Water Motor
- Do not let the unit freeze.
- Periodically replace chemical hose (hose between pump & injector fitting) and connectors. Chemical buildup will cause the unit not to pump.
- If chemical pump becomes hard to remove from bottom of water motor, clean inside of opening on bottom cap of water motor with toothbrush & white vinegar.
Chemical Pump
- Always use the pump designed for your application, ie. when pumping vinegar, use a vinegar pump.
- Clean pump after use by running 5 gallons of clean water through the pump, or by removing the pump and hand cleaning individual parts.
Injection Control Panel (CP33 Only)
- Over tightening the needle valve will cause damage or failure of the valve.
- Should the needle valve become clogged, remove the valve to allow blockage to move through.
- Should clogging of the injection control panel become a problem, install a hose end screen.
Chemical Tank (C3P Only)
- Keep the chemical tank clean of foreign particles and trash.
- Do not stand the C3P on its end, as this may damage the elbows attached to the Chemical Tank.
Other
- Water is always a factor with the life of any injector. If you know you have problem water, an in-line filter before the injector is a wise investment.
- Keep stock solution bucket clean of foreign particles and trash.
- Keep the suction hose filter off the bottom of the stock solution bucket, insoluble particles may cause clogging.
Chemical Notice:
The Chemilizer injector is a general purpose injector; it was not designed to inject acid. However, some customers use it to inject acids of varying concentrations because our design limits the “damage” caused by aggressive chemicals to the pump, which is inexpensive to repair or replace. Our pump is resistant to chemicals of varying concentrations and a wide range of pH. However, more corrosive chemicals will degrade pump parts faster, necessitating frequent repair or replacement,
adding a negligible amount to the cost of using our injectors with that chemical or group of chemicals.
Pump life is determined by a number of factors that include duty cycle, chemical(s) being injected, and frequency of cleaning,
among others. Therefore each customer’s experience will be different. Normally the check valve, the pump stem and stem o-rings degrade first with the ceramic sleeve taking longer to be affected. Therefore, a pump rebuild kit will be the most frequent maintenance for customers using aggressive chemicals.
