Bluelab Dosetronic Controller
The Bluelab Dosetronic is an automated dosing controller which is highly recommended for Recirculating Systems (NFT, Flood and Drain) or for single to multi zone Batched Dosing Drip Fertigation Systems where all zones are to use the same nutrient strength.
The Dosetronic is available as a bare controller or as part of a complete kit with either Triple Peristaltic Dosing pumps or Triple Solenoid dosing Valves (A, B, pH).
Simply program the nutrient and pH strength you would like the hydroponic system to be run at and set the “Dose On” and “Dose Off” intervals to suit the size of your tank.
The Bluelab Dosetronic will then tirelessly manage your pre-programmed set points by activating the Peristaltic Dosing Pumps or gravity fed Solenoid Valves connected to your A, B & pH stock solution tanks.
This provides an exact nutrient and pH strength for your crop 24 hours a day, 7 days a week which matches the fluctuating feeding patterns of the crop.
The Dosetronic controller is truly the work horse of the international industry and has been exported worldwide for over 20 years with a sound reputation for accuracy and reliability.
The latest model is a compact, feature packed unit which builds upon the solid performance of its predecessors.
The Dosetronic is highly recommended for every serious hydroponic grower who values a consistently high level of quality in their crop.
It also frees up valuable time for a grower so they can focus on other important aspects of their business.
The Bluelab Dosetronic is an investment in crop quality that will quickly pay for itself.
