BRS dosing supplements

I need to purchase some supplements along with dosing pumps. I was wondering if anyone has purchased the packaged BRS sells. If you have could you list any pros/cons.

BRS 2 Part Calcium & Alkalinity Total Package with Dosers

Thanks

I've read generally good reviews about those products. The 2-part ingredients are fine. There are a lot of opinions about pumps.

I've used the BRS 1.1ml per minute dosing pumps for a long time without problems. There were a number of problems with the 50ml per minute model ; I'm not sure if they still carry that one.
