Reviews for Coral Box Wi Fi Doseing Pump

mattzang

then i bought this thing a few days ago and semi set up information technology up and calibrated final night, merely haven't installed it on the tank and started dosing.. i have a couple of questions though:

-does the output side need to be submerged underwater? i bought the amend check valve things, just was thinking i'd just have them pour into the water? what'southward the benefit of submerging the output?
-i'grand going to dose into my return pump section of my sump, which is just slightly elevated higher up the basis. so if i take this right, preferably my dosing container is below that, so it has to be on the ground pretty much? and then the doser itself will be above both of them kind of in a triangle sort of bargain?
-what does information technology mean the button will "flag" or something when it pairs to my home wifi? (side complaint, if you lot're a chinese visitor and you lot're selling stuff to the english speaking earth, is it that difficult to observe someone that speaks english better than google interpret to do instructions) information technology just keeps flashing light-green

and what does everyone dose? obviously 2 pumps volition exist alk and calcium, but i only add together magnesium every so often so that seems like a waste. i was thinking maybe nopox in i since i add that basically daily. perhaps hold off on the concluding one until i demand to dose more mag? i do love me some monti digitata..

thank you!

so i bought this thing a few days ago and semi prepare it upwards and calibrated last nighttime, but haven't installed information technology on the tank and started dosing.. i have a couple of questions though:

1: No, I recommend non submerging the output ends to avoid calcification.

2: Correct. The very cease of the output line must be above the maximum level in your dosing container.

3: I largely ignore the light, the pump will upshot an aural beep when information technology responds to actions in the app, ie saving outputs, turing on dosing pumps manually.

I've had this doser for half dozen months now and have had a few bug with information technology that I would like to come across if anyone else is experiencing.

The kickoff issue is that it takes me about a half hour each and every fourth dimension that I try to connect to information technology with my iPhone. The beginning few tries it tells me that the countersign is incorrect. I so enter the countersign for information technology to give me the same message anywhere from 2-10 times. The it will occasionally throw the bulletin "unable to join the network dosing_eac05". After continuously going through the steps to connect it will finally connect after numerous tries and countless minutes wasted.

The second issue is the heads staying primed. I originally fix everything up modeled after another reefer using RO lines, upgraded cheque valves and supergluing all connection points. Originally I had the check valves at the end of the lines correct before dropping the liquid into the sump. After much research I saw that others had more success putting check valves at the beginning of the lines simply exterior of the dosing reservoirs. And so I added a second bank check valve to each line and all but 3 are at present holding their prime.

The last outcome I'g having is that none of my lines hold their calibration. It fluctuates so much that I have ultimately given upward on recalibrating every day due to losing too much product.

Anyone else having these problems and if so, how was it corrected? Cheers for any insight.

I've had this doser for 6 months now and have had a few issues with it that I would like to meet if anyone else is experiencing.
The offset consequence is that it takes me about a half hour each and every fourth dimension that I endeavour to connect to it with my iPhone. The first few tries it tells me that the password is incorrect. I so enter the password for information technology to give me the same message anywhere from 2-10 times. The it will occasionally throw the message "unable to join the network dosing_eac05". Afterwards continuously going through the steps to connect it will finally connect after numerous tries and countless minutes wasted.

The second effect is the heads staying primed. I originally set everything up modeled later another reefer using RO lines, upgraded bank check valves and supergluing all connection points. Originally I had the check valves at the finish of the lines right before dropping the liquid into the sump. Subsequently much enquiry I saw that others had more success putting check valves at the commencement of the lines just outside of the dosing reservoirs. So I added a 2nd check valve to each line and all merely 3 are now property their prime.

The last issue I'm having is that none of my lines agree their calibration. Information technology fluctuates so much that I have ultimately given up on recalibrating every day due to losing likewise much product.

Anyone else having these bug and if so, how was it corrected? Thank you for whatever insight.

I'm having an issue keeping them primed now as well. Originally I set up them up on my old tank and they held scale and prime number just fine.

When i decommisioned my quondam tank and cycled my upgrade it sat in a box for a few months. I hooked information technology back up a couple months ago and it wont hold prime number to salvage its life. Im using a bank check valve on each side of the dosing head, and superglued all the joints as well equally using the stock tubing. Its driving me crazy.

A doser is just a long tube with rollers pushing liquid through it. If your losing prime it will be in the way you've run the tubing and check valves. Logan did a great video on proper set up up on his website on the doser page. One affair I've found helps a lot of people with priming issues on these and jebao pumps is to become to the 2x4mm tubing reefbreeders sells. It eliminates a lot of issues. Standard airline tubing does non work well as a dosing tubing on the pump heads that these all use.

Bryknicks

I'm using 1/4" RO plastic tubing with all joints sealed with super gum gel every bit suggested by others. Adding the second check valves has definitely helped 3 out of 4 dosing heads as they now stay primed, notwithstanding the calibration doesn't hold.

Out of all this, my biggest dilemma is the connection issue. I tin live with recalibrating and such so long as I can really connect to the doser. Without being able to connect to it in a timely mode I lose interest in trying to arrive work.

I was having prime and air bubble issues too, I stock-still it by putting check valves at the end of the output line besides every bit halfway betwixt the pump and the output line, and so 2 cheque valves full per output line

That may merely exist the dosing chemicals drying up your dosing lines. With 3 months of dry storage after beingness used, there could be residue from your erstwhile dosing regimen that dried up and made the lines more brittle than they were originally.

Justfebreezeit

Yous mean the tubing inside the bodily head? I hadn't thought almost that. I used new tubing for the residual maybe I'll endeavor a new head.

mattzang

have you tried unlike heads? i was testing mine for awhile before i hooked it upwards and found one of the heads just did not work properly. information technology would calibrate properly, but when i'd have it dose any amount daily, it dosed nil. but the other heads would properly dose

Bryknicks

I have not only because of the glued ends. It's been on my radar to try that, I volition just need to figure out how to change the head with keeping the internal prophylactic hose from the original. When I become a risk I'll postal service the results.

+i here on not holding prime - just really frustrated past this thing. Installed everything past the book with the video, glued everything. Calibration for me holds fine, but I tin can't get it to hold prime on Any of the lines. About ready to pull the plug and go with another doser.

Bryknicks

I finally got mine to hold the prime, but it was a painstaking experience. I used RO tubing and added adept check valves at the end of the line in the sump, as well equally the start of the line coming out of my holding containers. I also super glued the connections to the dosing unit of measurement itself. This was the merely way I could go it to hold it's prime number. Since then it has been working pretty flawless.

No .. I've primed them several times and they however come up back .. my just thought is they are sucking air from somewhere .. I have my check valves on the ends of my outlets .. I thought this might help ..

both my jabao dosers had bubbles all the time no thing what I did tried everything , now I just got the coral box wifi for dirt cheap, and then I promise it doesn't practise the same the dang it lol , only I did discover and buy some new glass check valves ,as every other blazon didn't work ,but I haven't finished my new system yet and haven't tried the glass ones yet.

No telephone to contact company. Non a good sign so far. Just able to get i pump to draw liquid.

Reef Breeders

No phone to contact company. Not a proficient sign and then far. Merely able to get one pump to draw liquid.

It's most likely your pump heads just need to be manually primed. I will test it out when it's back to united states of america. I apologize for the difficulty yous had reaching us over the weekend. Our phone number is available on all receipt emails, emails with order tracking info, and other correspondence.

I'1000 non a fan boy of whatsoever company simply I've had hands down the best service from reefbreeders than whatsoever other company. The phone number is on pretty much every document you get from them. They also answer in Facebook if your there.

As for priming problems there nothing different betwixt the wifi doser and most dosers on the market place. Information technology'southward a tube that has fluid in. The fluid gets pressed by the rollers and the pump turns. If you use the proper tube (that reefbreeders sells, NOT airline tubing) and cheque valves at the stop y'all should have no bug. It'southward a very simple mechanical activity with not much that tin can get incorrect. If you become air in the lines or bubbles then you lot have air leaking into the tubing somewhere. Same with whatever doser. I've seen all kinds of bandaid fixes but if you use the correct tube and bank check valves you lot should have no issues. I've set dozens of dosers up this yr and no issues other than i had a wifi consequence. Logan sent a new carte du jour right out. I switched to the wifi doser a twelvemonth ago. I just replaced the lines equally maintence. I've not had any issues with my personal wifi doser. 90% of the bug you lot read are not a specific problem to the wifi doser. 90% are tubing related. In fact I've replaced tons of tubing this yr to set this exact issue on tanks for locals where I alive.
