A 5000ml Measuring Cup Built for Reservoir-Sized Batches
Five liters is more than a gallon jug holds, and that is the scale this DL Wholesale Measure Me works at. It holds 5000 ml and reads in 100 ml increments from 0 to 5000 ml on a scale marked inside the wall. A second scale climbs in 1/2 L increments to 5 L for feed charts written per liter. One full fill is about 1.3 gallons, so a 5-gallon bucket takes roughly four fills. It measures liquids and bulk solid ingredients alike, which makes it as useful for perlite as it is for water. A conversion chart printed on the side covers teaspoons through gallons, milliliters and liters in US and metric units. The chart lists 1 cup = 236.59 ml and 1 qt = 946 ml for converting US label rates. The body is translucent polypropylene, marked PP near the base, and rated high impact and virtually unbreakable. It is also flame retardant, food-contact acceptable and resistant to high heat. The strengthened handle matters most at this size, since a full cup is heavy on the pour. Empty, it weighs 0.8 lb and measures 10 x 9.5 x 10 in.
Using a 5 Liter Measuring Jug Around Tanks and Buckets
This is the cup for building whole reservoirs rather than dosing from bottles. Fill the tank with water first and measure each base part separately, stirring it in before the next one goes in. Rinsing between parts keeps concentrated calcium away from sulfates and phosphates until both are diluted. Growers running several buckets or a small recirculating system use it to stage plain water and premixed solution on the floor. Dry media measures by volume in it too, from perlite and coco for a mix to a granular top-dress across a bench of pots. Set it on a flat surface and read the line at eye level through the clear wall. Coarse graduations are the honest limit at this size. Additive doses of a few milliliters sit far below the first line and cannot be read on this scale. A full cup is also heavy, so pour with the handle and a hand under the base. Rinse it after use and dry it upside down so salts never crust on the scale.
