Thanks for that Andrew very helpful and totally agree one less thing to do and gives more time to enjoy the aquarium.Hi @Deano3 - you say pumpS as in more than one?
I say this as if you need more than one channel then look at the versions which offer this, both from this line and others which could possibly be better value for money.
D-D are a big name in aquatics and this pump is one they have built with Kamoer who are known for quality products so essentially it's a Kamoer pump with D-D putting their name on it which is something they are known for.
I wouldn't worry about what @Alex Papp says; you can buy spare dosing pump heads which normally just clip on/off so no worries there, pipes should always be full due to the way the pump works, they are intended to be used and not just have solution sat in them but I have always flushed my pipes through with some warm water from time to time which is easy to do. The silicone tube used in the pump head will be a premium grade and what you connect to it is upto you, whether that's platinum cured silicone tubing or a simple food grade one (appropriate for the chemical you are using).
Why try remembering to dose your tank when a simple device can do it for you, more time to just enjoy the aquarium.
Not something I would expect with a doser from a company like this and at this price point, would certainly make me reconsider this as an option.The only negatives that i can think of is that:
1) if theres a power cut you have to connect to the doser to ge it to resume the programme but it doesn't seem to forget your setting which is good.
2) the doser seems to dose 1m later each day, so by the end of the week the dosers will probably dose about 4-5mins late because it doesn't have an "internal clock" and syncs it's time with your phone every time you connect.

I think we will agree to disagree here @Sammy Islam - I just think that this being sold as a premium product should have an internal clock, for me the doser is about having something reliable I can just leave to get on with things and not have to check on it. I get power cuts quite often, even these days which has been put down to all the new housing going on around us. I've never had this feature missing from dosers I've owned in the past.
The hobby for me is more pointing in the direction of minimum effort, maximum reward as time goes on.
Only from my experience, these days you should be able to hook them upto WiFi and have remote control etc in my opinion, surely?I guess now you've said most dosers continue like normal after power cuts it is a bummer.
Has anyone experience of the Jebao 3.1 or 3.4 doser? the 3.1 seems a very similar looking product but this is what Jecod/Jebao do best. I know it uses direct WiFi connection and not bluetooth (not remote WiFi from a quick look)

I've aired my view, shame really as I was looking at this product.

Thanks for the link, I did find it but always easier if you link it in a thread.From my own experience, when i unplugged the device it seemed to resume the dosing at the correct time when I replugged the device, thou I also assume that my setting are saved in the app, so every time I re-connect to device it probably update the settings.
