I absolutely love this thing. Its super easy to program and its works like a champ. The downside, its loud. Inside the guts, an electric motor runs a set of 2 planetary gears that then runs the dosing head. If anyone has ever been around plastic planetary gears (think rear window of late '80's Broncos) then you know what I mean. The pump is in great shape and works great, its just too loud for my living room. I run NPS so I dose for 40 seconds every hour so its going off all the time. It will work great for someone that uses a fish room, or doesn't mind the sound. I do have the fittings, just forgot to pull them off the lines in my sump for the pic, but they will be included.
It will dose from 1 second to 19min59sec, up to 24 times a day. At 1 min it will do about 222ml. I had it doing 116ml every 40 seconds, but of course calculate your exact needs. Id like $45 shipped. PP only and I am firm on the price. (Ive already bought the replacement pump and timer)
Manual that explains it all.

If the plate above uses the tradional date stamp, them I am guessing it from 08-11-2006. It was made in US, but you never know company to company. Im not sure of the height. I used it on about 30" or so and didnt have problems.
The pump has been sold though. Thanks for the interest.
