I love mine. Make sure you calibrate it to dispense the right amount. Well worth it for me.

Just got one and love it, make sure to calibrate it for accuracy. Well worth the price for a 4 head dosing pump.

I had one for a week. Initially out of the box, pump 1 did not work. A day later pump 3 would not hold its prime. End of the week I ended up with 2 BRS 1.1mL dosing pumps. Just my honest opinion, junk. They seem to be a 50/50 with good ones and bad ones. Unfortunately I ended up with a bad one. Also Jebao themselves DO NOT warranty them, it's up to the shop or online store to decide if they want to place a warranty on them. What kind of manufacturer does not warranty its stuff?, ask yourself that.

Nothing but good things to say here about DP4.

While I have heard the same thing, all my Jebao units I have bought from Amazon, easy returns on doa devices. Knock on wood 4 of 5 devices going strong.

Love mine! Running since 3/25/15 without a hitch straight outta the box. Just today compared the big 3 numbers for the last 3 months and the stability and balance has been amazing. My ALK hasn't varied from 9.0-9.1, Ca 430 and Mag 1360. My SPS couldn't be happier [emoji7]

I have 2 Jebao wp-10s that have been working close to a year now with no issues so I'm not bashing the company as a whole, just my personal experience with the DP-4 as a whole. Love the wave pumps just not a fan of the dosing pumps.

Did you guys use the liquid that you wanted to dose to calibrate each pump head or can I use water to calibrate and then run the pump in manual mode to prime the lines with my additives? Just wondering if running the pump in manual will affect the calibration.

I used the dosing product on both types of pumps. This way I didn't have to reprime. When I finished I just dumped the calibrated amount back into the jug.
