2.1 Overview
To effectively set up the Dosetronic system you
must plan for where all the components of the
system will be placed. It will be helpful to refer
to the larger picture of the System overview on
page 3.
This section highlights the steps in chronological
order you need to take for installation of the
Dosetronic kit.
Please read through this section and create a
rough system layout before installation.
2.2 Nutrient Tank Set-up
The nutrient tank requires a constant water level,
water level regulators such as a plastic ball cock
or fl oat switch are recommended.
For large tanks mixing and/or aeration systems
are required. If there is no mixing system in
smaller tanks, stock solutions should be fed in
where the crop return and fresh water enter the
tank.
