Hello,
I have owned a Versa dosing pump for around a month now and can not seem to get it to work properly. I have contacted tech support and even been sent out a replacement and still having issues so I have to assume its something on my end.
Currently I have the pump setup under the tank with around 4 feet of line going in the return chamber of my AIO. I am only needing to dose a couple of ml of All of Reef every 24 hours. When I get the pump primed and calibrated it works great and it right on, but slowly that liquid creeps back down the tube a inch or so. When the next dose goes off it is always short because of this. I am using high quality silicon tubing that is zip tied to all joints, the provided barbs from the versa pump and just to ensure the All for Reef container isn't the issue I have the silicon tube directly in the All for Reef solution. I don't see any air bubbles in the line, no leaks under the pump or at any fitting and I don't know what else to do to try and fix the issue. Thought about going with RODI tubing instead, but if there isn't any leaks then my thought is that pump is just not holding the prime fully withing the mechanism and changing out silicon tubes for RODI shouldn't have anything to do with that.
If anyone has any insight I would greatly appreciate it.
Thanks
