Hi hma, great to meet you here.
Well, this is only my opinion, but I think, that a hosepump, that does
not hold the hose tight, is a missdesigned product.
Shipping the workaround for that together with the produkt does not make it any better IMHO. It does only say, that the manufacturer already know the problem but does not do anything against it.
Maybe I should have used different valves from another manufacturer.
Dosing about 2 liters per Balling solutions a day resultet in:
- the NaHCO3 valve got stuck after 1 month
- the CaCl2 valve got a "run through" after 2 month and due to the fact, that the hose unfortunately endet half a cm under the watersurface, about 100 liter reefwater got on my floor.
That, together with the same experience from a guy on reefcentral brought me to my judgement. I tossed the pumps, not willing to sell it to another person on e***.
Seems, that you're happy with the pumps. Great, but I cannot share that experience ;-)
Thanks, best,

Hello Ralf, nice to meat you here on RS. You are right certainly if you write the AquaMedic pump is a missdesigned product. I did not want to deny this. I wanted to show merely a workaround for that. I am use a GroTech III NG too, but some of my friends use the AquaMedic with the quite described modification and are contented with it.
