I have a two channel in my cart I'm trying to talking myself into it. I watched the video from SWA.com earlier today and when I heard the price it caught my attention. I'm considering it for 2part that I'm currently manual dosing on one system. The lack of being able to program individual times has me concerned. They talked about how simple it is to use because you can choose to dose day or night. With 2 part I want it dosing close together just staggered not adding alk durring day and calcium at night. Maybe it has the ability but the only way to know is get one or wait for someone else to get one

EDIT : I talked myself out of it. I'm not too fond of having an optical sensor to determine when my container is empty. It means there will not be a notification untill it's completely empty and the hose is now full of air. Also an air bubble can cause it to think the container is empty so if I get a bubble when I refill the container I assume it will stop dosing but I really don't know. I don't have a lot of experience with dosers so maybe my concerns are unfounded but I'll wait for a hands on review.

They said you can do "daily" dosing where you just enter the total volume you want for the day and it divides it into multiple doses for you. I think I remember reading that you can also set it to offset dosing for each pump so you're not doing them all at the same time... Like pump 1 does it's dose, then 15 (or 30 or whatever) minutes later pump 2 does its dose.

What I'm wondering about is (in the SWA.com) video, it says 1ml/day is the smallest dose. I'm wondering what the smallest individual dose is or can be.

Good question. I updated my post with a concern about the optical sensor.

Hi!
Our optical sensor detection can be turned OFF if you don't like it~

Hi!
Each pump interval time is 7 minutes
Therefore, it can avoid every pump operating in the same time~

As dosing volume, each pump daily dosing volume min is 1ml.

That is correct. For some reason they don't support decimals or fractions of a milliliter in any of their settings
That means that the smallest dose you can do is 1 ml. (Not great if you're dosing elements).
I find that very odd. I can only think they made that design decision for simplicity at the expense of functionality.
I hope they fix it in a future software release as their pumps should be able to handle that precision. (They pump 6 mL in 20 seconds)
