Bluelab PeriPod M4 dispenser, 120 ml/min

Product detailed description

Bluelab PeriPod M4 is an automatic nutrient and pH adjustment dispenser for growers who need to dose multiple solution components simultaneously. Compared to the M3 model, it has one extra pump - a total of four: one for pH adjustment and three for nutrients. It responds to commands from the Bluelab Pro Controller and precisely doses pH adjustment and nutrient products into the tank.

The fourth pump is useful for multi-component fertilising programmes - you can add another nutrient part without needing to chain a second unit. The dosing rate remains 120 ml/min per pump as with the M3, differing only in the number of channels. Automation saves you from random checks and manual corrections - stable pH and nutrient levels mean optimal nutrient availability and less stress for plants.

Why choose PeriPod M4

• Four dosing channels. One pump for pH adjustment + three for nutrients - one more channel than M3, ideal for multi-component fertilising.
• Accurate and consistent dosing with peristaltic pumps, 120 ml/min per pump.
• Saves time and labour - no random checks or manual solution adjustments.
• Quiet operation with fan cooling for consistent performance.
• Manual dosing from the unit for priming hoses during installation.
• Flexible placement - the dispenser can be positioned lower than the injection point.
• Opaque nutrient tubing prevents algae growth.
• Replaceable pumps and tubing for long service life.
• Robust wall-mounted design.
• Expandable - up to 12 pumps can be connected.

Which PeriPod to choose

The M4 has four dosing channels - one more than the three-pump PeriPod M3 (both dose 120 ml/min and can be chained). Choose the M4 if you want to dose an additional nutrient part without a second unit. For large commercial volumes, there is the PeriPod L3 with ten times the flow rate of 1200 ml/min.

Frequently asked questions

What is the difference between PeriPod M3 and M4?

The main difference is the number of dosing channels: M3 has three pumps (one for pH, two for nutrients), M4 has four (one for pH, three for nutrients). The dosing rate is the same for both, 120 ml/min per pump. M4 can handle one more nutrient part without chaining another unit. Both are controlled by the Bluelab Pro Controller and can be connected; for large commercial volumes, the L3 is more suitable.

Does the PeriPod M4 work independently?

No. Dosing is controlled by the Bluelab Pro Controller, which measures pH and EC and sends commands to the unit on when and how much to dose. The controller and products for pH adjustment and fertilisers are sold separately.
