I tried using my GHL doser to run my GEO reactor. It would run for about 9 mins on, then turn off for a minute or two. It would do this 150x per day.
I would end up with c02 build up in the reactor. Every day or two it would be built up and the pump would start chopping bubbles and become very noisy.
I'd have to shut down, shake the reactor and let the bubbles escape out the top with the effluent.
So I don't think the SpectraPure would work either if you can't leave it running 24/7. At least with Geo.

I’ve had the Kaomer for over 2 years. I want a spare but can’t find. I have some friends that are using a single head Stenner pump for CaRx with good success. Those are industrial chemical pumps. I use the double head pump for Automatic water changes successfully for at least 4 years now.
