I find myself planning to purchase a solid, reasonably reliable, 4 channel dosing pump. I’ve heard a lot of horror stories regarding dosing pumps, but I realize that when you hear about something it’s at least 10x more likely to be a negative story. Also, nothing risked nothing gained.

Thus I ask, what are some dosing pumps everyone would recommend? I’m looking at the kamoer f4 pro, but I’m always open other options. I don’t have a controller right now but I’m planning on going with either apex or hydros (idk if a lack of a controller would make a difference.

anyway, thanks to everyone who gives some recommendations!
 
G’day I have the kamoer f4 not the pro and it has been dosing 100ml per day on 3 channels for a year with no problems and maintains very good accuracy. Easy setup, very happy.
