Reeffiller Pump on timer for two-part dosing

[supervdl]

I still looking into new dosing pumps for my 2-Part ESV Additive for Ca and Alk. I came across the reeffiller pumps which have been recommended to me from various sources.

Can you use them for two part systems? I need only 200ml added daily and with the smallest pump 3 gal (single) and 6.5 gal (two lines) it gets a little to dose correctly. Can you put them on a timer to further finetune the output (i.e., 50% of the day => 50% of the dialed output)?

Just try to make sure I understand the issues before I spend the money. Thanks for your help.

I don't know the answer to your question, but I'll give you a bump. I have heard that they are quite loud.

Super loud and finicky to use. I dont recommend them.

[jag1979]

would you recommend them for garage > attic > aquarium use?

[ReeferAl]

I have a peristaltic pump from Omega (http://www.omega.com/pptst/FPU100.html). It is louder than my Liter Meter III, but certainly not too loud for a garage or attic. I have had no problems with it. It can be operated on a timer or float switch with no problem. You might look into these.

Look at reefdosing systems form innovative aquatics, they work and extremely quiet 1-or 2 channels. I have one that i'm parting with .

The Reef Fillers are noisy, and work fine in a basement or garage. I have several in my basement for limewater and automatic water changes. They can be used for dosing, but peristaltic pumps also work well. :)

How does the noise level compare to a chiller?

[Randy Holmes-Farley]

Not sure, since I don't have a chiller, but on a quiet day in the dining room, I can just hear it in the basement. :)
