Default Aquamedic dosing pumps?

Anyone out there own/ed an aquamedic dosing pump? They're cheap so I'm considering a dual channel setup for dosing two part mix. Heard some people had problems, but I'm wondering if anyone experienced one fail first hand and how long did it last?

I have an Aquamedic dosing pump that I use for my auto top off. The tubing inside that gets constantly squished by the wheels needs to get replaced every 2-4 months. Mine is now set on a timer as it has a tendency to stay on sometimes and caused some flooding. Other than that it works great. You are more than welcome to come see it in action.

Anyone using a different brand of parastaltic pump? I was hoping to find one with a variable rate instead of using a timer several times a day. The only place I could find was in the UK.
