Getting tired of waiting for BRS to get more drew's pumps in stock. Can anyone recommend a good pump for automatic two part dosing? Many thanks.

You gan get the "drews" pumps on Ebay too. Same price. Do a search on "aquarium doser".

You can also get medical dosers on ebay. They are digital, battery back up and can be set from 1 -300 ml an hour. So minimum of 24 ml a day. I think they're roughly 80$ a pop.

Be careful of some of the medical dosers. I looked at some of them that would hold their settings for ~ 1 hr on battery backup, but after that lost the programming.

Found one shop selling pumps on eBay, no hits on the medical dosers.

This is where I got my pumps. $49:00 Each. I hooked them to an Intermatic digital timer that I got from ACE hardware ($25:00)
For about $140:00 I was in buisness. Very easy to do.

$49 ea for 4 roller "Drews" type pumps? That is a really good deal. I haven't seen them that cheap.

The $49 E-bay ones only have 2 rollers.

Correct, they only have two rollers. I have not had any problems with any back siphon issues. They have worked great so far.
