I am looking for people's opinions on dosing pumps. I'm looking for something very user friendly and something very reliable. If you own the pump can you please let me know the pros and cons. Tyvm in advance
If you have an apex I would go with the apex dos. Extremely easy to setup and change dosing amounts. Still new but apex has a great reputation.
Otherwise I would go for a profilux. Never had a problem with this unit besides have one led screen burnout.
I've had bubble magus and they weren't one of my favorites.
The BRS dosers are great units. But one after a year wouldn't work out of 3 that I had.
Pro .....Super,Super,Super
Cons.....to much $
I got one for few years , i run Calcium Reactor, i just use the Libra to polish my #, also back up, GREAT Dosing pump.
I have had the BRS 1.1 pumps that worked great. Never had a problem.
I am using a kamoer dosing pump now and it was EXTREMELY easy to setup. Priced even with the BM but more features. The retailer - salty supply have been extremely helpful and even sent me a free adapter when I misplaced mine. I started ordering from them since BRS got hacked and I was affected.
I would like to try to APEX DOS next...mainly because it looks sexy and works with my existing APEX system.
I have a dp-4, cheap reliable....only con is when you calibrate it....it's still off.....I had to cheat to get it to dose 1ml....but not difficult at all....before I adjusted it was doing 4ml for every 1ml.....than I took the calibrated number and cut it in half and it's good....I had had the power diconnected for over 45 minutes and kept it's programming so that was awesome
I have a 7 head bubble magus and I am very happy with it. easy to use seems very reliable for over 2 years now. after 2 years I changed the hoses. it was fast and easy only took about an hour to do all 7
I've been using for a number of years now Marine Magic dosing pump. You can get a 3 head pumps for under $100 shipped on ebay. Never had a problem with it and the tubes are regular size, so you can get them anywhere. The only issue is the manual isn't the best, so you need to watch the video to program it.
Jebao DP-4 is a great,low cost, reliable unit! I LOVE mine and know lots of others that do too. For $100 shipped off eBay, you can't go wrong. Especially to have a 4 head doser! Such a great product. Easy to use and well built.
