Dosatron Athena Blended Kit – 6-Chamber Dosing Kit for Multi-Part Recipes

The Dosatron Kit Athena Blended is the most complete equipment in the range: six mixing chambers and six D3RE series proportional dosers to inject multi-part recipes in a single pass, with monitoring included and no electricity required to move the product.

What is a Dosatron proportional dosing pump?

Dosatron is a French manufacturer based in Tresses that has been making hydraulic proportional dosing pumps since 1974. Each doser is installed in-line with the irrigation water and operates using the pressure of the water itself as the sole driving force: no motor, no power outlet.

The equipment draws the concentrate from the drum and injects it at a fixed percentage of the flow passing through it, so the dose is always proportional to the volume of water even if the flow and pressure vary. A peristaltic pump cannot guarantee this: it delivers a volume per unit of time, so any variation in flow alters the final concentration.

What is included in the Athena Blended Kit?

• Monitor kit (HYKNOMON-BSP): to read the EC and pH of the output solution, with an integrated mixing chamber. Monitor not included.
• 3 x D3RE3000 VF (0.03 - 0.3 %).
• 2 x D3RE2 (0.2 - 2 %).
• 6 mixing chambers (HYKMC34-BSP), one for each injection point.
• Starter kit (HYKSTART-STD-BSP): isolation ball valve, 200 mesh filter (80 µm), inlet pressure gauge, freshwater port, check valve, and BSP accessories.
• 1 x D3RE3000 AF (0.03 - 0.3 %, Aflas seals).
• 1 x Guardian Monitor Inline Wi-Fi, a Bluelab brand component (not a Dosatron product), to continuously monitor the solution.

Six chambers because there are six injections

The golden rule of proportional dosing is one pump per bottle: each component of the recipe needs its own injector. A six-part recipe requires six dosers in series, and each injection needs its own mixing chamber so that the product is homogenized before the next one enters. That is why this kit includes six chambers instead of three: it is sized for full recipes, not for a base plus an additive.

VF and AF: they are not interchangeable

• VF uses Viton seals, for neutral or acidic products.
• AF uses AFLAS seals, and is mandatory for alkaline or high-pH products (pH Up, silicates).

Swapping one for the other is not a valid alternative: Viton degrades when exposed to alkaline products, and the seals fail prematurely. The AF unit in this kit is there precisely for the alkaline line of your recipe.

Doser specifications

• D3RE2: flow rate from 10 l/h to 3 m³/h, pressure 0.3 - 6 bar, dosing 0.2 - 2 % (2 - 20 ml/l), 3/4" connection, integrated bypass.
• D3RE3000 VF / AF: same flow rate and pressure, dosing 0.03 - 0.3 % (0.3 - 3 ml/l), polypropylene body, 3/4" NPT connection, maximum temperature 40 °C.

How to choose your Dosatron equipment

1. System flow rate: up to about 1,100 l/h, Hobby range. Up to 3,000 l/h, D3RE / D14MZ range.
2. Available pressure: the Hobby range requires a minimum of 2.5 bar. This is the most common mistake: it will not work with 1.5 bar of network pressure. The D3RE, on the other hand, starts from 0.3 bar.
3. Recipe percentage: for concentrated base fertilizer, 0.2 - 2 % (D3RE2). For additive, pH, or silicate, 0.03 - 0.3 % (D3RE3000).
4. Product chemistry: VF (Viton) for neutral or acidic products; AF (Aflas) for alkaline products.
5. One pump per bottle: a 4-part recipe requires 4 pumps in series. That is why this equipment is sold in kits.

At GrowIndustry we only work with proven quality products and trusted brands.

Every item goes through a check before shipping to make sure it arrives in perfect condition and ready to use.

Your satisfaction is our priority.

1. Divide your recipe: one doser per tank. Use the D3RE2 for concentrated bases and the D3RE3000 for additives, pH, and silicate.
2. Reserve the D3RE3000 AF for the alkaline product in the recipe. Its Aflas seals are the only ones that can withstand it.
3. Install the starter kit at the beginning of the line: ball valve, 200 mesh filter, pressure gauge, fresh water port, and check valve.
4. Mount the six dosers in series, alternating a mixing chamber after each injection, respecting the direction of flow.
5. Place the monitor kit at the end of the train and connect the Guardian Monitor Inline Wi-Fi to monitor the CE and pH of the outlet solution.
6. Adjust the percentage of each pump, open the water slowly, purge the air, and compare the outlet reading with your target recipe.
