I replace mine every month and sometimes alternate membrane sets. I definitely can tell the difference! </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-change-your-valves#post-1569810 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 11:02:35 +0000 Mrs Green Grass 1569810@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: If you put a new one next to an old one, you'll feel how much thicker the new one is. I usually didn't replace until they tore (tiny little tears right next to the part that stick into the yellow part) but sometimes I replaced if it felt really thin. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-change-your-valves#post-1569793 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 10:54:24 +0000 jetsa 1569793@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@Lindsay05: I wish I knew. I just changed mine because I was having issues and didn't know what was causing it. This site says every 2-3 months for EP's so I'd guess you are fine. I estimate I've pumped 300 times since I've been pumping so they probably needed it :) <a href="http://pumpingtimes.com/how-to-care-for-your-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-pisa-for-best-performance/" rel="nofollow">http://pumpingtimes.com/how-to-care-for-your-medela-pump-in-style-advanced-pisa-for-best-performance/</a> </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-change-your-valves#post-1569783 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 10:48:59 +0000 jetsa 1569783@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>@singingbee: mine are white pieces of plastic. I think they're called membranes oops!</p> <p>[attach=2716/14/n42x9o.338x600.image.jpg] </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-change-your-valves#post-1569731 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 10:27:45 +0000 Lindsay05 1569731@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>How can you tell when you need new valves &amp; membranes? I have had my pump for about a year and a half used for about 5 months total. I have never replaced them. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-change-your-valves#post-1569672 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 10:06:42 +0000 singingbee 1569672@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>The yellow ones? Or the clear ones? Just replaced the yellow and membranes. </p> https://boards.hellobee.com/topic/psa-change-your-valves#post-1569610 Tue, 15 Apr 2014 09:36:52 +0000 jetsa 1569610@https://boards.hellobee.com/ <p>I had a really bad pumping day yesterday and could tell something was up with my pump, I could hear air moving around weirdly. I changed the membranes this am and all is fixed!<br /> :) :) :) </p>
