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 traditional 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.

Ecotech Versa VX-1 Dosing Pump Compatibility/Notes

• Suitable for marine, reef, and freshwater aquariums where controlled fluid dosing or transfer is required.
• 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.
