My Tank Thread
I burned out my first dosing head in under a month but that was dosing 5 times a day at high speed, 200mL at a time. GHL gave me a warranty replacement and recommend the much slower dosing rate and much more frequently. My understanding is that at the 2 slowest speeds the pump wear will be minimal. With the new head, slower rate, and increased number of smaller doses I have been running another month with no signs of an issue.How does dosing that often affect your dosing pump longevity?
But, at $7 per replacement head, it won't bother me to replace it once every month or two. They seem to think I should get 4 to 6 months out of each head.
