Mounting Dosing Pump Vertically

[Just_Pete]

Has anyone ever mounted their dosing pump vertically? Like pictured...

Real estate is tight under the sump, it is what it is. But I could save some space IF I could get away mounting it this way.

If you unclip each dosing head (white bits) you can turn them and have the sync the same position.

I dont see why not. Only issue I could potentially see is it's going to be a pain to disconnect and reconnect hoses mounted like that.

That won’t be a problem, it will work just fine.
@hotashes is right, unclip the heads and rotate them if you want.

Fantastic! I didn't see it at first but the heads can rotate as the clip position is 12, 3, 6, 10.

Thanks guys!

Sweet. I have the exact doser and haven’t yet installed it for the very same reason. Good to know.

no issue with vertical. The fluid is drawn through rotation and not free flowing.

How are you going to mount it there? Bracket , screw holes? Im asking because i am about to attemp same thing with same one.

If you guys need it they also sell on amazon a dosimg pump shelf that fits this doser.

I had two metal bracket lying around that I used to support the doser from the bottom. I then used velcro straps that I stapled to the wall and wrapped around the doser. I'll take a pic when i get home to better explain.

Dang thanks for the info didn't know they could be mounted like this

If you pull the rubber feet out you can use the holes to mount it with screws, also I had mine mounted side ways make sure to calibrate it in that position to be consistent.
