£220 seems a lot for 3 peri pumps......i need 3 for my set up and just wondering if theres any benifit to that over just buying 3 seperates????

actually - i suppose one benifit is a single plug...anything else?

Hi Tiggsy,

Single plug, 1ml dose, full control ie, tell the controller you want 127ml over 24 hr in 8 doses and its done for you so good for liquid feeding, low level additives etc.

Far more adaptable than a stand alone pump.

If they are reliable peri's then 220 for three peris is an excellent price!

well...not exactly, Ians points are valid but a normal peri is £50-60? and i would have assumed a unit of 3 would be cheaper than buying 3 seperates.

theys ound great for acurate dosing, i need 3 or 4 to do top up, calc reactor flow and a couple for dosing and feeding - in my case it seems better to just buy seperates (although i have just bought a unit with 3 plug bars so i have no shortage of sockets!)

Hi Tiggsy,

I would recommend you get one tronica unit and one sinlge, use the single for RO top up, then the multi could be used for food via the timer function, kalk via pH and for now the reactor on full, but when the calcium probe is ready, by demand?

imo the best feature of these is the removable heads so its easy to get new parts and even simpler to fix them !!
