Peristaltic pump

I was wondering if anyone can recommend a good continuous peristaltic pump for a calcium reactor that is very quiet and accurate? Something that is about 200-300. Your help is much appreciated.

I've looked at the masterflex, but there are so many of them and I don't want to end up getting one that is loud. Which model and head do you recommend?

Look up Simon verastaltic on eBay. I ran one for carx and now I use it for my ATO pump. Fantastic pump and can be had for $100-150. It's also adjustable.

I ended up getting the Simon varistaltic pump. Is there any special tubing that you used for it?
