Kamoer F4 PRO WiFi Doser: How to Setup and Schedule a Dosing Program for Your Reef Tank

www.coralvue.com/kamoer-f4-pr...
Today on [CVtv], we’re going to show you how to install the Kamoer F4 PRO Wi-Fi Cloud Dosing Pump and schedule a dosing regimen for your reef tank.
The new Kamoer F4 Pro Liquid Dosing Pump is the latest state of the art controllable dosing system from Kamoer. Each unit includes Wi-Fi and Cloud connection, which allows the doser to be controlled locally or remotely via most mobile devices.
Alkalinity and Calcium are consumed by our tank inhabitants 24/7 and need to be replenished on a daily basis. Some hobbyists take care of this manually by adding Alkalinity and Calcium solutions once a day and other hobbyists rather automate the process by using dosing pumps. The F4 PRO is a reliable, safe and versatile solution that facilitates the addition of supplements into our systems. Not only does it allow us to dose Alkalinity and Calcium but we can also supplement things such as trace elements, magnesium, liquid carbon and the list goes on and on!
Before we get started with the installation, let’s make sure that everything is included and nothing is missing from the box.
The box should include:
- The F4Pro Dosing Unit
- Power adapter
- Graduated cylinder
- Tube Bracket
- BTP Colored Tubing
- Hardware
Now that we have accounted for all the parts, we can continue with the installation!
Let’s find a location that is optimal for mounting our F4 PRO The location should be easy access. It should be close to electrical power, close to your sump or the location where the dosing tubing will be installed, and also have easy access to dosing containers that will hold the solutions. The unit should also be installed higher than the sump but not directly above water.
Once you have found the perfect location, the unit can be mounted using the included hardware.
Installing the tubing is as simple as it gets. Unscrew the tightening cap from the dosing head. Remove the bushing. Now insert the tubing into the small end of the tightening cap and then insert the tightening bushing with the wider end first. Attach the tubing to the right-side input of one of the dosing heads and then reattach the tightening cap to secure. Repeat the process on the left side output of the dosing head and then on each of the dosing heads you will be activating.
Before we proceed, let’s download and install the “KamoerRemote” App from the Google Play or Apple App Store. We will need this app to remotely control our F4 PRO dosing unit.
Once the Kamoer app has been downloaded and installed, go ahead and open it.
The first step is to setup a cloud account. Tap on “Free Registration” and select the type of account you want to register. For the purposes of this video, we will select email registration.
Tap on "Sign up with your email."
Now enter your email address. Then tap on “Send” next to Verification Code. Check your email and enter the code that was sent to you.
Now enter your new password and tap on "Register."
Once your account has been successfully created, you will be routed to the Devices screen.
To add your device, just tap on the "Plus" sign in the upper right-hand corner and select "Add Device."
Now select Kamoer F4 PRO.
Make sure that your mobile device is connected to a 2.4GHz WiFi network. If you try connecting to a 5GHz network, the setup will not work. Once connected to a 2.4GHz network, go ahead and confirm.
Now, you can type in your WiFi Network password. Again, I cannot emphasize enough: you must connect to a 2.4GHz network. If you try to connect to a 5GHz network, the connection will fail.
Once you have typed your WiFi password, tap on Next.
As instructed on the screen, proceed to your F4 PRO and press and hold the button on the side of the unit. Release once you hear the two beeps and the red light flashes twice. Allow for a few seconds for the red light to begin flashing.
Confirm that the light is flashing and allow the app to configure your unit.
Once the unit is connected successfully, go ahead and tap on “Start to use.”

I love the color-coded pump heads and tubing!

[@TibbytheTT]

This video is really useful - helped me a lot in working out the app which isn't the easiest in the world to use till you get used to it. I despair of the fact that manufacturers do not put in a proper manual (no manual at all) with their products. I have the DD model which is the same and it came with coloured tubing so you need to use the Kamoer app with it. One point about the video. They say that when you attach the tubing to the pump the little plastic clamp should be put flat end towards the pump. I think this is the wrong way round.

[@abuzdream]

Amazingly explained to understand it to the easiest way❤

[@dbean2321]

Thanks CoralVue

[@epicnas12342]

Could I use these for auto water changes?

[@NationalReefing]

Will this setup work with the Hydros controller along with the X1 and/or X1Pro? Also how would you incorporate the following sensors: - Kamoer 2 Liter Calcium CA Container with Liquid Level Sensor - Kamoer 2 Liter Alkalinity KH Container with Liquid Level Sensor - Kamoer 2 Liter Magnesium MG Container with Liquid Level Sensor

[@azja83]

Can I control and monitor from the app after setup, even if I am away from home and not connected to my wifi but my mobile network?

[@reef___Q]

Hi. I've change my phone for new samsung s22 ultra and now pump doesn't want to connect with my router . Its same 2.4ghz router . Nothing has been changed . Pump is still working using cloud sets butbi don't have an access to change dosing amounts. Do you have any tips what to do ? I have same pump but DD and there was no issues with connection . Other equipment is working with new phone as well . Cheers

[@dannyboygunner]

Can you setup notifications on low container levels in the app? I can see there's an alert section but it doesn't really seem to allow me to say anything up. The start and end dates are today's date, must be missing something??

[@jebbus95]

Appreciate the video Just set up my doser but ask one recommendation. I bought a dosing container that uses a quick connect fitting and the tubing provided doesn’t fit the 1/4 inch fitting (I’m assuming the tube is 3/16) how should I amend this?

[@CoralVueTV]

There are conversion fittings that can reduce the size found on line or at some hardware stores that have a large selection of plumbing fittings.

[@spcyamada808]

Just wanted to see if the included tubing is indeed 3/16? Thanks!

[@andrew5762]

You make it so easy thank you , bought one tried to follow you , only could get to 60 percent up load 😤sent it back 😭

[@CoralVueTV]

Sorry for the trouble you had. Your unit was in the process of upgrading multiple times. There was a simple fast resolution so you don't have to do all the updates and skip to the last one. Just need to reach out to us at support.coralvue.com

[@paulwizal23d89]

Andrew what dosing pump did you end up going with?

[@andrew5762]

Paulwizal23 D hi Paul I went for a eKoral only because they said it would be fine , Still had problems but Eric from Taiwan wots app me . Still again problems . Changed my kHz to 2.4 with sky and all was good . Bet yours would have been the same . Dam 5 kHz 😃👍

[@ciliniarae]

I am a newbie to reefing. I understand most of the instructions. The calibration I do not understand,its vague. How do you know all the air is out of tube? once this is done ,do fill chamber with liquid,is that what goes in beaker to determine volumne?

[@Theaquaplex]

You will know when the liquid is flowing steady and constant out of the airline that is being tested or calibrated for about 10 to 20 seconds. Also, generally you can hear and see the airbubbles if there is air left in the airline tubes as the air is being pushed out.

[@ciliniarae]

Hopefully I can get an answer to this question. How do you read the included beaker?

[@CoralVueTV]

There should be blue markings on the side of the 10ml beaker.

[@paulwizal23d89]

ciliniarae how is this pump working so far. Looking on to getting one??? Do you use it for 2 part dosing? Has it held up good with WiFi connection. Any failures?

[@kevanbygate9485]

I have a all in one tank 600 mm high does my doser need to be higher than the tank or can it be half way up and push dosing up to top of tank?

[@CoralVueTV]

It is possible to pump horizontally up from the doser but caution that backflow can be a concern especially running small doses. If pumping upwards I would keep it under 4-5ft of tubing from the doser and place check valves and drip loops with the dosing tubing. Otherwise, I would suggest dosing in the last chamber of your sump.

[@azrag02]

Hola Carlos, tengo una duda esta kamoer se piensa incluir para ser administrada desde el HYDROS X4?

[@CoralVueTV]

No en este momento, pero esto es algo que esperamos agregar en el futuro si Kamoer nos lo permite.

[@pdwinc.1077]

Can this pump be used with 1/4" RODI lines which is what is on my dosing bottles.

[@CoralVueTV]

Just checked and it does appear to work with standard 1/4in RO tubing.

[@andreastucchi6191]

Always skeptical on product that need a piece of software u dont own to even work. What about the app? Are apk available? Would the pump work whitout internet connection? What would happen if at the dosing scheduled time, wifi is down?

[@CoralVueTV]

Once the F4 is programmed through the app the doser does not require the app unless changes to the dosing schedule are required. Otherwise, the F4 retains time and its programmed dosing regimen, even if the WiFi is down.

[@GoLeafs03]

I have aio tank, the pump will be lower than my tank, should that be fine?

[@sgt.pepper4274]

I'm not sure with this model, but with the single head Kamoer X1 PRO WiFi Dosing Pump it states up to a half meter (around 1.5 feet); however, A guy that owned one says it operated fine at 1 meter (3 feet). gl

[@Theaquaplex]

Curious, is this doser compatible with the Neptune Apex/or Trident?

[@CoralVueTV]

Sorry it is not. The F4 uses its own cloud based app with no other way to interface with the doser.

[@Theaquaplex]

@@CoralVueTV I am out of town and my doser keeps going offline. I had a friend go and check and they noticed, no red led light on the doser. I had them unplug it, then plug it, then it showed up online on my phone. Then a few hours later, it is back offline. Not sure what is going on.

[@CoralVueTV]

@@Theaquaplex Sounds like signal interference if the light on the doser remains on excluding a bad PSU. I would reboot your wifi router to see. It could be just an issue with the 2.4ghz signal the doser uses.

[@Theaquaplex]

@@CoralVueTV Thanks for assisting via email as well. I remotely reset my eero router device which the doser was connected to, and about 20 minutes later all seems ok...(remotely)...lets see what happens.

[@Theaquaplex]

I just purchased this from Aquacave...4 days agao, however when scanning the QR code or typing "Kamoer Remote" in the Google Play Store, this APP does NOT exist. There isn't a F4 Pro App, it does NOT exist...There are other Apps for Kamoer (which is confusing by itself) \\\Dosing Pump2, X4 Dosing Pump Kamoer Pumps, X1 Pump, Dripping Pro, AquariumCloud2///what am I missing or doing wrong? Any help would be greatly appreciated....

[@CoralVueTV]

We are sorry for the inconvenience. We have reported the issue to the manufacturer, and they should be fixing it very soon.

[@Theaquaplex]

@@CoralVueTV Are there alternative ways to get this pump up and running or do I need to return this dosing pump?

[@paulwizal23d89]

Aquaplex how is this pump working so far. Looking on to getting one??? Do you use it for 2 part dosing? Has it held up good with WiFi connection. Any failures?

[@Theaquaplex]

@@paulwizal23d89 Hi Paul, it works great, I will give it a 4.5 out 5 stars, because of the dosing sounds only and the App acts up at times, whenever I open it up to check out the amount of dosing solution days left, before I refill; I used tge Android version...Samsung S20 Ultra, might be different on other phones and platforms.. I have NOT have any issues with wifi, mine stayed on and reconnected instantly...it doses as described, very compact...one other downside is the dosing/pump noise...you can hear it...but the longest I have mine is for 10 seconds at maximum every hour...

[@bobbyknox9258]

So if you can't select 2.4ghz on your router which I cant the product is completely useless!

[@dr.muratkandemir1739]

What is the problem of app Kamoer? Why l have connection problem?

[@CoralVueTV]

We are not experiencing any issues with the Kamoer Remote app. Please make sure you are using the correct app and that you are connecting to a 2.5ghz WiFi band. It will not work with a 5ghz or combined signal. If you still have issues I would suggest submitting a support ticket at support.coralvue.com

[@roberthdj80]

I can't find the app on android store , and the ones showing are not working for f4 pro , any idea how to fix the issue ?

[@Theaquaplex]

Did you get a response to this? I had the same issue initially...but was sent the actually downloadable android file.

@@paulwizal23d89 after the update its working fine , you can dose yoir tank however you need , the onli little issue is that sometimes not always you have to sing in on the app for some reason it dosnt save your username and password and most of the times i forgot the password so i have to create a new one and the website its on Chinese but thats the only issue other than that it works fantastic
