Chemical Feeder Pump Hints:

                Find the main water supply line. If you're not sure how to do that Click Here.

Check out our Chem Feed Diagram here if you have any questions on parts.

1.       Take the injector with you to hardware supply to get the “T” you need to install the injector into your water line. The injector part of the "T" is 1/2". The tip of the injector is made extra long so that it will reach down to the pipe if you need to add reducers to get down to 1/2". It is ok to cut the injector tip to fit if it is too long. It is a good idea to cut the end tip of the injection fitting so it does not stick out into your water line past the depth of the "T" you installed. It is okay if it is less than the depth of the "T".

 2.    Do NOT loop the hoses. You will need to cut or drill two holes into the top of the solution tank, one hole for the degasser tube and one hole for the suction line. If you are mounting the pump directly to the solution tank you will need to make the hole for the suction line big enough to fit the suction valve fitting into. You can then mount the pump onto the solution tank using four self threading screws.

3.    Fill the tube going to the injector with liquid before you start priming.

4.    We have had NO issues when residential customers did NOT install an anti-siphoning valve as instructed in the chemical-feeder instruction manual.

5.    We have had NO issues when the customer did NOT install the injector UNDER the horizontal incoming water line. Sometimes those lines are too low to the floor to get under them.

6.    We normally install the injector BEFORE the pressure tank. If you are installing BEFORE the pressure tank you DO NOT need an extra external flow switch, you just hook it up to the pressure switch on your pressure tank. If the injector is to be installed AFTER the pressure tank then you MUST install a flow switch in the line PAST the pressure tank.

7.    If you have any damaged parts please reply to the confirmation e-mail that was sent you to report the problem. Please be specific what part was damaged. Otherwise simply e-mail the main website address where you made your purchase.

8.    DO NOT put the suction tube so far down into the tank that the basket at the end of the tube lays on the bottom. It should be suspended at least an inch or more from the bottom of the tank.

Chemical Feeder Pump MIXTURES (Chlorine and soda ash) for pH and disinfection:

For disinfection (E-coli/Coliform):

Add 1 gallon of bleach to 15 gallons of water and test. Check with local officials to see their recommended chlorine levels to test for.

For Sulfur removal:

Add 15 gallons of water to mixing tank. Add 1 cup of household Clorox bleach to mixing tank. Run water for a couple of minutes than see if smell is gone. If not simply repeat the process adding 1 cup of bleach each time until smell is gone. There will come a time when the sulfur and chlorine neutralize each other so you don’t have a reading for either one.

For iron bacteria or iron bacteria and sulfur:

Add 15 gallons of water and 1/3 gallon of Clorox household bleach to mixing tank.

Chemical feeder pH mixtures

We suggest using 14 gallons of water to 1 pound of soda ash. Keep adding soda ash until proper pH is achieved. (it's a good idea to write on side of tank the date and what the final mixture was to reach desired pH.) Always use the same container when adding soda ash.

If proper pH can’t be reached, try using caustic soda (stronger, has better chance of working). Try finding it at local feed & grain store or a simple internet search should help.

If pH still can’t be reached or starting pH is 5.5, you should use a single media acid neutralizer tank filled with calcite. You may want to upsize tank, in case pH still can’t reach proper level.

If pH is 4.5 or higher, a sequence of two backwashing acid neutralizers with different medias consisting of calcite & corosex is virtually certain to take care of pH issues under normal circumstances. In some cases while, we don't recommend it, customers have mixed media in one tank with some success.

If you have no pressure tank or in case you have to install after pressure tank, a flow switch must be ordered. The flow switch has a sensor that goes into a line that will monitor water flow. This will tell the pump when to inject solution.
