Jebao DP-4 Auto DOSING PUMP - REVIEW and GUIDE!

[@mannyalali2022]

Planning to use this along with wifi ph and ec montiring systems to control hydropinic system nutrition and ph

[@aceventura2154]

Hey... same.... Did you get setup. Was thinking about using to dose in my mixing bucket for micro, grow, bloom. Pain in the arse using syringes

[@Titeo]

Thank you for the great review, 1 question for you how far and how high this pump can pump to??

[@AquaSplendor]

I have no clue :P It usually stays around the aquarium in a radius of 1-2 meter

[@lunes-1]

Great video,keep it up!🏝

[@AquaSplendor]

I need to clarify something before everyone sees this video. (Too lazy to edit) I do recommend this Dosing Pump because of the price and if it's your first time with a Dosing pump, great to begin with. HOWEVER, keep in mind many stores stop selling it because of too many returns. I will ALWAYS recommend buying quality first because, in the long run, you get your money back. That being said, I personally never had an issue so this is my experience with this Review. For calibration the Jebao here a tutorial: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH-lfKGYZ8ujfZI

Hello, I have thinking would this work for hydroponics growing plants. when mixing a new water solution with nutrients you have to put 4 different types of nutrients into a bucket of water to mix. Is it easy to say to pump, take 5ml of solution 1, 10ml of solution 2, 20ml solution 3 and send it through the tubes at same time? Also, is there any problem with solution getting left in tubes? Is it super accurate?

[@AquaSplendor]

It's accurate enough to not cause any harm in my opinion. (especially with plants). Good question about getting dry, I do not know the repercussion, it probably depends on each fertilizer and the frequency. Mix and dosing are two different things but I assume it's ok

[@sweetness6048]

Can I use this to auto mix fertilizer for hydroponic instead plz can you answer this

[@AquaSplendor]

I wouldn't recommend, no

[@loudearthfarms420]

@@AquaSplendor why not?

[@alancunningham5120]

I like to dos on the hour every hour, only problem I had is it can only do 1ml dosage amounts meaning the lowest dosage amount is 1ml.

[@AquaSplendor]

Yeah i totaly get it why ew would want a continuous dosing, the reason why i don't do this is because of the sound, it's annoying when it's near you.

[@scotty2salty327]

Can this unit dose smaller than 1ml increments? Or is 1ml the lowest amount it can dispense?

[@AquaSplendor]

I think it's the lowest 🤔, why would like to be lower? I'm curious of the situation

[@johnsnow5167]

Are you in Canada ? If so, where did you find the acrylic rods for dosing containers ?

[@AquaSplendor]

i Don't remember, either Reef supply or bulkreefsupply

[@jojomaden2141]

Hi all! quick question, when my pump doesn't proceed to dosage for some time (like 24h), the inlet tube liquid slowly flows back to the solution container. What can i do about it because i thought peristaltic would retain the liquid when off ?

[@AquaSplendor]

Play with the height of the pump vs where it drains, maybe it won't suck back. I think the right order from bottom to top is Dosing bottle - Aquarium - pump. But right now i'm having the reverse other so... lol Also make sure your bottle dosing is not close by you let air pass through, just for pressure. (I do a tiny hole on top of the bottle)

[@jojomaden2141]

@@AquaSplendor I'm starting to think the issue comes from the design of the pump itself not pinching the tube enough...

[@danielvazquezguevara3842]

Will these pump be able to push liquid like 1 meter high?

[@AquaSplendor]

Yes

[@DanielVazquez]

@@AquaSplendor Will I need to add a check valve or I don't have to worry about syphoning back.

[@kenz1031]

@@DanielVazquez you can, or just keep ypu tubed out of the water

[@Fred-eg9sx]

Does it come with the extension cable?

[@AquaSplendor]

Extension cable? The power? Yes. Air tube? No.

[@P4P5]

Air pockets occur in tubes all the time. Did you have the same issue? If so, how did you resolve it?

[@AquaSplendor]

Nop, maybe make sure all you line is plugged correctly, from the source to all the joint

[@P4P5]

@@AquaSplendor everything is connected correctly.

[@AquaSplendor]

@@P4P5 The air doesn't appear by magic 😉

[@Vidishish]

I get the same only in calcium i tried crazy glue to seal ends. Still bubbles.

[@ASBsweet]

@@P4P5 run the liquid through the tube and flick the tube until the air moves out. @fishOhex has a good video for installation

[@wpouser]

Does any one know the minimum dosing volume per channel?

[@AquaSplendor]

You can setup the machine to 1ml.

[@AquaSplendor]

The calibration video you can check out here: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pH-lfKGYZ8ujfZI

[@PhoinexV2Full]

The jebao wifi one is allot better and easier to setup for $20-25 more totally worth it

[@AquaSplendor]

Yeah, money value is incredible. I still love mine, take less then 8 sec to make adjustment

[@PhoinexV2Full]

@@AquaSplendor the wifi version is only about $75

[@Torx3D]

I love jebao products however I would never use their dosing pumps. Their products are not designed for long term. Many of their products go so far as to stipulate on their sites that the product life is only 1 year. Some people are lucky and get a few years out of their products. As for a doser, when/if they do fail, it typically is in the ON position. That could be detrimental to a tank. With hundreds, if not thousands invested in livestock, a few extra dollars on a doser is highly recommended. Great video.

[@AquaSplendor]

Great comment, I 100% Agree :)

[@ASBsweet]

I would say this other than their dosing pumps. I've had the kamoer dosing pumps, and this was more reliable. Almost 4 years and still going strong

[@walterperez3439]

Would that pump work in an hydroponic set up mixing 2or 3 nutrients ???sorry I ‘m grateful for your demo but you voice comes fast and unclear your volume is very poor what a pity can you re do it please ?

[@AquaSplendor]

Weird, just watched the video after 1 year and half, sound is good. I'm not sure for the length of tubing, but yeah, why not

[@edgarm7095]

this is trash i ordered 4 and none of them worked. the motor would spin but the pump wouldn’t work. poorly made

[@ReefHausDynamics]

It’s not the best, even for the price there is a difference in ML per dose and dumps in alk and creates spikes. For beginner like you maybe that’s works.

[@AquaSplendor]

I tested mine to see the calibration, it was spot on on 100ml every time, guess I might have a very good unit!

[@norcoatomik1]

I want to get one for fertilizer injection , it will only need to come on for 1minute every 3 days I'm thinking this is absolutely all I need to do fertigation and save alot of money but my son concern is how acurate is it

[@AquaSplendor]

1ml is the minimum If i recall correctly

[@norcoatomik1]

Also what size pump tubing are you using

[@norcoatomik1]

Are they accurate? I do have a tip for you tho man , use 1/4" RO line and a 1/4" RO check valve off your intake line keeps your system primed and pressurized all the time and keeps air bubbles out , once its primed the first time it will stay that way, oh I should mention I meant the line that picks up the fert , not the pump line lol .

[@norcoatomik1]

So are they accurate
