BRS 50ml dosing pump reliability?

[lagoonlife]

Who’s ran these pumps for more than two years (their warranty)?
I set two up for continuous water changes on a small 26 gallon system so they only run about 22 minutes each day.
I want to buy two more for my 160 gallon system to do 10% weekly continuous water changes, but obviously that’s a lot more run time.
Open to any comments or better alternatives. Just looking for something cheaper than the Neptune DOS if they all are going to have issues.

Those brs pumps are as reliable as it gets. Just keep spare pump head tubes available.

They are reliable, but not built for AWC type applications.

They make them sound pretty beefy,
20ft head pressure and 12 month tube life at 4 hours runtime a day. If they’re using 4 hour run time as an example I hope it can handle that with about 20 minutes cool down periods in between.
although I realize they’re lesser quality and more simplistic.
