I had multiple BRS dosing and top off pumps in service for about 3 years for Kalk/ATO and 2-part. They functioned flawlessly. I would still be using them had I not installed a calcium reactor and Cole-Parmer peristaltic pump.

I am using the Drews Dosing Pumps from BRS. Have had them for about 2 years. The last year they started failing. The motors are wore out and they don't want to start consistenly. I have replaced all the tubing, re greased no luck. I have to keep an eye on them to be sure they haven't stopped working and alk/cal dips to low. They usually turn on about a minute into the on setting. Sometimes the stick and won't turn on until I tap on them

Just an FYI for anyone who may not be aware - while both are sold by BRS, the Drews Dosers are not the same as the BRS Dosing and Top Off pumps.

I've been running them for years, I'm on my 3rd pair. I sold the first with my old system, then I upgraded to the BRS 1.1/ml dosers to replace some older 1.5/ml. The 1.1/ml have worked great. Very happy with them. What I'm not happy with (anymore) is controlling them with my Acjr. The OSC function with a minimum of 1min intervals is creating some gaps in my ability to fine tune (to my now overly picky liking). In the past when I had a larger system it didn't matter as much since it took so much more 2 part to sway my parameters, and while yes I can sit there and make 12 different timer functions to do it, I choose to complain instead. Which is why I am thinking of switching to the GHL doser, the price dropped it's cheaper then an APEX. so I may just go that route.
Oh I am also using the larger BRS doser for my ATO.
