Hey everyone!

I've been reading descriptions on new dosing pumps before I buy but some aren't specific enough so I need some advice from actual users.

I am looking for a dosing pump that will allow me to set a dosing schedule that will not automatically break up the doses evenly throughout the day. I want to be able to dose heavier at night. So I'd like the ability to create 24 doses per day but also customize each individual dose.

I just can't handle my Kamoer anymore due to the app. Do I have any alternatives?

I recently purchased three kamoer F1 pumps to dose alk on three tanks. To say the app is disappointing is giving too much credit. I finaly got one working kind of but its going on the shelf with other why did I buy this equipment and the other 2 are being returned.

First it was the timeout issues, now it's giving password errors (i know my password) and when I give up and try to reset it bc that's the only option, it doesn't even send the SMS code after you click the button.

The only thing I can suggest is to use two Dosers to do that. Use a Plug in Timer to shut one off during the day. I see plenty of the Non-WiFi Non- Bluetooth ones on Craig’s List and Facebook Marketplace.

For me it was setting the schedule. Sometimes it would take when I applied it other times not. Much of the time the app would not respond at all. I didn't even know it had the ability to message. I got too frustrated just trying to set up a schedule to even explore any other features.
I have been dosing manually on 3 tanks and just wanted the ability to be away longer than 24 if the need arises. Fortunately I only dose 2 part and just alk on 2 out of 3 tanks so its not difficult for me.

Try this for a reset/boot. Hold the Reset Button in, unplug the Doser. Slowly count to Ten, and plug the Doser Back in while the Reset Button is held in. Release the Reset, and check.
