I have had great success with my Jebao dp-4. Easy to use and program. Not too expensive either. I have since ditched that since buying an Apex. If you have an Apex then Dos is the way to go. Super easy to use and very accurate

If you don’t have an APEX, next best is the Ecotech Versa pumps.

I also run a BRS pump and a Kaomer BT, not as accurate but definitely get the job done on the cheap.

PS... I’ve found in this hobby accuracy is a relative term. I don’t dose anything into my tank that would cause a problem if it was off by 0.5ml

No doesn’t link to phone but super easy to program. There is a good video online that shows exactly how to program.

Some dosing doesn't need to be accurate, just repeatable. I dose triton on 4 apex controlled brs pumps. Target 8 dkh, so adjust the timers a little if off. I fill the dosing containers to the same level and make sure they empty at the same rate.
