Has anyone ever bought one of these off of the Wish app.

A lot of people use Jebao. Not a fancy dosing pump by any means, but it seems to get the job done. I have a coral box, which is basically the WiFi version of a Jebao.

I use one and it does the job just fine. There are 2, 3 and four head versions for a better price on Amazon unless you need a 5 head.

I use one as well, like others have said not fancy but does the job. You need to double check the heads are on the correct way or they will stick and wearout fast.

I bought mine from Amazon for $60 shipped. I’ve been running it for just shy of a year and have had zero issues. Make sure you calibrate each channel when you set it up. I check my calibration every other month when I do all my pump and wave maker cleaning and so far it has stayed in calibration.

any other long term (> 1 year) users of this doser? I have been eyeing it for a while for my breeder build.

I may be getting one of these 2 or 3 pump dosers. Thinking about 3 part dosing instead of kalk.

Been dosing for year now with it, no issues. I calibrate every 4 months.

13 months and still running fine. I’ve had to recalibrate it twice in the 13 months of use. Neither time was it much off but I did it just to verify.

I used one initially, but ultimately switched it out for something else. There have definitely been some horror stories with them (especially with the version 1 units), but there are also plenty of people that haven't had any issues. One issue I noticed with mine is that it couldn't dose in 1ml increments properly, so I calibrated it at 50% and that did the trick. Overall, it was a decent doser for my use initially.

With that being said, I wouldn't trust this unit at all without some type of failsafe in place. I refuse to lose thousands of dollars in livestock to a $60 doser. For me, this was as simple as only providing the outlet with power for 12 seconds at a clip at my dosing intervals. It takes about 5 seconds to power up, 5 seconds to dose my increments, then another 2 seconds for buffer. It has an internal battery, so the doser will retain the current time, even after coming back on. This doesn't make it a perfect solution by any stretch, but I'd much rather have it miss a dose than dump a gallon of alk into my reef.
