Add Multiple Dosers with Ease

Maybe you only need one doser. Maybe you need three...or 15. Connect unlimited Secondary Units to the Primary Unit and control them all from the same app on your smartphone. Remove the side panels and simply slide what you need in place. All powered by one Primary Unit.

Color Coding

Use the included color rings and hose clips to color code your supplements for easy identification inline. Or use all the same color for a clean look. Every Primary and Secondary unit comes with one each of red, orange, yellow, green, teal, blue, and purple.

Mounting Bracket Included

The included, removable mounting bracket allows you to mount the units. It is not necessary when placed on a horizontal surface, but it also works as a pedestal in this orientation.

Rotating Head

The head rotates 360º with 8 locking positions so you can mount the units in any orientation you like with the freedom to organize and manage the lines any way you see fit.

Slim Profile

A single unit is just 2.625” wide. Slim profile design means more dosers in less space. Even with 8 units, once removing the side panels and connecting each unit, the total length is under 17” (43 cm).

Scan Product Barcodes for Auto Setup

Scan a compatible Seachem or aquavitro product barcode and the app will automatically calculate and setup dosing based on your aquarium volume.

The sentia® App

With the sentia® app, take control of the sentia® dose modular doser. Manage multiple aquariums and devices. View statistics like reservoir levels, upcoming doses and scheduled water tests at a glance. Receive alerts and reminders, and review dosing logs to keep you in control of your dosing regimen. Automatically create suggested dosing schedules or create your own with complete versatility of days of the week, time of day, doses per day, total volume, and volume per dose.

Multiple Dosing Modes

In addition to the ability to manually dose using the pump itself, you can do an Instant Dose using the app at anytime, but of course the real advantages come from the versatility in scheduling and the four different dosing modes that allow you to more easily dial in the correct doses and best schedule for your system.

Quick Adjust

Incremental changes in the aquarium are the best practice. Use the Quick Adjust feature to easily make small percentage adjustments to the dose.

Suggested

Use the Suggested Dose feature to quickly autofill the correct dosage and appropriate schedule based directly on your water volume.

*Compatible Seachem and aquavitro products

Calculated

Perform a water test. Then enter your measured and desired levels. The app calculates and adjusts your dosing schedule automatically to compensate for the difference between your desired level and tested level.

*Compatible Seachem and aquavitro products

Adaptive

Game changing approach to using a doser! Perform a water test. Then enter your measured and desired levels. The app calculates how much more or less to dose and also adjusts the schedule for you. The app will also perform a catch up dose over 48 hours or suspend dosing as needed to adjust levels faster in a safe manner. The app also sets up a reminder to test in a week to continue refining dosing consistently. There’s no better way to approach using a doser to maintain precise levels in an aquarium!

FAQ

I set up my sentia® doser and the pump sounds like it is running and even vibrates a little but no fluid is moving through the line. What is wrong?

A: In some cases, during initial assembly or during shipping the tightness of the tubing in the pump head becomes loose and the pump rollers do not make enough contact with the tubing. To fix this, simply grab the two lines coming from the pump head and pull them tightly away from the pump head while pressing the manual dose button (the button that looks like a drop) for 15 – 20 seconds. This should adjust tightness of the tubing against the rollers and head unit will begin to pump fluid properly.

I looked at the Doser History in the app. It says on one day the doser dosed almost twice as much as it should have!

A: Once connected to a WiFi network, each doser will send information about its status to the main server and to the app every minute. Even if it loses the connection (due to a network problem perhaps), the minute after the network is available it updates its status, including any doses made and the Dose History appear properly.
However, when the network connection is lost for any period across midnight AND when there is a dose(s) scheduled during that same time frame the Dose History will show a false duplicate dose.
For instance, a doser loses connection on Tuesday at 10PM until Wednesday at 2AM. There is a dose on that particular doser scheduled for 11PM. Even though the doser has lost its network connection it will still do its physical dose at 11PM. Then the network reconnects at 2:00AM and the doser updates it status at 2:01AM. The dose that happened at 11PM gets added to the Dose History of the next day - Wednesday. So, when the doser records the dose again at 11PM it looks like you suddenly have twice as much dosed when in actuality the doser has really simply followed the dosing schedule. The system is merely trying to accurately convey the information that it did dose as it should have on Tuesday but it adds it to the Wednesday history thereby providing a view that makes it look like a double dose.
Another example where a doser loses connection on Tuesday at 10PM until Wednesday at 2AM. There is a dose on that particular doser scheduled for 9PM. The sentia is communicating regularly until 9:59PM so the update to the server is completely fine and the Dose History is recorded correctly.
Instances of the Dose History showing a duplicate dose are quite rare as it depends on a combination of a network disconnection at or before11:59PM to sometime past 12:00AM on any given day AND a particular dose(s) during that lost connection time frame. It is a matter of the doser trying to make certain it records the Dose History in spite of disconnection from the network.
