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 Solenoid kit.

Please read through this section and sketch a
rough system layout on the opposite page before
installation.

2.2 Nutrient Tank Set-up

The nutrient tank requires a constant water level.
Water regulators such as a plastic ball cock or
float switch are necessary.

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 enters the
tank.
