PRECAUTIONS (cont...)
1 - GENERAL REMARKS (cont...)
- Before applying any aggressive
chemicals, please consult your
distributor to confirm compatibility
with the dosing pump.
- All assembly should be done
without tools, hand tighten only.
2 - WATER WITH HIGH PARTICLE
CONTENT
- A (ex.: 50 mesh - 300 microns
depending on your water quality)
water filter must be installed
upstream
from
the
Dosatron
(see accessories), if a filter is not
installed abrasive substances will
cause the Dosatron to deteriorate
prematurely.
3 - WATER-HAMMER / EXCESSIVE
FLOW
- For installations subject to water
hammer a protection device such
as a check valve or union ball check
must be fitted (pressure/flow
control system).
- For automatic installations, slow
opening and closing solenoid valves
are preferable.
- In an installation where a
Dosatron serves several sectors,
the closing of one sector and the
opening of another sector must be
done at the same time (simultaneous
operation of the solenoid valves).

a risk of pollution or contamination.

the injected solution i.e. Not For

5 - MAINTENANCE
- Rinse the injection areas after
using the Dosatron. To do this, insert
suction tube into a container of
