Gary, does yours get clogged from food or medicine? Does your MIC-Key come with 2 detachable tubes? Mine did, one very narrow for water and the other almost the size of the original I had. Even with my mother and using a pump, we only got clogged with crushed meds and used cranberry juice first, coke second and it always cleared.
