Good to know.....
The only thing is, I don't know if it's coming from their US warehouse or their Hong Kong warehouse. I did get a tracking number, but I don't recognize it.

Just to be 100% clear this is 100% NOT "essentially" in any shape or form including quality, reliability, longevity and functionality a GHL doser. Other than a cheap Chinese company copying the look ONLY of a renowned product.
GHL have the last laugh though as this was launched the month GHL bring out their new Wifi stepper motor powered doser

Anybody having a problem with their timers? All mine are set but won't run at the selected times. The pumps will run in manual only. Defective? For example my pump #1 is setup as follows.
1 out of 24 times per day
0 intervals out of 30
5 ml
Set time

I've been running mine a few weeks now. Reefbreeders has great manual they wrote for it. Works just fine. It's pretty noisy though compared to my old BRS dosers. I'm guessing it will work just as well as everything else out there, since it's using the same parts being used by everyone else.
reefwiser, do you know that for a fact or is it an opinion?
The spectrapure can push 60ft and pull 25ft. They are both peristaltic pumps so they should have similar capabilities. Even if it could only push 30 ft, it would be enough...
I'm just looking for actual numbers or experience.

Has anyone had issues with the solutions draining out of the lines? Do I need to add check valves?

I just got one and the solutions keep draining out of the tubing. I am wondering if I have a defective doser.

Questioning long term reliability/ usability.
Some feedback, I bought the DP-4 in Sept 2014, and it came in about 3 1/2 weeks - no issues there.
Pump 1 was used to dose 1 cup, three times a day (237ml * 3) of limewater (kalkwasser) and Pump 2 dosed 1 cup of watered down Mag from Randy's two part. After about three weeks, pump 1 which had the Kalc wasn't dosing, but making a winding noise. I contacted Fishstreet and after some questions they sent out a replacement pump; standing by their product which is great, as it's the first time I had to get warranty support for a jeabo product. Also, I was dosing the clear Kalc, not getting the sentiment.
When pump 1 went bad, I calibrated pump 4, and set the program in. Today, this morning, I put a 2 cup measuring cup at the output that should have read 237ml, and it only pumped 200ml. Not good. I went to pump 2 that dosed the mag, changed the time of dose, instead of 237 ml, it was 195ml. Also not good.
I calibrated both pumps, and tested, to get what it was suppose to, 1 cup @ 237ml. I plan to test the output now every week as that kind of surprised they went out of calibration after two month and one month of service respectively.
Any other tests 4-8-12 weeks in to see if calibration is still in check? I'll keep everyone posted.
