Technology Unique technology that incorporates all dosing functions. Installed on the water supply line, the DOSATRON uses water pressure as the only power source. When activated, it draws in the concentrate, doses it to the desired percentage, and mixes it with the motive water. The resulting solution is then propelled downstream.
Marking/Identification Specifications MARKING Your dosing pump has 3 main marking zones, allowing it to be identified in detail: • A 2-line engraving on the side of the top cover with the exact part number of the device on the first line and the serial number on the second line. fig 2 / 11...

• If the system is located at a higher level than the DOSATRON itself, there is a possible risk of water and concentrate flowing back into the DOSATRON.

Water with a high particle content If the water has a high abrasive particle content which could cause premature wear of the Dosatron, it is essential to install an upstream filter (e. g 130 microns - 120 mesh or finer).

Installation location • The DOSATRON and the dosing additive must be accessible at all times. Their installation must under no circumstances present a pollution or contamination risk. • It is recommended that all water pipes are marked showing that the water contains additives and with the wording: “CAUTION! Non-potable water”...
INSTALLING THE DOSOTRON ATTENTION! THE INSTALLATION SHOULD BE CARRIED OUT WITHOUT TOOLS Remove the protective caps which block the openings in your DOSATRON, before connecting it to the water supply line. fig 5 Make sure you follow the direction of fluid flow as shown by the arrow on the pump body (see the bubble in the figure above).

INSTALLATION TIPS The DOSATRON must be assembled in by-pass as shown below. An in-line assembly is possible but not recommended because it does not enable the dosing pump to be easily isolated for maintenance (necessary to cut off the water supply).
Page 28
To prolong the service life of the DOSATRON, we recommend fitting an upstream filter (e.g 130 microns - 120 mesh, depending on your water quality). This precaution is essential if the water contains impurities or particles, especially when using water from a well or surface water The filter is recommended and required for the warranty to be valid.
CONNECTING THE EXTERNAL INJECTION (IE) KIT Your DOSATRON D9WL3000IE comes with an external injection connection port. Remove the protective caps from the connection ports on both your DOSATRON and your external injection kit. ATTENTION! No tools should be used. fig 17...

Slowly open the fast priming valve located downstream of the DOSATRON. • Let the DOSATRON run until the additive to be dosed rises in the injection assembly (you will be able to see it through the transparent tube), then close the fast priming valve.
To accelerate the priming, set the dosing level to maximum. Once the DOSATRON is primed, drop the pressure to zero and adjust to the required dosing value (please refer to the paragraph on...
ADJUSTING THE DOSING (WITHOUT PRESSURE) ATTENTION! No tools should be used. The dosing adjustment must be carried out with no pressure in the system • Turn off the water supply and allow the pressure to drop to zero. • Unscrew the dosing locking nut. •...
BY-PASS OPTION The upper part of the DOSATRON can be equipped with a by-pass function (optional): • By-pass set to ON, the DOSATRON operates and the additive is drawn up. • By-pass set to OFF, the DOSATRON stops and does not draw up the additive.
FEET OPTIONS If necessary, or if your DOSATRON cannot be fitted to the wall, the D9 DOSATRON range can be installed on feet using the 8EQ001 kit: • Insert each foot in the corresponding holes on the bracket supplied with the dosing pump and the bracket included in the kit •...
