What do you use to hold your dosing pumps and modules?

I have a GHL system with KH Director and dosing pumps. It’s a lot of modules in one stack and it’s just sat on top of the reagent containers.

Any time I get a leak, it’s dripping over each unit. Not great!

I’m thinking of making a shelf with plastic bottoms. If I make the shelves on a slight incline, and have a leak detector behind, anytime they leak it will warn me.

Anyone got any ideas what materials I can use?

I got lucky and found these trays. They are the perfect size.

I’m hoping these will work:


I’m thinking of tilting them slightly back, then drilling holes at the back so any water will drop down and at the bottom having a leak sensor. That way I can tell if anything Leaks.

Maybe look for art suppliers who sell that brand of ink tray, or look for trays that are that dimensions.

Where did you find those trays?
I found them at my local Meijer store. They where on the clearance rack back with the dinnerware and silverware. I think they are supposed to be an appetizer tray, maybe even a desert tray. I bought 10 of them because I thought they looked about the right size and they where $1.99. I wish I would have bought all they had because they ended up being the perfect size.

I just want to chime in and say.... you have a lot of dosing pumps :eek:
That’s not really that many to be honest. Lol. Kh Director has 4 dose heads then just another doser. Than the maxi doser I assume for AWC. Will add another 4 head doser if he gets an Ion Director. There are others on here with a lot more. That’s why GHL has to expand the software to allow more than 16 doser heads.
