Bluelab PeriPod M3 | Three 120 ml/min Dosing Pumps for Pro Controller

Bluelab PeriPod M3 Dosing Pumps for Automated Reservoirs

A reservoir drifts every hour as plants drink, and a doser closes that gap without anyone standing over the tank. This is Bluelab's PeriPod, product code PERIPODM3, a wall-mounted pod carrying three peristaltic pumps. Each pump moves up to 120 ml (4 fl oz) per minute, a pace suited to small and mid-size reservoirs. Out of the box, pump 1 doses pH adjuster, while pumps 2 and 3 dose nutrient parts A and B. Any pump can be reassigned to pH or nutrient in the Edenic app. The pod has no sensors of its own. It responds to dosing triggers from the Bluelab Pro Controller Wi-Fi, which reads pH and conductivity and decides when to run. Up to three M-series PeriPods chain together on one controller, for as many as 12 pumps. Power comes from a 24 VDC, 2 A adapter that accepts 100–240 VAC. The box includes a dosing cable, mounting screws and 13 ft of acid- and alkali-resistant pH tubing. Three more lengths of food-grade tubing, each 13 feet long, carry the nutrient stock.

Multi-Part Nutrient Dosing From a Feed Chart

Enter the millilitres per gallon for each part from a feed chart, and the app works out the ratio between pumps. During each dose, the pod switches pumps on and off so every part lands in its correct proportion. Mount the pod higher than both the reservoir and the stock bottles, but never directly above the tank. Keep it within about five feet of an outlet and close enough for the outlet tubes to reach. Cut every tube at a 45-degree angle so the inlet never seals against the bottom of a bottle. The outlet tubes should drip above the waterline, kept apart so concentrated parts do not precipitate together. Prime each pump by hand before the first automatic dose. Calibrate the nutrient pumps at setup, after any nutrient change and every 30 days. Accurate ratios need about 100 seconds of total dosing time. For tanks under roughly 25 gallons, dilute every nutrient part with an equal volume of water. The peristaltic tubing is a wear part rated for more than 750 running hours, and replacements swap in quickly.

Key Features

• Three Peristaltic Pumps: Each pump doses up to 120 ml per minute, and any of them can be set for pH or nutrient.
• Pro Controller Driven: The Pro Controller Wi-Fi reads the tank and sends the dosing triggers, so the pod needs no sensors.
• Feed Chart Ratios: The Edenic app turns ml-per-gallon entries into pump ratios for two-part and multi-part nutrient lines.
• Individual Pump Calibration: Each nutrient pump calibrates to its own solution, which keeps viscous parts in proportion.
• Chains to 12 Pumps: Up to three M-series pods link to one controller for complex multi-part schedules.
• Chemical-Resistant Tubing: PTFE pH tubing handles undiluted Bluelab pH Up and pH Down, and opaque tubing helps limit algae.
• Replaceable Wear Parts: Pump motors, cassettes and tubing swap out individually instead of replacing the whole pod.
