Abstract of the Disclosure An automatic cycler (50) for performing Continuous Cycling Peritoneal Dialysis (CCPD) and Intermittent Peritoneal Dialysis (IPD) is provided. The apparatus of the present invention is a safe and convenient cycler apparatus for performing peritoneal dialysis in either home or clinical environment. The apparatus provides a stable base (52) by storing dialysate at a relatively low position. Tubing administration set length is reduced to a minimum by the use of indivi- dual, separated valves (36, 38, 40, 42, 44) and by the elimination of redundant, duplicate tube sections. Administration set complexity is reduced by the use of a conventional design dialysate container (46) for heating and weighing of an infusing dialysate dosage. The apparatus (50) allows for gravity feed to a patient with an optional capability of adjusting the pressure head for the gravity feed.
