Ensure that the water flows in the direction of the arrows (water direction) on the appliance.

  • Page 17: Changing The Dosing Scale

    CHANGING THE DOSING SCALE The DOSATRON dosing rate can be adjusted according to two scales: percentages and ratios. These scales are positioned on either side of the dosing part (Fig. 2). Depending on the liquid circulation direction in the hydraulic installation, and on the direction in which the dosing pump is mounted on its bracket, it may be necessary to change the orientation of this scale.

    CONNECTING THE SUCTION HOSE D40MZ3000 MODEL The DOSATRON is delivered with a suction hose (to be adjusted as necessary) enabling its use with a large capacity container. This hose must be fitted with the strainer and ballast. NOTE: The maximum suction height is 4 metres [13 ft].

  • Page 20: Installation Tips

    If your flow is above DOSATRON limits, see the § OVERFLOW. To prolong the service life of the DOSATRON, it is advisable to fit an upstream filter (e.g. 300 microns - 60 mesh depending on your water quality). This precaution is essential if the water contains impurities or particles, especially if the water comes from a well or it is surface water.
  • Page 21 OVERFLOW (as an indication) If your DOSATRON clacks more than 44 times in 15 seconds, (i.e. 22 cycles) you are at the upper flow capacity limit. Beyond this select a DOSATRON with a higher water flow capacity.
