Vertex Libra
 
Anybody using one of these yet?

I'm thinking of getting a doser and was leaning towards this one. Good, bad?

Been using stepper version for few months now. Super user friendly to use thanks to the touchscreen interface. Haven't had any issues yet but 3rd pump can cause a bit of noise due to vibration against side wall. Unit is bit tall compared to other dosers. Other than that I love my libra! :mrgreen:

If your interested in the stepper version talk to Jeff at J&L he gave me a awesome deal on it.

I've installed a bunch. They're pretty much the best thing ever. EVER.

That's it? Nobody else using the Libra?

It's a $500-$650 big kid's toy. Don't think you'll find many people slinging that amount of money around these days.

I would also say that of the ones I've installed (around 10?), exactly zero of those people use message boards.

True I suppose...

Have you been installing around the lower mainland?

No complaints from anyone? Have you been using the Libra Containers or using a DIY kind of thing for AK, CA and MG?

Zero complaints. I've been installing them all over the lower mainland/GVRD area. I've had people use both the Libra containers and/or DIY solutions (salt buckets, milk jugs, etc).

No complaints. It's exactly what you'd expect from a high-end product.

What's the biggest tank you've installed one on?

mikepclo 02-12-2013 10:14 PM

I use the Vertex containers. Had issues air leakage, you fix by applying teflon tape to the connector. Also when removing the lip on the containers to slowly and carefully when lifting as it's pretty easy to break the hard plastic tubing inside. I was careful and still broke it the 2nd time Ooops :redface:
