Dosing pump

[Chris A.]

My doser just came in and now I need some tubing. Is it the same as airline tubing or something specific?

I've used rodi tubing and airline tubing.

just go to hd and get the icemaker tubin stuff

 

[jah-hoeva]

Yup. It's the same size as rodi tubing. I use that because it's pretty rigid and I use pushlok fittings from my containers to my pump. It's also transparent which helps me keep an eye on the tubing for bubbles. From the pump to the sump I use clear air line tubing.

 

[this is me]

Yup, any of those tubing would be fine. However, the head requires a specific tubing but that should be included in the doser unit.

 

[Chris A.]

The head one is there
I have airline tubing already so I'll just use that

 

[jah-hoeva]

Just be careful for kinks using the airline tubing.

 

[Chris A.]

Thx for the heads up

I just sent back two DP1 dosing pumps because they were losing siphon and not working consistently. I use the 1/4 line tubing from home depot I wonder if that was actually my issue. It is like the harder white tubing. Oh well I am just gonna order the Jebao one for cheaper anyway...

I got the jebao dp4
Haven't even powered it up yet.
Have a lot to do on the tank this weekend.
