Hi All. I wanted to share my brief thoughts on the kamoer f4 WiFi doser.
It’s a 4 head dosing pump - it doesn’t have a display so it is meant to be solely controlled via WiFi.

The video below has an in-depth review, but I’ll rehash the main points here:
Pros:
Compact
WiFi
4 pumps
Easy to connect and control
Calibrate-able
Fairly accurate and consistent (I tested it at 2 mls and 1ml)
Good price for 4 dosing pump
Feels very heavy duty, unlike my other bubble magus doser, which has a cheap plastic feel

Cons:
Nonstandard tubing: 3 mm ID 5 mm ID.
No supplied mounting brackets
Instruction on app are awful
English website is down... and can’t seem to download pc software [emoji35]

Hope you found this helpful!

Great job on the video and thanks for sharing.

What was the cost for your 4 head doser and can you buy extra non-standard tubing?

Was about $300 Canadian, same price I paid for the 3 head BM doser (non WiFi). I briefly searched Amazon and found 3mm/5mm Id/od but I connected one head with regular tubing I got for the bubble magus doser and it worked... not as snug but certainly useable

@GoVols

BRS Drews doser tubing has the right ID and thick walls making the OD the same as standard dosing tubing/RO line so you can insert it into their DIY dosing container bulkheads or other standard reservoirs. I am about to switch from BRS dosing pumps and will be able to use the same reservoirs this way.

Cool thanks, got any pics of it? I'm probably going to build one as well.

If you have a look at the review video listed above again, you’ll see the diy shelf at about 7:57. Alas, I don’t have any detailed pics of the shelf’s but it’s a pretty simple design

I just got the polystyrene sheets (about 3/16” thick). Made the measurements. To the cut plastic, simply score the polystyrene with an exacto knife and snap the plastic along the scored edges. Use a good plastic glue to put the sheets together. After the glue cures, drill a couple of little holes in the plastic so you can screw the unit to the cabinet

Ps. Sorry, it’s difficult to remove all of the tubing and the doser to take pics of the shelf

No worries, I get how to put it together on that level I just meant more specifically what the pieces looked like/size. Nvm though I just made one out of wood : )

I bought this doser, seems very accurate but one thing I can't find where to set the date/time ?!?

Anyone know if it will pull my cellphone time or something like that ?

Thanks
