Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| D14 flow range | 0.05-14 GPM, Dosatron's best-selling family | Dosatron — Water-Powered Dosing Pumps |
| D45 flow range | 0.4-20 GPM, precision dosing for demanding/large-scale applications | Dosatron — Water-Powered Dosing Pumps |
| D132 flow/ratio range | 35.2-132 GPM; ratio models from 1:30,000-1:3,000 down to 1:1,000-1:100 | Dosatron — Water-Powered Dosing Pumps |
| Drive mechanism | Water-powered/electricity-free proportional piston driven by line water pressure — no external power required | Dosatron — Water-Powered Dosing Pumps |
Dosatron's own D14T documentation flags a real failure mode relevant to agricultural sanitation dosing: manual hand-mixed chemistry can hit correct temperature, contact time, and mechanical action while still drifting in concentration — the reason for automated proportional injection over manual batch mixing.
Fertigation and livestock dosing happen in barns and field heads where grid power is unreliable or absent — Dosatron's whole line runs on line water pressure alone, which is the real reason these injectors dominate agricultural metering over electric alternatives, not just cost.
