Kamoer 5 channel dosing pump F05X

jythong · 09/15/2015, 08:24 AM

Kamoer has recently come up with a 5 channel pump and what attracted me to it is that it is supposed to include auto topoff. However I am unable to find more information about this function, basically how it is integrated to the 5 channels. I have contacted Kamoer but was asked to check with the distributor, who is not very clear too.
Anyone has used the 5 channel F05X? If so can share your experiences with it? Thanks.

I am hopefully getting one in the next couple of weeks. I know there was a reef builders article on them.

Deepwater Aquatics is the distributor. They are also the same company as Salty Supply. This pump is still in beta. I would have bought it had it been ready for release as well.

That is weird my lfs contacted there distributor about a week ago and said he would have them in two weeks and I am up in Canada. Now I am wondering if anything is really coming.

Over here in Singapore it has been put up for sale by the distributor but not sure if there is stock and not much is known about the ATO function. I downloaded the instruction manual and it seems that the 5 channel dosing and ATO are are separate articles. The ATO is described as a "sixth external pump". How it fits into the overall device is unknown.
Anyway since not much information is available ( even my local distributor don't know much) , I will probably get a 3 channel dosing plus Tunze Osmolater as I will be away from home for a while in four weeks.

If its like the Kore 5th I have that has an ATO built in, there are two ports on the back of the doser, one for the small dc pump and one for the float switch. I guess it would be three ports if you use the optical sensor as a redundancy but I just use the float switch that has a high and low level. All 5 channels are still accessible, at least on mine but I imagine the Kamoer will function the same way.

Hillarious, its a complete rip off of Kore 5th and its more expensive. You can get a kore 5th for 350 bucks

trueperc · 09/16/2015, 06:47 AM

I believe from what I read is that with the two larger stepper motors you can use for an ATO or an AWC, with the kore 5th which I was considering you have attached water pumps to do these functions. This unit is more like using there old 3 pump set up in combo with the apex dos. This is also wifi not bluetooth. That being said if this unit is indeed no where near available I will be getting the kore 5th. I was just trying to cut down on wires and pumps.

Just checked with the distributor. Stock will only be available in November here in Singapore.

Notice it states out of stock. Salty (who is Deepwater) does have the pump but is not recommending it sold to the public but will sell it as a "beta".

This unit looks so similar to my Pacific Sun Kore 5th which is also a 5 dosing unit with top off and water changer...the sofware looks very similar too. Granted Kore 5th is Bluetooth, but works fine for me.

Quiverfull · 10/24/2015, 09:02 AM

Anyone get their hands on one of these yet? I too have seen then on SaltySupply's site but says' "Out of Stock". I sent a message to customer support to ask when they will be available and I have not received a response yet. I am trying to decide between this and the Kore 5th.
