Hi there!
I’m new to the saltwater/reefing community and am looking for advice and/or long term success stories (or failures! ) when using the Kamoer F1 Dosing Pump for ATO and AWC. I am currently running 1 Kamoer F1 for ATO, dosing approximately 1/2 gallon of RODI per day over a 10 hour period to account for evaporation. So far it has been working flawlessly…. BUT it’s only been about 2 months and I am concerned about the life expectancy of the pump given that I am using it for a higher volume of liquid than its intended purpose. Since it has been working so well and it was extremely easy to set up (and less expensive than many other ATO/AWC options), I decided to pick up 2 more to set up an AWC system. Part of me is concerned that in my efforts to go a less expensive route that it may end up costing more in the long run with either replacing the pumps every 2-3 months or failures causing unforeseen water leaks/damage . If anyone has experience (good or bad) using these dosing pumps for ATO and/or AWC, I’d appreciate the feedback!
Thank you!!
