Aquascape Automatic Dosing Systems
Automatic dosing without confusing the refill systems
An automatic dosing system adds measured quantities of a compatible treatment at the selected setting. It can make routine water care more consistent, but still needs the correct pond volume, refill and maintenance. Compare the compact SL system, the larger smart XT system and any legacy equipment by their own specifications.
Will it diagnose or fix poor water quality automatically?
No. It dispenses the selected treatment. You still need to monitor the pond, maintain filtration and use the correct formulation and setting.
Choose the dispenser for the feature
The UK catalogue describes SL for features up to 8,500 litres and XT for larger applications within its specified range. Select using the actual water volume and treatment programme, not merely the enclosure size. Check the supplied transformer and UK model; a dispenser listing may not include a treatment bottle.
Keep refills and settings together
Use the refill family named for the dispenser. XT add-on controllers and intake assemblies are separate components, not proof that every enclosure doses two treatments as supplied. Leave the controls, tubing and refill access reachable after landscaping.
Current UK dosing-system guide
| Family | UK catalogue water-volume range | Refill family |
|---|---|---|
| SL | Up to 8,500 litres | SL |
| XT | 2,000–125,000 litres | XT |
Choose the exact treatment and setting for the feature. Starter treatment is not assumed included with a standalone dispenser. Legacy pouch systems are listed separately for identification.
Can I use an old pouch or an SL bottle in an XT unit?
Do not interchange formats without the exact manufacturer conversion guidance. The public legacy listings are reference pages where supply is unavailable, not an instruction to substitute any bottle.
