The EcoTech Marine Versa VX-1 is a precisely adjustable peristaltic pump for dosing additives, reactor feeding, and other tasks requiring controlled fluid transfer. The same pump is suitable for both small doses and continuous operation.
More than just a dosing pump
With the Versa, you can dose, for example, KH, calcium, and magnesium solutions, or feed water into a reactor. Automatic water changes can be implemented using two pumps: one removes old water, and the other adds new. Top-off water usage requires a suitable water level monitoring and control system.
Programming via the Mobius app
-
Auto: schedules dosing defined by the user according to the selected additive. The pump does not measure water parameters or determine the required dose.
-
Manual: up to 30 separate dosing events per day per pump. You can define the dose and its duration or flow rate.
-
Continuous: continuous flow at a selected speed. Start and stop can be arranged with external control if necessary.
Design intended for continuous use
The drive mechanism, implemented with planetary gearing, combines precise control with a wide flow range. The pump tube is a replaceable maintenance part. Calibrate the pump upon setup and check the dosing regularly, especially after changing the tube.

Korallifarmi's recommendation
We recommend the Versa when you need a pump more versatile than a standard dosing pump, for example, for reactor feeding or continuous fluid transfer. The amount to be dosed is always determined based on the aquarium's measured water parameters and consumption.
