Question For Dosing Pumps

[Luke.]

Was wondering what do you guys use ? Or what’s a good brand to buy ? Looking at 3-4 pumps.

I love and never had an issue with the DOS but if you want 3-4 pumps means you'll be looking around $900 + reservoir. My second choice was going to be the Kamoer, heard good things with their dosing pumps with the option of 4 pumps + wifi.

I used the Kamoer X4 before switching to Calcium reactor. Solid unit

if I decide to run Vodka I’ll just use a BRS 1.1 doser with the Apex

I also use the DOS but for water change

I guess it depends on budget. I use GHL Doser 2.1 with 4 heads. For quality and dependability compared to cost then I would look at Kamoer. Apex DOS only works with an Apex.

Okay , I do not have a apex if 4 heads are like 900 , I’ll stick with maybe 2 heads , what about the jebao ones any good ?

Lots of people use Jebao and love them. Many have never had an issue. Much like their circ and return pumps that I live, I dont trust their reliability. I didn't care if a circ pump broke, but if a dosing pump fails, it normally fails ON. That could be catastrophic.

Where did you get yours ?

 

[Matt1997]

I used both the kamoer F4 and Kamoer X4 before the DOS system. They were great reliable dosers

I have never used a Jebao for the above reason. I purchased my GHL Doser 2.1 through bigshowfrags.com

It’s to bad Kamoer doesn't have a 2 head unit I see only singles and 4 but it’s roughly $299 for the unit , can wifi be an issue with the unit if it say disconnected the connection to my phone to the unit ? Or wifi goes down? Any thoughts ? Or person experience with them? Or wifi equipment in general

A few people on here have the Kamoer wifi units. I am sure they are great and haven't really heard any negative.

2 years on the first doser and 1 year on the doser connected to the KH Director.

What’s the kh director do?

GHL KH Director is a auto alk tester. It requires 3 heads to run, I use the forth to auto dose alkalinity to make auto adjustments.

That’s pretty sweet , I see it’s $1000+ for the 2 units

 

[Luke.]

@TORX when you bought the dosing unit , then upgraded to the director , is it just as accurate as say a salifert test kit ?

 

[Luke.]

Also these ever go on sale ?

Yes, extremely accurate and consistent. I loved the fact that it auto corrected dosing within set safety parameters. I didn't worry about ALK for an entire year and my growth took off.

As for sales, I am not sure, @BIGSHOW could help you with that.

Do you just have a diy type container situation ? Or did you buy any containers with dividers online ? Just curious
