INSTALLATION ADVICE

The Dosatron should be installed in a full hydraulic bypass. 

An in-line installation is possible but not recommended because it does not 

enable the dosing pump to be easily isolated for maintenance (the water 

supply must be turned off).

A by-pass installation enables the system to be supplied with clean mains 

water when the Dosatron is not operating and enables it to be easily 

dismantled.

If your flow rate is above the specified limits for the Dosatron, see 

§ EXCESS FLOW.

To prolong the Dosatron’s service life, it should be fitted with an upstream 

filter (e.g. 200 to 120 mesh - 80 to 130 microns, depending on the quality of 

your water).

This precaution is essential if the water contains impurities or particles, 

especially if the water comes from a well or if it is surface water.

Fig. 9

EXCESS FLOW (for information)

If your Dosatron clicks more than 

44 times in 15 seconds

, (i.e. 22 cycles) 

you are beyond the upper flow-capacity limit.
