Pump capacity

[wesheltonj]

I am looking at buying your 4 pump model, using 3 for three part and the 4th one for top-off. I lose about 5 US Gallons a week, Will the pump be able to handle this capacity, and without failing early?

The max. dosing amount per day of our dosing units is 40 litres, so this shall be no problem - considering that a pump may always run only max. 15 min non-stop for each dosing (dosing amount is around 0,06 litres/minute).

Five gallones are 22 Litres a week, 3,2 Litres a day. The GHL dosing pump can handle this easy. But have a look at Carolines statement that the pump may not be able to work more than 15 minutes at a time.

I was planning on using your new sensor to control the auto-top off. But it looks like 5, 15 minutes per day would do too.

You mean that you will set up this a a timer and dont use a levelsensor? This can be a risk in some cases, or?
