I currently have the Jebao 4 head very cheap doser it gets the job done but can be somewhat unreliable and Ive already had one head fail completely. Do you guys have any good suggestions that are slightly better? I can't spend a whole lot more but def dont want to have to worry about it when I go out of town. I appreciate your help!
 
I've had my kamoer doser for about 5 years now, it still works perfectly.
 
The Jebao Doser is a complete mixed bag of good or bad. I talked to someone who has over 50 of them in action on client tanks and he said they keep extra heads on hand at all times and replace all head annually no matter what.

Seems like way too much work to save a few bucks IMO

BRS Drews Doser has been awesome for two decades. Just need a reliable timer
