Any dosers that pump uphill?

[DrewBrees713]

I don't have a fuge so I need a doser that can pump uphill about 4.5 ft
Any cheap doser maybe like a Jebao I can use? Thanks!

You will have to use a check valve inline with the outlet of the dosing pump. Maybe a Jebao will do it thou they use the cheapest pump made.

So you're saying most dosers are capable of pushing water that far up? sorry if that sound dumb. Never ha had a doser of any kind before.

Yes, peristaltic pumps are quite good at pushing up that distance.

Thank you, both!

The check valve helps keep your line full. I pump up to my tank. But I use a GHL doser and they use a higher end pump than a Jebao

Can't afford high end equipments at this point in time. Got a whole host of stray animals I'm looking after so money is a little tight. would love to see a picture of your tank and set up.
