Anyone Uses this type of Dosing Pump?

[jun_celis]

I recently got this dosing pump:

Here's my question:

1. Do you always have to reset or restart this pump everytime it reaches its total volume set? Otherwise it will beep, right?

2. How do configure this to continously drip?

I have a similiar one, did you try to download the manual on their website? It has to be a setting. I think you use the dose limit set button the down arrow.

So you can set it to drip continously? Are you using it for freshwater/kalk topoff?

i don't use that exact one but they all pretty much work the same, dont set it to "dose" or it will only dose that amount and shut off, just set volume amount needed mine go's to 300ml an hour, and it will run until container of kalk runs out, then it alarms, to let you know it's time to refill.

I want to be able to drip continously with my Nilsen reactor(on order). Here's the setup I want:

Sump --> Dosing pump --> Nilsen Reactor --> Sump

I want to replace my auto topoff by dosing kalk 24/7. I've done some research and found some are dosing 24/7. I just don't know exactly how their system is setup. Can anyone clarify that?

I have a different type of pump for my kalk addition. It's a peristalic pump that is turned on by a level switch in my sump. The pump takes suction off a 35 gallon trash can in my furnace room. Once a week or so I mix pickling lime a ro water and I'm good.

Newbie here, but I think I can help...

I have the same pump. I couldn't find instructions on the net for that exact pump, but, they are pretty much the same as a Kangaroo 324.

Basically to dose continously - Turn it on. Set your dose limit to 0 (zero), then set your infusion rate using the Inc or Dec buttons. Press Run/Hold - and off it goes.

If the dose limit is set at zero, it will run continously until the drip sensor see no drips, it then assumes that the supply is empty and stops - giving an alarm. If the dose limit is other than zero it will dose that amount then stop, giving an alarm.

Someone else posted this info but I found it useful for my needs:
3785 ml = 1 gallon
300 ml/hr * 24 hr/day = 7200 ml
7200 ml/3785 ml = 1.9 gal/day

If I recal correctly, this unit will do about 275 ml/hr. So (not doing the math) you should be close to 1.5 to 1.75 gal/day dripped 24/7.

good luck

I tried configuring it that way, last night, but my dosing pump does not comes back on when the float valve senser turns it on. I have to push the powe back on manually.

Try lowering the dose amount so that it keeps up with evaporation to about 80% , then set up a different top off system with the switch and a small pump. The dosing will run 24/7 and the make up difference will be done by the floatswitch. That is how I did it.... worked great ...
