Dilution Solutions Nutrient Delivery System Nutrient Monitor Kit, 3/4 in

NDS Monitor Kit with Mixing Chamber, 3/4 Inch – HYKMON

The Dilution Solutions HYKMON is the NDS Monitor Kit for 3/4-inch Lo-Flo Nutrient Delivery System installations. Like the 1-1/2-inch HYKMON150, it provides real-time inline monitoring of EC/ppm, pH, and temperature of the nutrient solution downstream of the Dosatron injectors and mixing chamber. This gives the grower immediate confirmation that the dosing system is operating correctly.

The HYKMON kit includes the inline monitor, mixing chamber, nipple, unions, tees, cross fitting, ball valve, pressure gauge, hose adapter, reducer bushings, and a roll of Teflon tape — all the components needed for a complete 3/4-inch inline monitor installation. Assembly is required. With a Starter Kit, Dosatron Injectors, and Water Hammer Arrestor Kit, the HYKMON completes a fully instrumented Lo-Flo NDS.

Key Features & Benefits

• Inline EC/ppm, pH, Temperature Monitor — Real-time display of nutrient solution concentration, pH, and temperature.
• 3/4-Inch Lo-Flo System — Sized for 3/4-inch Lo-Flo NDS installations.
• Mixing Chamber Included — Ensures a well-blended solution before it passes the monitor probes for accurate readings.
• Pressure Gauge Included — Monitors system pressure alongside nutrient solution parameters.
• Full Plumbing Hardware — Includes unions, tees, cross, ball valve, hose adapter, reducer bushings, and Teflon tape.
• Assembly Required — Field assembly of all plumbing components is required.

Who Should Use This Kit

The HYKMON is for 3/4-inch Lo-Flo NDS installations where inline monitoring of EC/ppm, pH, and temperature is required. It is the complete monitoring solution for growers building a fully instrumented Lo-Flo NDS.

How Mixing Chamber Placement Affects Monitor Accuracy

For an inline EC/pH monitor to give accurate readings, the nutrient solution reaching the monitor probes must be fully blended — concentrate and water must be homogenized before measurement. If the monitor probes are placed too close to the injector outlet, the solution may still be stratified, with pockets of higher or lower concentration passing the probes at different times. The mixing chamber installed upstream of the monitor ensures a homogeneous blend before the solution reaches the probes, resulting in stable and accurate EC/pH readings.

Frequently Asked Questions

What does the HYKMON include?

The kit includes the inline nutrient monitor, mixing chamber, nipple, unions, tees, cross, ball valve, pressure gauge, hose adapter, reducer bushings, and Teflon tape.

What parameters does the monitor display?

EC/ppm, pH, and temperature of the nutrient solution.

What other components complete the Lo-Flo NDS?

In addition to the HYKMON, you need Dosatron Injectors, a Starter Kit (HYKSTART or HYKSTART-DAB), and a Water Hammer Arrestor Kit (WHA34-SS-KIT).

Is there a 1-1/2-inch version?

Yes. The HYKMON150 (DSGCMKWMC1.5) is the 1-1/2-inch Hi-Flo version of this kit.

Is assembly required?

Yes. Assembly of all plumbing components is required during installation.
