Been using them for six months By JBarnes on 11/4/11
JBarnes would recommend this product to a friend
I've had two of these pumps in operation for six months now with no problems. They are a great way to automate a task that most folks don't do on a regular basis. I'm using my APEX to control them. I've not had a problem using them on non-relayed outlets as some reviewers have noted.

Pump for 2 part solution By Todd on 10/28/11
Todd would recommend this product to a friend
I, like many, were dosing 2 part to start out with daily. I finally purchased just one of these to try it out. Callibrated it, spot on out of the box! 1.1 ML. Been dosing Alk with it all week. Spot on. Easy- love it! I will be purchasing another one next week for my Calc. Easy to adjust, well built, another great product from BRS! Love these guys, they are always helpful and the videos are awesome for a newer person to the hobby. Thanks BRS

Set up took less than 10 minutes. Works great. Just be aware the only way to adjust the dosing is through a timer.

I just got two of these pumps to dose two part. Tested them and both do 1.1ml/min.
Mounting in the cabinet was a breeze. They are also very quite and a great price!!!

Great Pump By David on 10/8/11
David would recommend this product to a friend
This pump is great, Only two issues.....when used with a Neptune apex use one of the physical relay switches (4 & 8) on the EB-8. The energy use is so low on the other outlets it tends to stay on very slow. I also put a rubber mat under the pump because I did notice a slight vibration when the pump is running.

great product By Craig on 9/22/11
Craig would recommend this product to a friend
Using these for a little over 1 month to dose calcium and alk with BRS 2 Part. They are controlled by digital garden timers set to dose 8 times a day. It only took a couple of days to raise Ca++ to 420 and alk to 9 and the levels haven't varied since. Light weight but seem to be sturdy. Easy to set up.

Great Pump By David on 9/2/11
David would recommend this product to a friend
I use three of these pumps...2-1.1ml for dosing calcium and alk, 1-50 ml for auto topoff. I use my Neptune Apex to control the pumps. They pumps are great. The only problems I have had are a squeaky noise that comes out of them when they are running, I wonder if some sort of lubricant can be used to stop the squeak. I also recommend using outlets 4 & 8 on the EB-8 or using an EB-4 because they are relay outlets on the Apex. The non-relay switches remained on because the pump uses such little power.

Up and running in minutes By Richard on 7/30/11
Richard would recommend this product to a friend
Can't say enough good things about this product. Please don't even think about starting this hobby without budgeting for dosers, like the BRS. The price/value equation on this item is perfect. Very easy to set up, and with all the help and advice available on the BRS website, you will have your key levels locked in quickly. Well made from solid materials.

Very Positive By Radiata on 7/20/11
Radiata would recommend this product to a friend
Put my third BRS 2 Part Doser (1.1 mL Per Minute) on -line today. If you're considering a Drew's Doser (at 1.5 ml per minute), forget-about-it! (1) this doser comes with a mounting bracker and (2) this doser has a threaded design for attaching the tubing (vodka can make a slip on connection slip - I once dosed a liter of vodka into my system when the connection to a doser slipped off) and (3) the 1.1 vs. 1.5 is mode granular. The extra money is worth it!

seems like my entire reef club uses these for two part and I can see why, they are built like a tank and the drip rate is perfect for two part..

for low duty cycle only! By mjd on 7/4/11
mjd wouldn't recommend this product to a friend
I bought a pair of these to dose my 2 part. I have now replaced them both with Drews Dosers. A number of problems occured - firstly, the santoprene tubing split open after approx 9-12 months.. I had a heck of a time finding a replacement. Once I did, the replacement wasn't an exact match and the tube was slightly smaller, making it nearly impossible to make a good seal.
the second issue is the plastic hub that turns the rollers cracked, and the shaft started slipping, and the rollers stopped moving. I tried fixing with crazy glue, then polyurethane glue, then with a small metal hose clamp, and finally gave up and switched to drews doser pumps. no more headaches!

Reliable and quiet By Gil on 5/18/11
Gil would recommend this product to a friend
Hooked these up to my Aquacontroller and has been working great for the past few months. Be careful tho. If you're using an old DC8, this unit will not switch off even if you use outlets 4 and 8. I learned the hard way and dumped a gallon of calcium into my tank.
I have it dosing for 10 minutes every hour for 16 hours and it keeps my ph nice and steady.

Not Bad By Flipside on 4/22/11
Flipside would recommend this product to a friend
Never had any problems. Been running them for over a year now. IMO, they are pretty pricey for a single pump, especially considering all the new pump systems coming out these days (with multiple pumps and timers/cpu's incorporated into their designs).

Awesome doser By ben on 4/11/11
ben would recommend this product to a friend
Bought this for calcium and alkalinity dosing because i have seen what happens when calcium reactors go haywire and dump all of the co2 out in one day, everything turns green. Besides that i don't know how to set a calcium reactor up even if i could afford it. I am going to buy one for magnesium next. I run for 35 minutes a day on my 60 gallon.

I ordered 2 of these pumps about 3 years ago. They have been running flawlessly since day 1. I use them with a Neptune and split my dosing up over 6 times a day for super stability of parameters. Great Pumps!
