Litermeter 3 for larger volume water changes?

[BZOFIQ]

Well, either back to drawing board or litermeter is no more - it's a shame, such great product.

This is under product page

and this is under spare parts.

That is to bad. That is what I went with and it is going to suck if I can not get parts any more. I did have trouble with two of the three controllers I have received so maybe they pulled them while investigating a quality issue.

I need to replace the tubing in mine, the website still doesn't have any. Any suggestions?

They discontinued making the parts for it. If you reach out to them, they’ll be able to supply you with one, but probably only for a limited time and $70+.

Did they tell you that?

In reference to tubing for the Litermeter G7 dosing pump, which I believe was their most recent model. I decided not to purchase the $70+ tubing for it. I ended up just purchasing a diaphragm pump from Avaste Marine for $49 and removing the Litermeter altogether. Charging $70+ for a 6” piece of tubing is just wrong and not a company that I want to support or do business with.

Thanks.

Avast diaphragm pump has been out of stock for months. I asked an ETA. It's unknown right now given a supplies shortage. That will likely be my replacement for spectrapure when they're back.

I went litermeter for the ease of plugging into my tunze ato. Is there a reason tubing used in other paristaltic pumps would work?

Google it, I believe there was a thread on RC about it.

Yeah I was just reading all of it. Looking at the options on the site you linked. Which type did you go with from that website?

I ordered 25' of PharMed tubing specifically made for paristaltic pumps and says it lasts 30x longer than silicone tube. If anyone wants to buy some send me a message.

I ordered some of this tubing to try. I hope this and some spare rollers i have for my pumps gets me by or at least pushes my decision point out longer. I do not want to put another method in place but I did order a GHL Maxi doser to try if needed.

Very interested in seeing how the maxi works out.

Looks like parts and pumps are back in stock, perhaps one should not write them off just yet.

 

[t5Nitro]

Awesome. Thanks for the follow up in this thread.

Why not use a Stenner double head pump?

That is good. I am still using three for my AWC system and one for my ATO reservoir refill.
