The E-Clucky water pump

E-Clucky Fully-Automatic Egg Incubators use a peristaltic-pump to drip water into cellulose sponge.
The controller starts and stops the pump automatically. However the rate is very slow, drop by drop, so you may help it at the start by sucking on the delivery end while the pump is running.
The silicone tubing where it's pressed by the pump can wear out over time. There are spare pieces of replacement tubing. Some lengths are supplied and more are available to buy.
To extend the service life of the tubing, the wheel of the pump is lubricated with a silicone grease, E.g. and O-Ring Grease.
