what bugs? The leaking fittings are the only issue we have experienced and has subsequently been solved. Fewer than 3% of customers from the first shipments experienced this.

The leaking fittings was what I was talking about. I hadn't heard a thing about it being solved, just seeing new videos popping up daily lately. That's what made me hold off. I like Ecotech gear, have lots of it. Sorry.
Yes, I use them for awc, 5 gallons a day.
2 weeks, 2.5 GPD no issues.

would you mind sharing how you set this up? Do you have them both set to take/add x amount during the same time period?
For now I have them set for constant AWC at 6.6 mL/min pulling out of my salt mix station and discharging to my sink drain. Water goes in my 1st sump compartment and new salt water in my last. Used some tubing suction cups to secure the dirty water inlet in the sump.
I calibrated using the tubing that is currently used for the AWC system (full lengths).
I am transfer my Apex to a new build. Once I do I will program 2 changes per day at 1.5 gallon each. Then plug the Vesra into my powerbar and setup some safeties (low/high sump level, salt concentration etc..).

So I never thought they you need to use the exact same length of tubing for this. Thank you for the information - going to work on setting this up. I see so many uses and the Mobius app is perfect for everything I’m thinking of.
You don't need to use exact lengths of tubing, the beauty of calibration is that once you have the pumps in place and tubes ran, all you have to do is calibrate each pump... and you'll be in business
Sorry for the confusion. Yes, just calibrate once you have your tubes ran for the most accurate dosing.

Been doing daily AWC with my versa pumps of between 2 to 4 gallons over 6 hours for the past month. LOVE IT. A couple of small bugs that customer service took care of. FAR superior to apex doS for AWC greater then 3 gallons.

Thanks!
There is no specific - AWC tool in the Mobius app so I assume you are just taking out and adding the same amount?

Same amount in and out over the same time period. Put the "intake to tank" near the main return pump. Put the "out take of dirty water" far away upstream from return pump.
