BRS Doseing pump inconsistent.

Chromey316 · 12/02/2012, 06:01 PM

Ive been testing these 2 BRAND new pumps i just got from BRS and WELL Im very unhappy with what i have so far.

All test were performed with 2' intake hose, 2' return hose.

Pumps are 12" above supply water for testing.

Day 1 On for 10 Mins Both pumps = 11 mls

Day 2
Pump 1 On for 10 mins = 13ml
Pump 2 on for 10 mins= 18mls

Day 3 Installed on my RKL Channel 1 and 4.
Pumps are alone on the RKL PC4 power bar

Pump 1 10 min on time Off 50min, repeat 7 times a day = 90ml
Pump 2 10 min on time off 40min, repeat 7 times a day = 95ml

Day 4 Still on my RKL, Channel 1 and 4
Pumps are alone on the RKL PC4 power bar

Pump 1 10 min on time, off 50 min, Repeat 7 times 103 ml
Pump 2 10 min on time, off 40 min, repeat 7 times 95 ml.

Day 5 Plugged into the wall, monitored with stop watch.

Pump 1 On time 30 mins, 60 ml.
Pump 2 On time 30 mins, 45 ml.

Any advice would be great, I think these might be the worst pumps ive ever seen, UNLESS Im doing something wrong.

Or do i send them back and buy a libra?

I would contact BRS. I have these pumps and they have been perfect from day one. Maybe you just got some bad pumps
