Ecotech Versa VX-1 Dosing Pump Ecotech Versa VX-1 Dosing Pump Overview The Ecotech Versa VX-1 Dosing Pump is a precision aquarium peristaltic pump designed for more than traditiona l additive dosing. Built with a DC stepper motor, planetary gearing, Mobius app control, and a wide operating range, the Versa VX-1 can be used for calcium and alkalinity dosing, trace elements, kalkwasser, auto top-off, automatic water changes, liquid feeding applications, and reactor feed duties where precise fluid movement is required. EcoTech designed the Versa to handle both very small and high-volume dosing tasks. It can dose as little as 6 microliters per minute, run continuously up to 200 ml per minute, or move up to 300 ml per minute in volumetric operation. With advertised accuracy of 2% or less, heavy-duty construction, laboratory-grade tubing, and Mobius programming, the VX-1 is a premium choice for reef keepers who want a dosing pump that can handle both daily supplementation and more demanding automation tasks. Features of Ecotech Versa VX-1 Dosing Pump Precision peristaltic pump: Designed for accurate fluid movement in marine, reef, and freshwater aquarium systems. Multi-purpose aquarium use: Suitable for dosing, auto top-off, automatic water changes, reactor feeding, and compatible liquid feeding applications. Accurate to 2% or less: Built for dependable dosing performance when calibrated and maintained correctly. Wide dosing range: Capable of extremely small dosing volumes as well as high-volume fluid movement for larger tasks. DC stepper motor: Provides controlled pump movement for precision dosing and repeatable operation. Planetary gearing: Gear drive is optimized for precision, durability, and long-term pump performance. Mobius app control: Program dosing modes, schedules, volumes, rates, and pump behaviour from a compatible smart device. Multiple operating modes: Supports Auto Mode, Continuous Mode, and Manual Mode for different aquarium automation needs. Up to 30 manual events: Manual programming allows up to 30 discrete dosing events per pump within a 24-hour period. Catch-Up and safeguards: Programming features help reduce dosing issues when a pump is interrupted or behind schedule. Heavy-duty construction: Durable ABS plastics, precision gearing, and laboratory-grade tubing are designed for demanding aquarium use. Modular system design: Can be used individually or added to a Versa Base Station for organized multi-pump installations.

Common reef applications include alkalinity, calcium, magnesium, trace elements, amino acids, kalkwasser, automatic water changes, and reactor feed control. Actual dosing accuracy depends on calibration, tubing condition, fluid viscosity, line length, head pressure, and maintenance. Use only aquarium-safe fluids and confirm the pump tubing and fittings are appropriate for the solution being dosed. The VX-1 can operate as a single pump or dock into a Versa Base Station for organized multi-pump systems. Versa Base Station, additional pumps, tubing, containers, and accessories are sold separately unless included in a bundle. Directions for Ecotech Versa VX-1 Dosing Pump Install the pump in a dry, accessible location protected from splashing and salt spray. Connect intake and output tubing securely using the appropriate included connector or compatible fitting. Prime the line and confirm the direction of fluid movement before programming dosing. Pair the pump with Mobius and calibrate it before relying on it for aquarium dosing. Create the desired dosing program using Auto, Continuous, or Manual Mode as appropriate. Start with conservative dosing amounts and verify aquarium parameters regularly. Inspect tubing, fittings, pump head, and dosing containers regularly to prevent leaks, blockages, or inaccurate dosing.
