Kamoer X1 101: Installation & Setup

Welcome to a new season of [CVtv]. In this episode, Carlos Chacon introduces us to the brand new Kamoer X1 Dosing Pump. He takes us through the easy assembly and shows us how simple it is to create a dosing schedule using the X1 Pump App.
The Kamoer X1 Liquid Dosing Pump is the latest state of the art controllable liquid dosing pump from Kamoer. Each X1 is integrated with Bluetooth for complete control via mobile device (iPhone or Android). An easy to use app intuitively sets up single or multiple X1 pumps to any desired dosing regimen.

I have sold a bunch of these dosing pumps and no complaints so far!

[@WA2OR]

I have 2 pumps, and they are working great! My only issue was trying to adjust the amounts and times, but with the video's help, finally figured that out!

[@SantaMonicaFiltration]

Glad to see peri pumps come a long way since I first started using them in 2008 to dose liquid food particles.

[@yuyiboy]

I’ve been using all for reef (one part) and this would be perfect and at a great price. 👍🏽

[@greetingsearthlingspluto6666]

I have two of these pumps and work great. They are easy to calibrate and app is super easy

[@dramad2974]

I love to try one out on my tank, curious how well this works

[@gabesreef]

I just got me one of these. Cant wait to do a review video

[@reeftheseaforever]

I took a risk got this on the Black Friday sale works good so far

[@m.f.385]

If I want flow 5ml per minute what can I do ?? How can adjustment it ??

[@nasreyzal]

i am curious, if let say i set 1litre from 3pm and ends at 4pm. does it mean the loading rate becomes 1litre per hour? i mean, does the speed changes?

[@codyfisher5100]

Can't find a video on how to calibrate.....

[@julianaiken3648]

Can you use the manual dosing function in addition to the scheduled plan function? i.e. I have a plan set for 12 daily dosings, but to make small adjustments, can I use the manual dosing function without interrupting or interfering with my planned schedule?

[@dmanshep]

notice you tapped on Coplete.. where is the "Complete" button lol.. looks like a cool doser

[@brockdonay5109]

Add times under quick plan is only giving me a max option of 2 times?

[@wesleyforbes]

Since the unit will need to be placed higher than the sump, but not directly over it, does this come with a wall mount? If not, what would you suggest to attach to a wall high enough to be higher than the sump and dosing container?

[@CoralVueTV]

The pump can be placed on a shelf or a bracket to mount up to 4 pumps to a single bracket. We hope to have them available this spring.

[@wesleyforbes]

@@CoralVueTV I see, thanks... Just for reference, probably your main competitor, the Coral Box single channel WiFi Dosing Pump has a simple plastic wall mount included in the box.

[@KonradKlemmer]

How does this do on small doses? I’ve got a small tank and only dose about 6mil per day. Could I do multiple 1-2 ml doses? I ask because it looks like it pumps fairly fast.

[@CoralVueTV]

It does a min of 1ml and can easily administer multiple times a day.

[@KonradKlemmer]

@@CoralVueTV Thanks! ordered one. Excited to try it out

[@m.f.385]

[@alohacoralreef]

Can I dose in the .1ml or only in the 1ml and higher?? I need to dose small amounts daily.

[@luisvaldez5646]

Hey Carlos any idea when the x1 pro 2 will be released ?

[@glenvarza2111]

Can i use this on an all in one tank from below and pump up to rear sump???

[@Fred-eg9sx]

Is there a limit to how many I can link up?? I need 12 doser pumps. So can I get 12 of these?

[@CoralVueTV]

Yes, you link a max of 3 X1 dosers to an X1 with a power supply. So 4 X1 pumps to a power supply.

[@albertmaya6882]

I’m having issues with this pump, I connected it and I see it on the app but ever since I connected it, it won’t stop running. It’s running constantly. Even after I added a plan to add 15 ml daily, plan broke it down throughout day, but pump won’t stop running? Please help…

[@CoralVueTV]

Sorry to hear of the odd issues you are having. Sounds like your X1 may be stuck in calibration or prime setting. Please submit a support ticket at support.coralvue.com for an agent to get your issue resolved.

[@albertmaya6882]

@@CoralVueTV I already put in a ticket

[@albertmaya6882]

@@CoralVueTV Your tech basically told me there is nothing to be done as it sounds like this is a hardware issue. So I basically have to throw away pump and buy a new one? Make sure it wont be this brand if I do.

[@reeftheseaforever]

I made a ticket on how to remove a plan . but the rep didn't know how do remove a plan. so I erased the app and re installed the app and the app remembered my old plan so how do u delete a plan? are u stuck with the plan that u programmed from the beginning / there is no delete plan button?

[@CoralVueTV]

You can simply swipe the interface to the left and then you will see the option.

[@reeftheseaforever]

@@CoralVueTV thanks I just saw the video .its not written in the instructions

[@vladimir4076]

I have 3 pumps X1 ,tried to set up a plan add and doesn’t do anything just buffering for over 20 minutes loosing patience here I tried everything nothing works!!!

[@erikvandecar5377]

How does the pump know what time it is? Does it just get that info via Bluetooth from the phone when it gets set up initially?

[@CoralVueTV]

The X1 gets it time when the App syncs up to the device.

[@johnnierea643]

Does this pump need to be connected back to the phone after a power outage or will it keep dosing. Mine after a power outage the red light blinks and I do not know why until I connect my phone back to it

[@CoralVueTV]

The red blinking light indicates it needs to be reconnected to the app to synchronize the time. Parameters and settings are stored in flash it's just that the doser does know if it was an hour power outage or a 8 hour power outage.

[@johnnierea643]

@@CoralVueTV if I am not at home will it continue to work or will it not work till I reconnecte it to my phone .

[@tranphan9013]

Is it possible to add more than 12 point in time dosing schedule? I want to use this on my Kalk reactor and would like to dose every 30mins or every hour. So need to dost 24-48 times a day.

[@CoralVueTV]

The X1 is limited to 12 dosings per day so you will only have 12points in the dosing schedule. I would suggest you look into a continuous dose pump like the Kamoer FX-STP. It is better suited for the job. With Kalk it is less problematic and if you continuously administer kalk solution to the system.

[@tranphan9013]

@@CoralVueTV Thank you. Will look at the FX-STP.

[@adrianr514]

My dosing container has a 1/4 quick connect fitting. How would I get this to work with it?

[@Val_Halla777]

Curious Why Kamoer didn’t enable the X1 to be able to dose once an hour around the clock? (24times rather then the 12 times max) Could this be an improvement that could be added in the future with a update?

[@CoralVueTV]

The X1 bluetooth version is limited to only 12 dosing times, it cannot be updated. Later next year there will be a wifi version as well which will have 24 dosing cycles. Thank you for your understanding.

[@Val_Halla777]

Thanks. But why not simply have the app/firmware updated for these units? Or this this another ‘sales ploy’ for us X1 BT users to buy the WiFi versions? Sorry to say this sure appears to be a trend with your product releases.(Intensional limitations) A great product...but it sure could be more versatile. Thanks again for your reply.

Hey, with the power link, how many Kamoer X1 can you link it up with ? Can I link 4 X1's under one power outlet?

[@CoralVueTV]

You can link up to 4 X1 MicroPumps off of one power supply.

[@MrJztan79]

Where is the replacement head for this unit. Cant find it anywhere.

[@CoralVueTV]

There is only one roller head with every X1 dosing pump

[@Stralnikov]

Can it be controlled from an Apex?

[@CoralVueTV]

Sorry besides providing power it can not be controlled via Apex

[@TheDlacey31]

So could I get two of these and do auto water changes?

[@CoralVueTV]

The X1 is more suited for smaller dosing of additives and supplements.

[@TheDlacey31]

CoralVue dang. I was thinking the 6000ml a day capability would be perfect for a .5 to 1gal a day AWC on a nano. Having a WiFi capable AWC that would be amazing

[@Fluke-h6z]

The dosing tube is too small for my dosing container connection hole

[@CoralVueTV]

What size tubing does your container have? The dosing tubing is a rather standard size but may require a reducing barbed adapter to make the connection between the two tubing sizes.

[@andreasbergmann8780]

What’s the maximum diameter of tube you can use on this pump ?

[@CoralVueTV]

The barbs are set for standard 1/8ID dosing tubing.

[@andreasbergmann8780]

CoralVue any idea for a dosing Pump with 6mm diameter for automated feeding of zooplankton out of the fridge ?

[@CoralVueTV]

@@andreasbergmann8780 You can always get a reducing barb fitting from 1/8 to 1/4in OD to make it work. I dose EasyBooster phyto gel with my X1 with no issues.

[@andreasbergmann8780]

CoralVue most DIY fishfood or live zooplankton feeder work with a larger tube diameter for clotting etc. so I search for a dosing pump which can handle tube sizes of 6mm inner diameter

[@birdzynest]

A maximum of 12 doses per 24hrs? I was loving this pump up until that point. I would need the ability to dose at least every hour.

[@CoralVueTV]

Kamoer does offer the F4-PRO which is fully capable of dosing every hour: www.coralvue.com/kamoer-f4-pro-wifi-doser a

[@RobertoRodriguez-gn3tt]

You never say what liquid you use to calibrate. I was going to use rodi water but have seen that it's best to use what you're actually going to dose.

[@bpseal]

Why in god's name did you guys not include standard size dosing tubing?? It does not fit in normal 1/4'' fittings like every other dosing tube.

[@Alamo-cz5xc]

Disconnects too often

[@CoralVueTV]

The X1 setup using Bluetooth which only has a certain reach. You only need to connect when making changes to the dosing schedule or calibrating. Otherwise, the X1 will work as programmed without the need to be connected.

[@m.f.385]

If I want flow 5ml per minute what can I do ?? How can adjustment it ??

[@CoralVueTV]

The X1 is not a continuous doser and is limited to 12 dosings per day. So you have to determine how much you wish to dose per the 12 max dosings.
