Dosing pumps

[bknapp]

Does anyone use dosing pumps? What kinds have you had good luck with. Going to use it with BRS two part. Thanks for any input.

Good: BRS 2 Part Doser (1.1 mL Per Minute) - English
Better: Bubble Magus Dosing Pump BM-T01 - English
Best: SPECTRAPURE LITERMETER III

Thanks. Can you shed any light on why one is better than the other?

The BRS do a good job, but you do need your own controller.

One Chris did not mention is the standalone Profilux. it is an excellent unit as well and if memory serves it allows for a lower min dosage than the LMIII. LMIII is min 10ml I believe. It warrants investigation to your choice imo as well.

LMI is considered as one of the best because they have a great track record from folks who have had them 5+ years, as long as you annually replace the tubing per the manufacturers recommendation.

The bubble doser has very economical replacement pumps (something like 15 bucks) if one ever fails.

Thanks. Something more to consider.

these are new: I thought about trying it out. Decent price, and I trust SWC. Only risk is that they are new. but they seem to build things off of proven designs.
