Replacing pump parts

I posted yesterday about low supply and I'm wondering if replacing the tubing or membranes would help. How do you know if those parts need to be replaced? They seem to be working fine, but my pump is 5 years old, a hand-me-down from SIL.

    It's possible, but usually if something is not working properly with the pump you'll know. You'll get low suction or a popping sound or something that tells you something is loose or worn out.

    I replaced tubing after 5 years and most definitely membranes.

    if you have a medela, definitely change those membranes and valves! I noticed an improvement the moment I did that.
