LazyGrow handles reservoirs from 50L to 1000L when dosing at high nutrient rates (4mL/L). For typical nutrient additions (1mL/L), it can manage reservoirs up to 4000L. Its continuous nutrient and pH adjustment capability also makes it ideal for large-scale hydroponic systems.
Note: If your reservoir exceeds these sizes, you can use LazyGrow on a head tank. For example, a 4000L head tank using 1mL/L nutrient addition could be filled dumped into the your reservoir every 8 hours. Then you could use another Lazygrow for the maintenance dosing on the reservoir. This arrangement would allow much larger system dosing & control.
pH sensors are very sensitive to electrical charges within the water, especially from water pumps that can distort readings. This can occur to the best sensors in industry and the only solution for an automated pH controller to 100% guarantee accurate pH readings is to isolate the sensor from external influences.
The design is a self-cleaning peristaltic pump which does multiple incoming pipes. This gives the pump and pipes longevity, maintenance free for months.
LazyGrow hydroponic nutrient and pH adjustment doser uses your system information to hit your EC and pH levels. This gives LazyGrow the ability to function for any user.
LazyGrow is designed to add nutrients equal up to 25% of your reservoir volume every 2 hours. Maximum volume is 1L of each nutrient every 2 hours, until EC levels are reached. Meaning, it will automatically refresh 100% of the nutrients in 8 hours.
Note: If your nutrients impact the pH, LazyGrow adjusts the pH after each nutrient addition. The first hour is to add nutrients and allow mixing, while the second hour is for pH adjustment and allowing mixing.
LazyGrow uses your system information. For example, if you have a 100 Litre container as your reservoir but it’s only 80% full, then you should tell LazyGrow that your reservoir is 80 Litres, not 100.
If you experience a large overshoot you need to lower the nutrient addition of __mL per Litre. This might be due to the nutrients are more concentrated than expected.
