DŌS - Dosing and Fluid Metering System - Neptune Systems Product Highlight 003

[@jacobside2656]

Got a Dos for Christmas. This is by far the best gift ever, in a week it has taken my wildly varying alk & cal levels to dead on stable. I can test at any hour of the day and my levels will be right where I want them.

awesome!

[@simon_camaj8281]

Just got my DOS its awesome. I don't see many reviews online i may do one after a week of having it. Thanks Apex makes life easy :-)

[@donmonteith775]

I just got my DOS over the weekend. Before buying I watched this video several times and found it to be very helpful. However, what would also be good to see is it actually being set up. A lot like you did with your new pumps. Actually seeing you add this to a system and the going into Apex Fusion and setting it up from start to finish would take a lot of the mystery out of an awesome product. Just a thought.

[@83K5Blazer]

just ordered mine from my LFS.. can't wait to start dosing.

[@cplcouture]

What happens if a pump/ motor break or fail? Let’s say I do auto water change. Will the other pump/ motor continue to operate and possibly overflow the tank? Will apex notice the fail?

[@garysteinert8040]

Really look forward to having the APEX PRO and the DOS. Waiting on 25% off coupon

[@edwardwells5864]

LOL, thats the first thought that came to my mind as soon as I herd about this product.

[@mitchtag1]

Will this work with a apex jr

[@Ice_Diver_Ed]

So if they last 200-300 hours, then do they need replaced every month?

[@Stralnikov]

I have the same question.

[@paulwoodley489]

Hey, so you mentioned that it lasts "oh 6 or 700 hours" but with 24 hours in a day that would put these out of use in a month (25 days) if it's being used constantly 24h a day. Even if it's only used for 6 hours a day then it's life would effectively only be 4 months. Is this correct or was it a mistake? Thanks

[@MrASTahoe]

I also caught the 600 hours thing... I like the idea of the "automatic water change" but I'm a bit confused if it only has a 600 hour lifespan?!

[@中田ヤスタカ-e4f]

the motor don't run 6 hours a day, to dose a 50ml/day (as an example) will likely last 30mins/day.. i worked in a medical profession and we use dosing pumps medical grade with patients narcotics..

[@marc_svsengineering4319]

I use this for AWC. If I could do it all over again I would go with a different system. It’s super loud and if you have a large tank it would take forever. 150 gallon tank with a 20 gallon WC makes the DOS run every 10 min. as it has a limit on the amount of water it can flow. I am not sure why they make you run the lines on remove water side different, but sure makes it a pain in the ass for manual removing bubbles in the line with dos button or just testing as the interface runs it as a DOS’er which makes run backwards.

[@Stralnikov]

What system would you have used?

[@jasonGardner777]

In the video you mention 1Link replacing the power cord, do you need the aquabus cable with the 1link when using with the new apex system ? I do not have the 1link module I have the new apex.

[@NeptuneSystemsVideo]

No, simply get the 1Link male to male cable and then connect the DOS to the EB832 with that. No Aquabus or power supply necessary.

[@alanjulian3051]

Can you daisy chain units off one 1-link as I have 2 wav pumps on the other ports

[@Ethan-ov4iz]

Do u got wireless control on this doser?

[@N0v3mB3r29O]

Looking to use this for auto water change. Could a siphon be created through the DOS or has that possibility been addressed?

[@NeptuneSystemsVideo]

It is possible during a catastrophic failure of the pump head. For this reason we always recommend placing the location of the DOS in a manner that mitigates this risk. Also, an in-reservoir or in sump siphon break can be used to help prevent a runaway siphon situation.

Can I use two DOS systems, with only one APEX controller? APEX Fusion will allow me to control the 4 pumps?

[@DaquanJohnson]

Yes

[@teecee9660]

Is the Doser compatible with the Apex Jr.?

[@NeptuneSystemsVideo]

Yes.

[@joezuccaro1550]

I have 3 Dos pumps and love them but the tubing is horrible! To stiff to straighten out in all 3 pumps bought at different times.

[@NeptuneSystemsVideo]

Unfortunately all the pliable stuff we tested would not last with a wide variety of fluids. For instance, some of them when using a highly acidic fluid would turn white and harden.

[@quransunnah96]

best investment ever... ATC

[@joezuccaro1550]

It's kinking when I try to straighten it though. Making it useless.

[@NeptuneSystemsVideo]

I have never had this issue. That said, just like a garden hose, if you let it warm up a bit, and then straighten, it will be more pliable.
