  • Page 7: Installation

    INSTALLATION 1. Unpack Polymaster from shipping container. Inspect system for any shipping damage and report it to the freight company and to Neptune immediately. Save the shipping container. Identify all the parts within the container. As a minimum, there should be a strainer for the water line, a strainer for the polymer line and a priming kit with a hand pump.
  • Page 8: Caution

    CAUTION In addition to this instruction, there is a project specific mechanical drawings, a project specific electrical drawing and a metering pump instruction manual specific for the pump furnished with this unit. Refer to the metering pump instruction manual for pump start-up information. Check nameplate for power requirements.
  • Page 9: Theory Of Operation

    THEORY OF OPERATION The Neptune Polymaster polymer dilution system has three basic subsystems which are the water and Polymer feed/metering subsystem, the Gatlin distribution head subsystem and the mixing/activation subsystem. WATER & POLYMER FEED/METERING SUBSYSTEM The dilution water is connected to the bulkhead and labeled “Water/Inlet” at the back of the unit. Dilution water flows through a strainer (to be located outside of the unit), a NEMA 4X solenoid valve, a flow metering valve, with visual flowmeter, and then into pressure switch assembly.

    OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS Please refer to system specific mechanical and electrical drawings and schematics for full information about the particular unit purchased for this site. CONTROL PANEL 1. The power switch supplies power to the entire system when turned to “LOCAL” red run light will be lighted.
  • Page 12 DILUTION WATER FLOW CONTROL 1. The flowmeter indicates the dilution water flow rate. The water flowing through the flowmeter does not contain any polymer. 2. The flowmeter control knob is used for adjusting the dilution water flow rate. POLYMER FLOW CONTROL 1.
  • Page 13: Long Term Storage Instructions

    LONG TERM STORAGE INSTRUCTIONS If the system will not be operating for an extended period of time, all the polymer should be purged from the system. Polymer that is left in the pump head for three or more days may start to harden. If the Polymaster is to be shut down for more than three (3) days, flush carefully per the following procedure.
  • Page 14: Start Up

    START-UP 1. Apply power to the unit by turning the switch at the top right of the unit to “LOCAL”. The red “ON” light should come on. Since water has not yet been turned on, expect the amber “FAULT” light to illuminate immediately.

  • Page 16: Calibration

    CALIBRATION 1. Calibration of the polymer pump is recommended once the system is operational. Differences in the specific gravity and viscosity of polymers, as well as the specific piping arrangement used, require calibration of the pump to determine the precise polymer feed rate at a particular pump setting. A chart is developed to show the flow rates at various pump settings specific to the polymer and the installation site.
  • Page 17: Calibration Graph

    CALIBRATION GRAPH For your convenience, the vertical scales on this graph are labeled for English Units (gallons per hour) or Metric Units (milliliters per minute). You cannot use both on the same graph since the scales are not related. The left axis allows a finer plot on low volume pumps. The right axis allows plotting curves for higher flow rate pumps.

    INSTRUCTIONS FOR OPERATION OF POST-DILUTION UNIT (Applies to 2 stage dilution furnished on models PAD/PMD-3000 and PAD/PMD-3000R only) The models PAD/PMD-3000 include two separate water flow indicators with separate water flow adjustment knobs. The primary dilution flow meter is located on the front face for the Polymaster. The second dilution or post dilution flow indicator is inside the unit with the rate setting valve at the top of the flow meter.

  • Page 20: Maintenance

    MAINTENANCE 1. Inspect for polymer or water leaks in the system components. A. If joint leakage is observed, tighten carefully. Most joints are plastic (i.e. PVC, Delrin, acrylic) and over-tightening will lead to breakage. B. If component leakage is observed, replace the defective part. Contact Neptune for part replacement. 2.
