EACH AUTODOSING SYSTEM
IS A LITTLE DIFFERENT,
but the most common set-up is
a system that can handle four
different solutions for injection.”
WHAT IS AN AUTODOSER?
An autodoser system is a network of equipment
that helps maintain nutrient and pH levels in a
hydroponic system or automated irrigation system.
Autodosers measure the pH and/or the concentration
of nutrients within the reservoir and automatically
make adjustments to bring these concentrations to
preset levels. An autodosing system ensures stable
chemical levels, prevents overcorrecting and under-
feeding, saves on labor, and avoids sudden changes
in the nutrient solution parameters. Autodosers
inject nutrients into the hydroponic system’s water
reservoir or water feed lines, and they are designed
to maintain precise parts per million (ppm) levels
within the nutrient solution. Most autodosers include
a controller or work in conjunction with a controller
that monitors the concentration of chemicals in the
solution and triggers the system to make adjustments
when needed. There are m
