Doser, what do you recommend & why?

[Mcsommerfeld]

Looking to pick up a doser this week, this will be my first so simplicity I think it a key factor. Does any one have any experience with either bubble magus or the new eshopps doses?

I'm using a marine color Doser and a few BRS dosers I'm happy with both but every time you lose power the marine color clock resets but saves all the programs

 

[Mcsommerfeld]

My understanding is that Magus doser breaks up the dose about over a 24 hour period for you, does the marine color do this as well?

I use the GHL 3-pump doser.
It's hard to beat anything made by GHL.

 

[Mcsommerfeld]

The GHL does look like an extremely nice unit, but pricey...ouch. Is it really worth paying that much more over the bubble magus?

 

[viper12775]

you can program it to do up to 16 doses per channel per day min dose of .05 cc to a max of .5 cc a sec

Bubble Magus triple doser works great!

I use a couple of those repurposed medical dosing pumps and love them. They also dose 24hours a day.

Uncle Luke, what stands out about the bubble Magus?

Price.... Super easy to use and accurate in small and large doses.

I've heard about folks running into reliability issues with the Bubble Magus doser.

I'm currently researching dosing pumps as well, and would love a GHL system, but they're not cheap. Looks like the BRS pumps might be the way to go.

Been using BRS dosers for 2 years. Haven't failed me once. Easy install with the brackets. Good price imho

I love my Bubble Magus dosing pump. I set it up in about 5 min. Many different options available too!

I just got the whole BRS dosing kit. Everything including containers and calcium and alk and 2 dosing pumps was on sale now for $179. First time doser myself. Hope this is easy.

I use the Kamoer dosing pump and it is fanastic, around the same price as the bubble magnus but more features. Kamoer actually makes medical pumps so they have a great background. So far it seems to have a much better track record than the bubble magnus in terms of quality

Hard to say. Depends on how much things like build quality, reliability, and customer support is worth to you.
