Warning,
Please read precautions thoroughly before operation. Must meet all applicable local codes and regulations.
Remove Red Caps Prior to Installation
Your injector is 100% factory tested before delivery and
may contain a small amount of water. The three red
plastic caps are fitted after testing to ensure cleanliness
of the injector.
Before Applying Aggressive Chemicals
Please consult your distributor, chemical manufacturer
or contact Hydro Systems's customer service to confirm
compatibility with your injector. Always wear proper safety
protection as recommended by chemical supplier.
Label all Fluid Lines, Valves and Connections
If the solution that is being injected is not suitable for
drinking, all fluid lines should be labeled:
Warning not for human consumption!
Monitor Outlet Flow
It is the user's responsibility to monitor the output of
chemical injected.
A Filter is Recommended and Required
Install a filter of 140 mesh (104 micron) or finer
depending on your fluid quality to prolong the working
life of the injector and for the warranty to be valid. A
filter is imperative since most fluid contains impurities or
particles, especially if the fluid source comes from a well,
pond or lake.
Following the procedures, will increase the life of your injector.
For A Long Service Life
Start with clean fluid by using an inline filter to reduce
impurities. Keep the solution container covered and
clean. Keep the suction tube filter 2" (5 cm) from
the bottom of the container. Perform maintenance
procedures as recommended (see Maintenance page 10).
Soluble Powder Use
Ensure the chemical is completely dissolved before
starting the injector. If necessary, dissolve the chemical
in hot water and allow to cool before using. Failure to
thoroughly dissolve the chemical will cause premature
wear to the dosage piston and the inner cylinder.
Safety Precautions
Warranty Compliance
General Tips
Please read this instruction manual thoroughly.
Avoid a Potentially Hazardous Chemical
Accident
Select a safe location. Chemical container should be
kept away from children and/or high usage areas and
the location must also not be susceptible to freezing
temperatures.
Avoid Solution Contamination
Use only clean FILTERED fluid. Do not allow contaminants
to enter the solution container. They can be pumped into
the fluid line and may cause the spread of disease. Dirt,
debris and other contaminants in the solution container
may cause excessive wear to the unit.
Fluid Temperature
Min: 34°F (1°C) Max: 100°F (38°C)
Maximum Fluid Pressure
0.3%, 2.5% - 100 psi (6,9 bar)
5% - 80 psi (5,5 bar)
5% model with remote injection kit has maximum
operating pressure of 60 psi (4 bar).
Install a pressure regulator and/or pressure relief valve to
ensure operating pressure does not exceed the maximum
specification.
Before Removing An Injector From The System
Release fluid pressure. While the system is in operation,
turn off the incoming fluid valve. Leave the out going
valve open this will relieve the pressure at the injector
and all parts of the system after the injector. Injector is
now safe to remove.
Keep From Extreme Temperature
Protect the injector from freezing temperatures or
excessive heat.
Rinse Injector After Each Use
Additive allowed to remain in injector can dry out, foul
or damage the lower end at the next start-up (see
Maintenance page 10).
Injector Not in Use for an Extended Period
If the injector has not been stored properly deposits may
have dried onto the motor (see Maintenance page 10).
Before operation, soak entire unit into room temperature
water approx. 72°F (22°C) for an eight hour period.
