Stupid question probably but does the check valve go on the input side of the pump or the output.... I have mine on the input but am wondering if I put near the end of the output, so fluid can go out but theoretically nothing gets in, if that would help keep air from getting in the line.

You put check valves on the output

Very happy with mine, has been working great since installation.

They have been upgrading as they get complaints/returns. I had lots of problems with mine but great customer support and the replacement parts that I got were all better then what it came with it originally. Forget about returning it though. Shipping to China cost more then the pumps original cost. For real.

Does anyone have the dimensions of this pump? I want to build a shelf for it before it arrives in the mail. Thanks!

Awesome thanks so much. Wish me luck, this is my first dosing pump. I've outgrown kalkwasser and am going to begin two part when this thing arrives. Hopefully it makes like easier.

Well.. I hope you get one with the updated pumps and mother board. Otherwise it will be a hassle dealing with problems for awhile, although if you stick with it long enough and work with the supplier they are pretty good about getting you replacement parts at no cost. Good Luck!

This pump is now in the garbage. One of the heads came off and created a siphon. Dosed a whole lot of Alk. It was ver tedious to program as well. I ended up going to a few BRS pumps driven by my Apex

Sorry to hear you had issues... Mines been doing fine. Have had no issues other than its little squirrely to program.

my friend got one yesterday for his 450g, he said he like it its just a bit noisy when pumping. He said it was easy to program and that in you input the total Ml the unit divides it up over the course of the day.

its either that or a kamoer for me.
