Hiya
Nope as they are "Stand Alone" this is what the SA stands for in the product brand. I.e SA3 or SA4
If you have or are thinking of having a ProfiLux controller then I do suggest the salve units to be much more beneficial, furthermore you have the ability to program in water changes that you can not with the stand alone

I am planing on getting the controller and a dosing pump and thought maybe I could buy the SA dosing pump and then get the controller when I have the money for it. Guess I will have to get the controller first and the save for the doser. I want to be able to control everything from my laptop at some point and I also Like the Idea of being able to do small water changes every day with the dosing pumps. In the end I think I will have 7 pumps for dosing Cal,Alk,Mag,Carbon source,bacteria,Water in,Water out. I going with the four pump first and then will purchase a slave unit to do the rest of my dosing. may end up with 8 pumps if I keep dosing potassium.
One more question how much are the replacement hoses?
I have a aqua medic doser (BAD PRODUCT) and recently spent 50$ for two hoses. IT felt like extortion.

the replacment hoses are a massive $6.80 I know total rip off eh! 
You have another option, buy the controller on its own and the slave doser then add the rest when you want
Total would be $794.00 this is with a 4 pump doser so cheaper if you want a 3 pump
The controller will come with everything minus the power bar. So you will get pH probe and Temp probe and RS232 cable

Thanks at that price it would cost almost the same to replace 8 of your hoses than id did to replace two of the ones I have now.
I'm thinking of selling off my LPS collection to pay for a new SPS tank and the doser controller combo I want. I would like to stay around 1,000 for the controller and doser. And the rest would be spent on the new tank. I have a LPS and SPS tank right now and want to spend less time working on my aquariums and more time enjoying them. I think the Profilux Controller and doser are going to help a lot with that.

If you went for the beginner pack and the 4 way doser you will be pretty much bang on budget still leave some $$$$ for ATO sensor etc
