{"product_id":"gem-silicone-diaphragm","title":"Gem Silicone Diaphragm","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe Gem Silicone Diaphragm is a replacement part for the Gem Pump, the small soft component that creates the suction your pump relies on. It sits in the vacuum path and flexes as the pump runs, so if it develops a tear or hole the pump can't build proper suction — which is usually the sign it's time to swap it out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eBecause it also prevents milk and air from flowing back into the pump, this diaphragm is part of what keeps the Gem a closed-system pump. It's made from food-grade silicone and is designed specifically for the Gem Pump, so you're replacing a worn part with one made to fit rather than a lookalike that only fits physically.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eHow it works\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCreates the suction:\u003c\/strong\u003e The diaphragm flexes as the motor runs, generating the vacuum the Gem Pump uses to express.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePrevents backflow:\u003c\/strong\u003e It stops milk and air moving back into the pump, which is what keeps the Gem a closed-system pump.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWear part:\u003c\/strong\u003e A diaphragm that's torn, holed or damaged can no longer hold the vacuum, so replacing it helps restore your pump's suction.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBest for\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe Gem Silicone Diaphragm is a great option if you:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwn a Gem Pump and have noticed weaker suction that may point to a worn diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHave found a tear, hole or other damage on your current diaphragm\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLike to keep a spare on hand so a worn soft part never interrupts your pumping routine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt's designed for the Gem Pump, so do check it against your pump before ordering if you use a different system.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003ePandylane Pro Tip:\u003c\/strong\u003e Soft silicone parts like the diaphragm wear before the motor does, so if suction drops it's worth inspecting these first — a small replacement part often solves what feels like a bigger problem.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Gem","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47282195464369,"sku":"GEM-SDM","price":99.0,"currency_code":"ZAR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0728\/9559\/4673\/files\/gem-silicone-diaphragm-1.jpg?v=1784529107","url":"https:\/\/pandylane.com\/products\/gem-silicone-diaphragm","provider":"Pandylane","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
