Milwaukee MP810 Chemical Dosing Pump with Built-In Controller for Water Treatment Systems

Automated Dosing with the Milwaukee MP810 Dosing Pump

The Milwaukee MP810 Dosing Pump is a compact peristaltic dosing solution engineered to work with digital controllers for automated chemical delivery in water systems.

This pump is commonly paired with Milwaukee EC and pH controllers to maintain stable solution conditions in hydroponics, aquariums, water treatment, and other precision dosing environments. Scientific and application literature on peristaltic dosing highlights the reliability of this pump type for consistent, low‑volume delivery without backflow, making products like the MP810 a standard choice in analytical and process control settings.

Independent product reviews note the MP810’s effectiveness when calibrated with a controller or timer, and feedback from industry users emphasizes its durability and ease of installation for routine dosing tasks across diverse systems. Its most popular uses include pH maintenance in aquaculture, nutrient dosing in hydroponics, and controlled chemical addition in laboratory or industrial setups, with users generally appreciating its steady output and straightforward setup.

The pump offers a steady dosing capability that is particularly effective when integrated with automatic controllers. It delivers consistent fluid displacement suitable for maintaining the precise conditions required by monitoring systems.

Key Features

The Milwaukee MP810 is built with a durable polypropylene housing and a chemical‑resistant peristaltic tube designed to stand up to frequent dosing cycles. Its compact form factor and included mounting bracket make installation on walls or panels fast and secure. When used with compatible controllers, the pump ensures precise automatic chemical additions in response to real‑time measurements, reducing manual dosing and improving system 

Integration with Controllers

Pairing the MP810 with a Milwaukee pH or EC controller enables automated dosing: the controller activates the pump only when set points deviate from desired values, ensuring accurate maintenance of parameters without constant supervision. This makes it especially useful in setups like hydroponic nutrient tanks or aquarium pH management, where conditions need continuous monitoring.

To build a more complete automated dosing and process control system around the Dosing Pump with Controller for Dosing — a controller‑driven pump kit that delivers precise chemical or nutrient additions based on sensor feedback — consider adding complementary instruments that strengthen measurement accuracy, solution stability, and environmental insight:

• Milwaukee MC122 pH Controller — provides continuous pH monitoring and automatic correction by triggering dosing events or alarms when setpoints are exceeded, ideal for aquaculture, hydroponics, and water treatment systems.
• Conductivity EC Controller for Nutrient Tanks — automatically tracks and regulates electrical conductivity (nutrient strength) in reservoirs, supporting balanced solution concentration alongside dosing control.
• Portable Water Quality Meter — a rugged handheld instrument that combines pH, conductivity, dissolved oxygen, and temperature measurement for field and lab verification of solution conditions before and after dosing activities.

Q&A

What applications is the MP810 best suited for?

The MP810 excels in automated dosing for hydroponics, aquariums, industrial process water, laboratory setups, and any system where precise small‑volume chemical addition is required alongside a compatible controller.

Can the MP810 be used on its own without a controller?

Yes, it can function as a standalone peristaltic pump, but it is most accurate and effective when controlled by a pH or EC controller, which manages activation based on measured parameters.

How do I install the MP810 dosing pump?

Mount the pump vertically using the supplied bracket, connect the intake and discharge tubes according to flow direction, and connect the power supply. When paired with a controller, ensure the controller’s output activates the pump at the correct times.

What maintenance does the MP810 require?

Regularly inspect tubing for wear or blockages and replace the peristaltic tube when necessary. Keep the filter clean to prevent flow issues and disconnect power before servicing.
