Pouring gasoline on the fire...
When I first saw the video linked below, I said to myself "WOW! I've got to switch my current dosers over to these dosers ASAP!". The video was made by
Reef Builders' Jake Adams on 10/30/19 and is entitled "
Ecotech Marine Versa Dosing Pump, How it's Made". The video shows Tim, at Echotech Marine, demonstrating how they build the doser, step-by-step. Tim is apparently the chief engineer at Echotech. And, I loved the video enough to put their dosers on my bucket list for hardware reefer upgrading...
Here's the video:
In the early part of the video, Jake says he'll that the dosers were being built
"from scratch". I inferred from this that the doser was entirely built in the USA from parts made by Echotech. Some have claimed, earlier in this thread, that there were non-Echotech supply chain problems with the build that have caused production delays. The only non-Echotech parts I could glean from the above thread came from the printing of the circuit board, which was apparently done by a 3rd party. The circuit boards themselves were further populated with electronic parts by Echotech on their own assembly line. I was given no other reason to believe that any of Versa's other parts came from 3rd party sourcing.
Two months ago I posted the following on
YouTube after the video post "Anyone know when these will be available gain?" The only reply was a "
LIKE" posted by
Reef Builders.
So, I'm willing to defer my earlier conclusions that a
Versa Version 2 is in the works if any of you previous nay-sayers can support your allegations that Echotech is having supply-chain issues. Do you have any posted evidence that you are correct in your beliefs
That said,
One never knows, do one ???
