Bluelab PeriPod M3

Bluelab PeriPod M3 — Automated Peristaltic Dosing for Hydroponic Reservoirs

The Bluelab® PeriPod M3 is a precision peristaltic dosing system designed to work seamlessly with the Bluelab® Pro Controller™, delivering a fully automated, closed-loop solution for reservoir pH and nutrient management. Purpose-built for commercial and advanced hobbyist hydroponic operations, the PeriPod M3 eliminates manual dosing errors and maintains optimal growing conditions around the clock.

The unit features three peristaltic pumps: one dedicated 120 ml (4 fl oz)/min pump for pH adjuster solutions and two 120 ml (4 fl oz)/min pumps for nutrient stock solutions. Each pump responds directly to dosing triggers from the Bluelab® Pro Controller™, ensuring precise, repeatable delivery every time. Acid/alkaline-resistant tubing — 13 ft for pH correction and 13 ft for nutrient stock — is included for immediate installation.

Grow sites vary widely, so the PeriPod M3 is engineered for flexibility. Choose the pump configuration that matches your reservoir size and crop demands, and expand your system with optional accessories such as the Bluelab Alarm Box and Sample Pot for enhanced monitoring and alerting.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the Bluelab PeriPod M3 do and how does it work?

The Bluelab PeriPod M3 is an automated peristaltic dosing unit that connects to the Bluelab® Pro Controller™. When the controller detects that pH or nutrient levels in your reservoir have drifted outside your target range, it sends a dosing trigger to the PeriPod M3. The unit then activates the appropriate peristaltic pump — delivering pH adjuster or nutrient stock solution at a precise 120 ml/min flow rate — until levels return to the set point. This creates a fully closed-loop, hands-free reservoir management system ideal for hydroponic, aquaponic, and controlled-environment agriculture (CEA) applications.

Is the Bluelab PeriPod M3 compatible with the Bluelab Pro Controller?

Yes. The PeriPod M3 is specifically engineered to pair with the Bluelab® Pro Controller™. The Pro Controller monitors your reservoir's pH and nutrient (EC) levels in real time and sends dosing commands directly to the PeriPod M3. Together, they form an integrated, automated dosing system that removes the need for manual intervention, reduces human error, and maintains consistent growing conditions 24/7.

What size reservoir can the Bluelab PeriPod M3 handle?

The PeriPod M3 is suitable for a wide range of reservoir sizes, from small-scale hobby setups to large commercial hydroponic systems. Each of its three peristaltic pumps delivers up to 120 ml (4 fl oz) per minute, providing sufficient dosing capacity for most grow-site configurations. For very high-volume reservoirs, Bluelab offers additional pump options and accessories — including the Sample Pot and Alarm Box — to scale the system to your specific needs.

What tubing and chemicals are compatible with the Bluelab PeriPod M3?

The PeriPod M3 ships with 13 ft of acid/alkaline-resistant tubing for pH correction solution and 13 ft of tubing for nutrient stock solution. This tubing is rated to handle the corrosive nature of pH-up, pH-down, and concentrated nutrient solutions. Always use tubing rated for acid/alkaline exposure when replacing or extending runs. Standard hydroponic pH adjusters and two-part or three-part nutrient concentrates are compatible with the system.
