Does anyone put grease on the kamoer x1 pump heads? Mine is a little loud and I wanted to grease it but can’t find anything about it, full disclosure it’s not exactly the kamoer x1 but the pump head is exactly the same
 
I don’t think the drive spindle is press fitted. There should be a set screw to hold it in place

The head is just 3 floating wheels set in the protective tube housing. Even a drop of water on the wheels transfers to the spindle, preventing drive. I’ve had it happen on the DD version of the X1.
 
Idk what doser he has but he referenced kamoer I don’t have one. But that’s what I used on my doser
 
I wouldn’t. If you get it on the drive spindle it will slip.
I’m just going to put it on the tubing then so that doesn’t happen, the spindle kind of looks like the GHL doser 2.1 setup

Here's a kamoer pump head. The motor shaft just gets stuffed in there and it directly drives the wheels that are in contact with the tubing. If grease gets on those wheels, the motor shaft it going to slip. On something like a Versa, the wheels are in contact with the tubing but aren't anywhere near the motor shaft, so grease on the wheels isn't going to transfer itself to the shaft (which I suspect it splined anyways).
 
I added a small amount of grease on the tubing it seems to be working out good, if it slips what will happen?
 
The motor shaft will spin without driving the wheels and it won't move anything through the tube.
It seems quieter and it seems to be working fine, I didn’t put very much on there, just enough to keep it from squeaking
 
Did the noise go away? Just keep an eye on your dosing additives and your perimeters
