Almost finished with improvements to the AWC setup on my Kore 5th....
Wired AWC DC pump accessory to a pair of new Spectrapure litermeters. These are the newest generation designed for continuous operation.

Well, looks like this experiment turned into a very expensive mistake. Everything tested and calibrated perfectly. Finished plumbing in the new pumps and left the AWC work. Noticed the pump 1 would stop after few seconds when pumping out water. Did a firmware update, clean memory, reset settings, now neither the litermeters nor internal pumps are turning over. I guess 5w litermiters were just too much for Kore 5th to handle.

Please contact with service - they will give you informations what can be wrong (maybe litermeter pumps take too high current?)
I sent them an email already. I repeated the trouble shooting procedure again (firmware update, memory clean and load defaults) with the doser right next to the bluetooth adapter. With everything but the power disconnected, the internal dosing pumps do not respond when turned on manually via the software. I think you are right, the litermeters probably overloaded a voltage regulator in the kore 5th. One thing I have not tried is a different powersupply. What is the required amperage on the PSU?, I am honestly not even certain I have been using the original one.

Yes, relays would be perfect solution - they not drain too much current and you can connect any other pumps by them.
Power supply should have 12v and 1A

I got a quick response from Tomasz, but my options are limited to sending in the mainboard to Poland to attempt a repair. As I need a replacement asap, I guess I will need to purchase a starter edition to use in the meanwhile.
If there are any "unsatisfied" owners willing to part with their units, I would be happy to take it off your hands.

Not using a mac. All 5 internal pumps don't respond at all, nevermind the external DC outputs.

It looks like main power IC is burned by too high current taken by that Litermeters pumps..
That would be nice... If the doser works for me without fail I would consider that purchase.
$350 shipped was a good deal, considering I paid 600 for my original pro. I do wish they had them in black. P.S did the sheet metal change with the gen 3?, am kinda wondering I can swap internals into my black chassis, lol.

I don't see it. But is that the only change? Are the connections the same in the back? Why the change? If it's a whole new gen, change should be pretty significant other than just a color change.
There was a run of all white dosers late 2015 early 2016 I believe. Were those gen 3?

I have received my doser few days ago.
This thing is a beast, top notch hardware quality.
I had some trouble using the application but I think I found the solution and it's all good and was very easy to calibrate and set it up.
Using windows, the setup should have been opened with "Open as Administrator" option to work without issue. I didn't have this issue with my Pandora light though.
Thanks Pacific Sun!!
Have a question if you guys can help would be great, I had to put the doser on the stand shelf upside down for the pump fitting to be hang downward and connect to my containers, but now the screen is upside down as well. It's not a big deal but just want to make sure I am not doing something stupid !!
