GHL Doser review?

LeslieS88 · 11/03/2016, 05:48 PM

I'm considering getting the ghl 4 channel doser. Anyone have one, or have any reviews? I'm between that and the bubble magus.

Thanks!

I have one here. I know many who have them and in my opinion, they are by far the best doser you can get and the Doser 2 has proven to be one of the most reliable dosers you can get. I am sure many others will chime in and I expect similar responses.

I want to get a doser too, looked into GHL too and as well as others too (Jebao-cheapest, Kamoer-not sure, Pac Sun etc etc).... A lot of reviews say its good, easy to use, have app, stand alone or slave to GHL controller, expandable by just buying the Slave version....and most importantly, accurate and reliable.
Some of the others have optional ATO, separate display for programming, AWC, drip rate dosing etc etc....(I assume for stuff like Iodine)

GHL Doser 2 is as good as it gets among the current offering of dosers. I have had one for a few years and it has been spot on accurate since day 1, no issues whatsoever.

I have a bubble magus and it has been a really great reliable piece of equipment. I change the tubing on the heads every 6 months and it never has issues and had been running this way for 4 years.

However, if I were in the market to buy a dosing pump currently I would without a doubt go with the GHL.

I have the GHL doser 2 and absolutely love it. My only issue is the requirement of a pc to set it up. I'm a Mac guy, but fortunately I bought my son a new pc laptop for school work or I would've had to install parallels or the like to run Windows (which I hate with a passion) on my Mac. Once it's set up, you can control it through the cloud or the app (which only works when you're on your own network), so you can ditch the pc.
It's extremely precise and super easy to adjust as your dosing needs change. I feel this doser is second to none and you won't regret spending the money. I bought mine during a labor day sale and saved $50 or $60.
Just my two pennies.

Love my doser2. A bit finicky to setup, but rock solid after that.

Thanks, so I'm sold on ghl.

Does anyone use the magnetic stirrers? What containers do you use, the bubble magus ones?
