DIY peristaltic pump kinda

[KnoxvilleIa]

well it is kinda a diy.

pump and motor are off ebay
pump is 195.00 new oem price
15.00 ebay
motor is 1.5 deg per step again 15.00 on ebay
add a 50.00 stepper motor controler,
pump has roller bearings, totaly rebuildable.
motor is sized for the starting torque of 180 lb-in
going to feed kalk, and Ca reactor with it, on the Ca reactor I should be able to get the flow down to just a drip, so it should elimanate clogging of the valve. cool

ok.. i have a very similiar head to yours now.. i just need to figure out the motor...

can you help point us fellow diyers in the right direction?

by the way, would a standard motor work, if you just tweak the voltage supplied?
