Does anyone sell a reliable drip system today? I’m looking for something with a needle valve not the standard tube pinch roller thing (don’t know the name). I can build my own but was hoping to get a kit.

BRS has a kit with a small ball valve but ball valves are not reliable at micro dosing.

You likely need to look at hydroponics sites for this.
 
What are you trying to drip?

I used the drip method on my carx and it varies.

Installed a Kamoer pump and now no more adjusting.

Peristaltic pump set to drip is your best bet, imo.

I'm dripping Lanthanum Chloride (phosphate remover) and want to drip 5ml mixed with a gallon of RO water over say a 4 hour period. With the pinch thing it only works for like an hour before the tube just closes up and stops dripping. I have dosing pumps but I don't want to run them or configure them to run off and on for that amount of time.
