Good Dispensing Bottles?

[N.Campbell]

Anybody using a pump dispenser bottle to dose ferts? I would like to find a pump dispenser top that outlets a precise amount (e.g. 2ml, 5ml or 10ml) consistently. Anybody know of anybody who sells them for ideally under £5. Also i would like one that fits a 500ml or 750ml bottle.

Cheers,
Neil

Hi
I purchased 4 of these :arrow: http://www.ampulla.co.uk/Shop-For-Glass ... 1-169-186/
The largest is 500ml but they are very good quality.
I think you can get aluminium also.

Thanks for the replies. After starting this thread I found this, thanks to icepotato:

These look great and have a minimalistic quality similar to the ADA. Search for icepotato's thread in the journal section to see them filled with the ferts!

hoggie, those dispensers look great to. Aluminium with be useful in storing liquid carbon as well as it shouldn't be exposed to heat or light.

Many thanks,

Neil

Hoggie do we know how much each ml in each pump comes out?

Anyone know of a dispensing pump that will do less then 1ml per pump for a nano?

Hi Neil
Why don't you just reduce the ferts/trace your adding to the water by 50% or 25% or even 10%.
Then you can still use a 1ml pump.

I'm wanting to dose 0.5mls. So if the bottle pumped 1ml per pump I could just cut the liquid carbon or ferts with 50% RO water?

I can't get my head around these... would they just pump the specified amount (eg 0.5mls) per pump?

Good idea but the quantity is too much.

Dilute your ferts 1:1 (one part of fert: one part of RO Water) and you'll get 50%, therefore 1ml will add all your desired amount of stuff.
