What kind of dosing pump should I get?

[LeslieS]

I have been trying to learn to do each new skill myself before automating, but I think it is time for a dosing pump.

I am currently adding 2 Part b-ionic and magnesium supl. to the tank. What kind of doser does everyone suggest?

Get the one from Tunze cost a little more but it is worth it.

Definately the Litermeter III. Well worth the $$$$

I've been looking for a while also Leslie and everyone says the Litremeter 3 or the naut.

Or go with a dialyseas if u can afford it =0)

I'm planning on getting a litremeter 3 soon.

the liter meter description says one internal pump and 2 optional pumps, but it also says 3 programs for one pump. Would I have to have the 2 optional pumps if I want to dose 3 things?

Yes you would. It then gets really expensive, that is why I went with the 3-way Aquamedic doser. I use it for B-ionic two part and water top off.

I like it alot, it works very well on my two systems.

I looked alot at the various options, and ended up going with an Auquamedic doser (2 pumps). I have not regretted my descision at all, and would buy another one If I was in the market for it. It took alittle bit of patience to calibrate it, but once that is done it works great.

There are many options and I'm sure they are good.
I have to say Spectrapure really stands by their product.
I had a 5-6 year old litermeter that need a new dial(old model), I called and they told me they didn't make that one anymore.
I asked if I could get parts and I was told mabey they could find one, but instead of that they would give me full price I paid for the old toward the new model.
The new model (litermeter 3) is cake to use and I'm very pleased.
Good customer service and tech support is priceless.
