Any Updates on LM Dosing pump shipping Schedule?

aharrow · 05/13/2010, 09:18 PM

I think the dosing pump might be one of the most sought after items right now because no one can buy one. Any updates on the ship date for these units? Thanks so much

Still waiting for confirmation on final machining date. We are in queu is what we know. We use a very high end machining source who processes large military contracts so our parts are worked in between their major runs. We benefit from their expertise and precision (required) but soffer from the vagaries of their schedule. As soon as I have something firm I will post. My best estimate currently is end of month.

Final parts arrive Monday, final assembly to commence. Pending any more issues we should be pumping them out before the end of the month.

Awesome, please keep us update Bruce, I am leaving for vacation on June 18 and desperately need one to dose my two part. Can I buy it directly from you or Spectrapure when they are ready? Thanks

I just read you have the parts and are now manufacturing them again ? If this is true, I have 2 of the remote modules on order from aquarium specialty, they have been ordered since April. Will you be sending out pre ordered units first?

Thanks
Gary

You are correct.
Fifo-
first in, first out.
We will be working thru the substantial backlog as quickly as possible.

We have begun shipping orders this week of Liter Meter products.
Bear with us as we work off the sizable back log, your system(s) should be shipping soon! I also wanted to tell you that your order will now include our latest GEN VI pump which is virtually maintenance free and has significant improvements over prior generation pumps. For example, the GEN VI pump has a new corrosion resistant coating that is almost impervious to even the most aggressive corrosion environments, and has a lower friction coefficient for smoother and even quieter operation, along with lower power consumption. The reliability is even higher for the GEN VI and the Five Year Limited Warranty on the pump includes the tubing. This thing is really neat!
Sorry again for the long wait, as you may know we had some really bad source problems that prevented us from maintaining stock for timely delivery, and we chose to go ahead and upgrade your order to the GEN VI as when you have waited this long you really deserved our best design yet.

There is a guy selling the Litermeter III on Ebay it says he has 10 in stock Brand New for $350 plus $10 Shipping.

We are now building to order and have caught up with the back log. Thank you for your patience. All Liter Meter products will have the new Gen 6 pumps which are quieter and less maintenance than previous models (5 year warranty on pump and tubing!)
