The Paradime Fertigation System

Description

Mixed in the line, at the rate it belongs there.

Paradime doses every nutrient into the water as it moves. The flow meter sets the pace: slow the line and every pump slows with it, so the feed holds the strength you set from the first gallon to the last. There is no batch tank to fill, store or clean.

A scaled nutrient is read by its scale during the feed, so its pump auto-calibrates as it goes and helps calibrate the rest. Every feed is recorded, pump by pump, so you can see what went out and when.

When the feed ends, the pumps stop and clean water pushes the last of the feed out to the plants. Nothing is left standing in the line until the next run, and nothing goes to drain.

How it is paid for

$39,000, one price, two ways to pay it:

• $35,000 paid in full. Two months come off the total.
• $15,000 with your order, then twelve payments of $2,000.

Monthly payments run by ACH auto-debit, with a card kept on file as backup. Nothing is charged until you sign.

Your plan from month 13

Pick one when your included year ends: Core at $0, Connected at $199/mo or Pro at $499/mo. Core is free for good: dosing, irrigation, the local screen and fault alarms keep running with no subscription. Connected adds the cloud, feed history, remote control, alarms to your phone and Hydros, the built-in assistant. Your first scale doesn’t count as a device. Compare the plans

Add to it

• More dosing pumps: one per part of your program. Whole fives go in a 5-pump box at $1,500 a channel; anything left over goes in a mini box. A second 5-pump box onward earns a volume discount.
• pH & EC sensor package: GF Signet in-line, with fittings. Needs a Connected plan.
• Environment sensors: wireless room, light and root-zone sensors, logged against every feed.
• Additional zone boxes: 16 more valve channels each.
• On-site display kit: 24″ monitor, cable, mount, keyboard and mouse, if you want it driveable at the panel.
