Bluelab PeriPod L3 dispenser, 1200 ml/min

Product detailed description

Bluelab PeriPod L3 is an automatic nutrient and pH adjustment dispenser for commercial and large-volume cultivation. With three peristaltic pumps (one for pH adjustment, two for nutrients) delivering 1200 ml/min - ten times the flow of the M series - it maintains stable pH and nutrient levels even in large tanks. It responds to commands from the Bluelab Pro Controller and doses precisely without manual intervention.

Capacity and accuracy are crucial for large operations: the L3 adjusts in 0.1 pH and 0.1 EC increments with dosing accuracy of ±10% (at 25 °C), keeping the solution within a narrow range even under high consumption. Random checks and manual corrections are eliminated, allowing staff to focus on operations.

Why choose the PeriPod L3

• Tenfold flow rate. 1200 ml/min per pump for large tanks where the M series is insufficient.
• Fine and precise dosing. Adjustments in 0.1 pH and 0.1 EC steps, ±10% accuracy at 25 °C.
• Saves time and labour - no random checks or manual adjustments.
• Quiet operation with fan cooling.
• Manual dosing from the unit for priming tubes.
• Opaque nutrient tubing prevents algae growth.
• Replaceable pumps and tubing for long service life.
• Robust wall-mounted design and support for multi-part fertiliser programmes.

Which PeriPod to choose

The L3 is the commercial choice for large volumes - 1200 ml/min. For hobby and smaller tanks, the M series suffices: PeriPod M3 or the four-pump PeriPod M4 (both 120 ml/min). Note when expanding: L3 units chain only with other L3 units; the M series cannot be combined with L3.

Frequently asked questions

How does the L3 differ from the M series?

The main difference is flow rate: the L3 doses 1200 ml/min per pump, ten times the M series (M3 and M4 have 120 ml/min). The L3 is designed for large commercial tanks and high consumption. It doses with ±10% accuracy at 25 °C and adjusts in 0.1 pH and 0.1 EC steps. It can only chain with other L3 units, not with the M series.

Does the PeriPod L3 operate independently?

No. Dosing is controlled by the Bluelab Pro Controller, which measures pH and EC and sends dosing commands. The controller and products for pH adjustment and fertilisers are sold separately.
