Default Chemical Proportioner

Question for the gang:

We've often discussed and debated the utility of fertilizer proportioners ranging from hose-end
types to siphons to Dosatrons/Dose-matics.

I have an opportunity to begin carrying a tank-type device that connects to your hose bib, and that
feeds at a constant rate no matter what the flow or back pressure. Price is likely to be less than
$100 for a unit capable of feeding at an adjustable 1000:1 to 100:1 and holding several gallons of
concentrate.

Do you think there would be a value in them? I feel quite certain that if they had been available
before I bought my dosing pumps, I'd have gone with these instead - heck, I mix 5 gallons of
fertilizer concentrate for a 100:1 pump now, you think I'd mind doing so 40% more often to save
$300????

Thanks for your input.
