Anyone using the Jebao Dosing Pump?

[fredro]

I was a little unsure before I ordered my Jebao DC6000 Return pump, but after hearing a bunch of positive reviews on here, I purchased one off eBay. I have to say that I couldn't be happier with it all around. It's well made, energy efficient, powerful and most importantly it's QUIET! Now it's getting time that I buy a dosing pump. So I once again turn to the forum to see it any of you guys have the Jebao Dosing pump. The price is MORE than right, at around $100. I've watched YouTube videos and it seems straight forward and well built. Having said that, let's hear it. What do you guys think about them?

I a running 3 of them for about 2 months with no problems. Two months isn't a great amount of time but they have run fine

That's good to hear. Was setup and programming easy and does it seem accurate and consistent? Thanks

I thought the set-up was okay. You have to know what amount you want to dose in a 23 hour period. For example, I dose Alk 6 times a day so I set the pump to 6 then it asks every day (or you can skip days) then it asks amount each time(ml) and finally what time do you want the pump to dose. The instructions are terrible but if you set it once it really is pretty simple after that. I also have mine hooked up to a controller because if it decides not to stop dosing, the controller will shut the whole doser off
Hope this helps

How does the controller know if it's stuck dosing? pH level?

Yep, you can graph it and even dosing 10ml at a time the controller shows you a jump in ph
