Apex controller and dosing pumps
Hi everybody
I am looking at getting getting one of the apex systems but I am wondering will it work with any dosing pumps? I have the brs pumps and don't want to have to buy new pumps I did see apex has some so that's why I was wondering if you have to use theirs Thank for any info

+1 on BRS dosers. They are excellent and you just program them on timers.

Keep in mind that BRS and similar dosers may not work reliably on outlets other than 4 and 8 due to how triac outlets work with low draw devices. It's pretty easily addressed, but a complication to be aware of.

I have been using BRS dosers for 3 years now with my Apex unit. I considered getting the DOS, but see no reason to spend the money.
