Request a Spec Review →Yes. LibertyCES has documented Metering Pump in Hydroponics/Aquaponics applications, including Dosatron D14 and Becker/Iwaki-Walchem. The right model depends on the fluid, concentration, temperature, flow and duty cycle, so send James your process data for a free spec review before final selection.

Real Specifications
| Spec | Value | Source document |
|---|---|---|
| D14 hydroponic sub-line | 0.05-14 GPM D14 family includes a D14MZ-HY hydroponic-specific sub-line | Dosatron — Water-Powered Dosing Pumps |
| D40 hydroponic sub-line | D40MZ-HY nutrient/hydroponic sub-category within the high-flow D40 family | Dosatron — Water-Powered Dosing Pumps |
| Becker hydroponic/aquaponic systems | Becker Engineered Systems builds custom Hydroponic and Aquaponic Systems as a named regular application of its chemical feed system design service | Becker Engineered Systems |
| Iwaki Walchem IX Series | High-precision digital dosing metering pump, handles aggressive chemicals, energy-efficient | Becker Engineered Systems |
Becker's own design process note applies directly here: almost every chemical feed system — hydroponic/aquaponic nutrient dosing included — is built around pH and conductivity probes, with the specific nutrient chemistry determining probe count and type rather than a standard sensor package.
Hydroponic and aquaponic nutrient dosing has a named sub-line in Dosatron's own catalog (D14MZ-HY) because nutrient concentration drift is a crop-loss risk, not just an efficiency question — the same closed-loop pH/conductivity monitoring discipline Becker applies to industrial chemical feed systems, applied to a grow room.
