Besides the jebao dp-4, what other options do i have for dosing pump thats reliable and easy on the pocket. Thanks

I haven't used them but the kamoer x1 seem to have a fairly good reputation. They are cheap, although not jebao cheap.

I want at least 3-4 heads. Is that a single head pump?

The x1 is a single head pump. For multi head pumps there are very limited option that are cheap besides jebao.
I was looking at getting the jebao but I saw a few reviews saying that wouldn't shut off and that has scared me away from jebao dosers. Those reviews are probably rare occurances but a single device that can basically wipe out a tank if it fails makes me uncomfortable

Following along as have a new 25 nano tank and desire a doser in the near future. Seems kinda difficult to find a reliable doser that doesnt run into the thousands $ with a controller. Have been thinking about the Kamoer F4, but understand lots of connectivity issues.

I run four Kamoer x1, and love them so far. Its pretty much plug and play. Super easy to program on your phone. Also, you can daisy chain four Kamoer x1's together. They even come with the connector wires. So they only use ONE power plug.

I considered the kamoer x1 but I don't like that they don't automatically resume after the power goes out. Then I looked at the kamoer x1 pro 2 which fixes that issue but they are supposedly hard to get setup if your router doesn't separate the 5ghz and 2.4 ghz bands, which mine doesn't.

My DP4 has been reliable, 4 years pushing Alk,CA,Mg and Nopox. Seems some work forever and some fail fast, maybe a QA thing at the point of manufacture.

On the jebao, there is a slim version 3.4. which is wifi controlled from your phone and is reliable. I had mine for over a year trouble free prior to going with Bubble Magnus and now APES DOS

On the jebao 3.4 do you happen to know if it will automatically resume its schedule if the power turns off?

Jebao 2.4 wifi doser. Similar to the 3.4 wifi doser but also includes physical controls on the doser itself. The 3.4 doser doesn't have any control pad on the doser itself, so it can only be programmed via the app. The 3.4 doser can be programmed via the app or the control pad on the doser itself.

I too run 4 Kamoers and love them as I have no WiFi in my rural setting and the Bluetooth I face is simple and straightforward

The only advantage I see of the 3.4 over the 2.4 is that it is smaller. For me space is a huge issue for my stand.
