Ecotech Marine Versa VX-1 dosing pump excels in many precision aquarium pump applications
The Versa is much more than your typical “dosing” pump; it is exceptionally precise, sturdy, and versatile. This pump stands out in various precision aquarium applications, including:
- dosing
- auto top off (ATO)
- automated water changes
- reactor feeding
The pump drive features a DC stepper motor with a planetary gearing mechanism. With intelligent control and Bluetooth Low Energy (BLE) connectivity, it offers straightforward and rapid calibration and programming. Experienced hobbyists will quickly see why the Versa is a top choice for precision aquarium pumping. Meanwhile, newcomers will appreciate the simplicity of Mobius control and the wireless connectivity with smart devices.
The Versa is available as a single pump or in a convenient four-pack that comes with a consolidated power rail base station. If you opt for individual pumps, they can easily be added to a base station purchased separately.

With its heavy-duty, commercial-grade construction, the Versa is designed for continuous use, making it suitable for demanding applications. The tough, replaceable tubing ensures impressive longevity with minimal maintenance effort. Keep in mind that feeding can depend on liquid viscosity and other factors.
The Versa’s drive configuration is optimized for precision and durability, two essential features for a leading peristaltic pump in the market. Mobius programming includes safeguards, catch-up features, and a variety of other functions. EcoTech equipment is known for its versatility and powerful control, and Mobius ensures that all this capability is packaged in an intuitive, quick, and hassle-free manner.
The Versa can be utilized for a wide range of aquarium applications. It provides fine control for very small dosing quantities of additives or liquid salts, as well as large volume dispensing for auto top-off systems or automated water changes.
