Automatic Water Change System

I am hoping to hear from someone that did it before to give me some insight. I am thinking about using the Neptune Doser or the Kore 5th stage doser (Since it is on sale now).
Thanks! I end up ordering a Kore 5th dosing pump. I'll post some pictures once I set it up with my new setup.
Yes, that is my understanding. They have their water changing module add on that I also ordered. The doser will be shipped this week and the water changing module will be in the US in 2 weeks.

This is my best guess from the reading I have done on the Kore, but I don't think so. With the add-on module, I believe that it leaves all dosing heads available. Certainly it is stated "Using included DC pump for ATO give us still possibility using all 5 peristaltic pumps." But I am not sure whether the port for AWC and ATO (with added module) are the same.
Regardless, IMO this doser looks to be a better tool than the GHL or anything else out there. Like you, I ordered one and am looking forward to freeing up numerous spaces on my Apex, as well as keeping dosing, ATO and AWC managed by one unit.
I have a question for those who own a Stenner 100 DMP dual head pump.
I just setup my stenner and wanted to run a test. I took 2 buckets of equal water and marked the height of the water. I took pump A inlet in bucket A and pump B inlet to bucket B I then ran pump A return to bucket B and pump B return to bucket A and then let it run. In 2 hours bucket A was about 1.5 liters more water and bucket B was down 1.5 liters. I'm at a loss of what to do if the 2 pumps aren't pumping identical amounts. Any thoughts? I have the 100dmp5 non adjustable pump.

I haven't owned one but I have similar diaphragm pumps and repair them at work sometimes. If the unit is not new it probably need to have a rebuild done on it. The rubber diagram gets worn out and also the pushrods on some are plastic or sit in a plastic retainer that can wear down and cause the stroke to be less than others causing under dosing.. I'd look into rebuilding it if it's not a new unit, the kits are usually pretty cheap.
