Need help with Bubble Magus dosing pump

srpntmage · May 30, 2016

Hello, I just got a Bubble Magus TS1 dosing pump to dose 4ml of Red Sea NoPOX once a day into my 29g biocube. The instructions are beyond worthless. Do I need to prime the line? It looks like I just set it to "4" and sometime during the day/night it spits out 4ml? Right?

I would prime it to get the air out of the line. If not the first few doses you may just get air and not the liquid.
Yes you set for 4 ml dose and then you set how many doses to do it. You also set the start time
If you set for 4 then set 4 with a start time of 1am. You will get 1ml 4 times a day. 1am, 7am, 1pm, 7pm
If you set it for 4 then 2 with a start time of 1am. You will get 2ml 2 times a day. 1am, 1pm
If you set it for 12 then 4 with a start time of 1am. You will get 3ml 4 times a day. 1am, 7am, 1pm, 7pm

As far as I can tell, on this unit there is only one parameter to change. a number 1-999ml which is the dose. There is a table to tell how this dose is split up, but I don't see anywhere to set what time it doses.

The Dosing pump I have is the TS1, the single head stand alone model. The instructions you posted are for the T01 model which is totally different. This one only has a manual button, up and down buttons and a screen that only goes from 1-999. I have it set to 4, which is supposed to dose 4ml once a day, but I am getting nothing. I can't figure if it is a priming problem or if I am doing something wrong.

Sorry, I did not know they had a single unit. Hope this helps.

For the TS1
Looks like you just need to set the amount you want to dose. It breaks up the number of doses depending on the amount.
If you put in 10 it will make one 10ml dose once a day
If you put in 24 it will dose 6ml four times each day
If you put in 70 it will dose 7ml tem times each day

If you hold down the Manual button does it work? If so hold it down till the liquid you are dosing comes out to prime the pump.

This is what I found online:
