).
I added a small amount of grease on the tubing it seems to be working out good, if it slips what will happen?
It seems quieter and it seems to be working fine, I didn’t put very much on there, just enough to keep it from squeaking
Quiet and useless lol
Most of the noise went away, I for sure will thank you!!!
