Everything we buy for nutrient injection, irrigation and remote monitoring, with supplier links: the Dosatron injector setup, pump and filter, bench irrigation, the DIG filter, Govee sensors and the reservoir wavemaker.
Dosatron buying guide
| Component | Function | Item number |
|---|---|---|
| 3/4 in. Dosatron D14MZ2 injector — 2 needed (A and B) | Injects concentrate into the water line at the set ratio. | D14MZ2 |
| 3/4 in. DAB starter kit | Includes the inlet parts for the nutrient delivery system. | HYKSTART-DAB |
| 3/4 in. water hammer arrestor kit | Protects the system from water hammer. | WHA34-SS-KIT |
| 3/4 in. mixing chamber kit | Enhances blending as the solution passes through. | HYKMC34 |
| 3/4 in. monitor kit | Measures and displays the EC and pH of the blended outgoing solution. | HYKMON |
CropSalt doser setting / 1:128 (0.8%)
Use two D14MZ2 injectors — one for A, one for B — both set to 1:128 (0.8%). A and B always run at the same rate, so when you change EC, adjust both injectors equally. During the Cake finish, run Cake through one injector and turn the other off.

TOP-000 is the manifold body; outlet emitters and tubing adapters are sold separately.
DIG filter reference
1-1/2 in. stainless steel screen filter with flush cap
Govee remote monitoring
Temperature, humidity, leak alerts and remote control from your phone.
Govee H5179 Wi-Fi sensor
Temperature + humidity. We hang these throughout grow rooms and dry rooms. Shade grow-room sensors with a small piece of cardboard so light does not heat the sensor; leave room for air to move around it.
GoveeLife Water Leak Detector 1s
Early leak + flood alerts. Choose H5059 sensors with the H5044 Wi-Fi gateway for phone alerts. Place them where leaks collect. Adjust or mute the audible alarm to suit the garden, while keeping phone alerts enabled.
H5083 single plug + H5082 dual plug
Remote power for low-amperage equipment. A simple way to switch suitable equipment remotely. Match the device and its startup load to the plug's rating; two outlets do not double its total capacity.
How we set them up
Name each H5179 in the app and label the sensor to match. Compare them together in a covered 5-gallon bucket with our Vaisala for one hour, before placement and after every crop. Use the graphs to spot missing watering-time humidity spikes or unusual lights-on/lights-off temperature trends, then check the equipment. Even a sophisticated control system benefits from an inexpensive independent monitor.
Reservoir wavemaker
The wavemakers we use for mixing and pH dosing.
