Any thoughts? I am considering purchasing one.

tony727 · 10/07/2014, 08:58 PM

Mine is great!
J.k I still haven't taken it out of its box yet lol.

listen2bob · 10/07/2014, 09:31 PM

Mine is working well. Have it all dialed in and my levels are stable again

bigzman · 10/08/2014, 06:05 AM

Great to hear Dave. I have mine one on a planted working out great but only using to pumps out of the 4. When you get it test it

chris.scang · 10/08/2014, 09:14 AM

I'm following because I need to get a dosing pump and I was thinking of getting the Jebao.

tigger2577 · 10/08/2014, 10:37 AM

Mine is working grate on my planted tank, I have one for my saltwater tank I just need to get set up. but the one I am using works great.

iceet · 10/09/2014, 12:07 AM

thx

BPevito · 12/28/2014, 01:50 PM

Has everyone continue to have success with the dosing pump?

listen2bob · 12/28/2014, 04:00 PM

Mine is still running flawlessly

bigzman · 12/28/2014, 04:04 PM

Mine still works have one a planted and one on reef

BPevito · 12/28/2014, 07:22 PM

That is great to hear. I have been thinking about getting one and you can't beat the price.

mpierce · 01/20/2015, 09:03 AM

Updates?

TheAquatect · 01/20/2015, 11:06 AM

Mine has been working like a champ and, more importantly, been very accurate in the dosing. I'm dosing Alk, Calcium and vodka. I calibrated it and dialed in my dose then tested daily for a while, now weekly and it has maintained it perfectly.

bigzman · 01/20/2015, 05:10 PM

Same here. Have one on planted tank and one in reef along with bm unit.

codydemmel4 · 01/23/2015, 01:10 PM

Everything is still working great? I want to buy one of these tonight.

bigzman · 01/23/2015, 08:16 PM

Yes. All is still good

darsh · 01/27/2015, 11:31 AM

Is this the dosing pump from the group buy??

Reefer4evaa · 02/01/2015, 11:11 AM

My question is (beside them working great)does it hold memory if it's turned off?my reason for the question is if I have it plugged into my apex and configured with my pH probe and the pH let's say goes above 8.5dkh and my apex turns it off as a fail safe (I manually dose to prevent any equipment failures)will the memory of all the settings still be there?

SpSChief85 · 03/30/2015, 08:13 AM

I'm curious as I'm comptiplating buying one as well? any problems yet bigz?

Yes, it does. The programming is committed to ROM. Therefore, if you unplug it, when you plug it back in, it will start where you left it. It also keeps time, in my experience.

ReefTankHunter · 04/11/2015, 02:48 PM

Hope this isn't a dumb question. Got a new dp4,getting ready to hook it up.Do i need to do anything with short hose."pull on them and ungrip.If you know like in that video when ever you buy a dosing pump,he says ypu need to Thanks

I have it plugged into my apex as well with a high value ph shutoff.

I have only tested twice, but on mine the clock needs to be re-set, though the Doser keeps the programming for each head...

nathan1986 · 07/26/2015, 01:17 PM

I'm thinking about getting one for my gf's biocube. Not very many videos out there of people setting them up or reviews of using them long term. Im strongly considering one tho

BryanS4 · 07/26/2015, 03:38 PM

Something about trusting my entire tank to a $100 pump doesn't allow me to pull the trigger on this one. I need a dosing pump as well, but think I'll spend the change on a GHL.
