I recently purchased the Aqua Medic EVO 4 Reefdoser 4-head dosing pump, and I'm liking it a lot. Very nice quality unit -- it's extremely accurate and very easy to program for automatic dosing. I love the remote control unit -- no more kneeling in front of the sump to make adjustments. The price was extremely reasonable, too, compared to other peristaltic dosers. But I have some unanswered questions, and the user's manual is pretty sparse. Hopefully somebody here has the answers.
1. I've found that one can in fact do manual dosing, but when I tried to do this, the controller did not display a volume dispensed. It just turned on the selected pump. I really was needing to dose a specific volume of one of the liquids. Isn't there some way to do this directly? Removing the dosing tubes and placing them into a measuring beaker and then using the pump manually to fill the beaker to the desired volume isn't really a good solution. I can do this without the pump accurately enough and much faster.
2. After one of the pump heads has already been programmed, how can I discontinue/cancel the program for that head? I see no way to do this.
I appreciate any feedback.
