Update-

if we get more than 5 units- US$25
if we get more than 10 units- US$20

shipping for 5 is about $30
shipping for 10 is the same. so the more we order the cheaper they are.


If your not too handy I can explain how to use them accurately, all you need is a decent timer. great for kalk dosing, 2 part dosing, ato, anything that needs an accurate and slow dose.

I could be interested.. what brand are they? Quiet?

I wish I knew about this, as I just got a BRS doser for my ATO this weekend. It's a nice pump, but about 4 x the price!

 

[phi delt reefer]

more specs blob and i might be interested.

They have the generic ones on ebay for pretty cheap

need to know
max head (in feet)
parts availability - specifically tubing/bearings/rollers
12vDC or 120vAC?
with or without housing?
pictures would be nice
warranty? (dont expect one at that price but a good to know )

 

[Blob-79]

what you linked is just the head. looks like the same head though.

Here is a link, its 12vdc, so an adapter will be needed, but thats nothing.
head height...who knows, if they keep their prime(which im sure they will), then really the skies the limit, if they dont...
ill have to look into part availability

[illpanteraa]

count me in for 1 also  may be 2

 

[Blob-79]

k I changed my first post to be a list of people that are in. If you are not on that list, and want to be please pm me or just reply on this thread. the goal is 10 or more. Also please let me know how many you want.

 

[teebone110]

Hey Blob,

I think I will pass for now, let me know how these work out for you!
Thanks for the offer.

 

[phi delt reefer]

blob  - any chance we could get a pic or find out how many mL it doses per min? (ie. BRS Dosing pump doses either 50mL/min or 1.1mL/min depending on the unit/application)

doubt head height would be infinite but i would guess 20 feet like other dosers. 

Is it possible to order extra parts during the intial order?

I will take 3 if we order on June 3

 

[Blob-79]

the flow on the pumps are .1ml - 100ml per minute. being run by DC they have alot of flexibility. Ill see about the parts.

june 3? shouldnt be a problem.

 

[Blob-79]

added you to the list phi.

Update-we can get speed control and dc adapters for the units, plus a case to hold the pump...for $5 more dollars...u guys interested? imo its a no brainer lol

 

[Blob-79]

also I will be ordering some bulk hosing for replacement...its cheep too..cant remember..I think $5 for a meter of it

 

[marks69]

i'll take one and the case.

 

[phi delt reefer]

yea for 5 bucks why not.

also the hosing is just for the pump right? we connect our own "extensions" via some barb fittings? or is the hosing just a single length that goes from our liquid, to the pump then to the tank?

 

[Blob-79]

I supose you could do it however you wanted if you buy enouph hosing..typically you just use a short piece of silicon tube in the pump itself. then connect to that via barb fittings.

 

[xxmurrxx]

With this deal would the shipping be to one address or could we get it sent directly to each of us?

 

[Blob-79]

sadly no this isnt one of those type deals. Was planning on getting it shipped to me, and plan some meetups

 

[Blob-79]

I wasnt planning on asking for any pre payments or anything.....hoping were all good people i guess

 

[phi delt reefer]

if i were you i would ask for 50% deposit. Too many people back out of group buys. If they back out its pretty easy to sell off a pump at $12

as mentioned before i will be ready to order (ie. pay in full) on JUNE 3)

also - do you know if the pump heads are service-able - like so; http://glassbox-design.com/2010/profilux-doser-maintenance-cleaning-pump-heads/


i found intermatic timers at Dollarama for $2.00 i think if anyone is interested go pick em up. I was going to order a new RKL powerbar but thats $100 vs $10

 

[blaked]

im sick of not being able to go on long fishing trips just to top off my tank lol
is this pump the whole unit ( Minus the dc pwr suply) ?
