Dosing pump - digital; 0-10l/h GEL.DOSAMATIC PPI BIG

Product detailed description

Dosing pumps are essential in water treatment systems where accurate chemical addition is required. This model is commonly used in heating and plumbing systems to maintain water quality by dosing additives such as antiscalants, disinfectants or pH stabilisers. It is suitable for installations in residential, commercial and industrial buildings where water hardness or impurities require continuous or impulse-based dosing. The pump is typically integrated into filtration systems, where it works in conjunction with impulse water meters to ensure proportional chemical delivery based on water usage.

For installers, the pump requires careful placement to avoid airlocks and ensure stable suction. It is often used in systems with closed-loop water circuits, such as boilers, heat exchangers or irrigation systems, where dosing must be synchronised with flow rates. The pump’s compatibility with impulse-based control allows for automated operation, reducing manual intervention and ensuring consistent dosing accuracy.

Brand	IVAR

The pump supports flow rates up to 10 l/h at 10 bar pressure, depending on the model variant. The 230 V power supply ensures stable operation in standard electrical environments. PVDF pump heads provide resistance to aggressive chemicals, making the pump suitable for systems where water contains high mineral content or requires pH adjustment. The operating voltage and material selection are critical for sizing and compatibility with existing electrical and plumbing infrastructure.

Installation and connection

The pump is connected to a standard 230 V socket using a standard plug. The suction and discharge ports are connected to 6x4 mm PVDF pressure hoses, which must be securely fastened to prevent leaks. The pump includes a suction strainer and a 1/2 inch injection nozzle for direct integration into the system. During installation, it is important to ensure that the pump is positioned below the fluid level to prevent dry running. Common mistakes include incorrect hose sizing, improper sealing of connections, or failure to align the pump with the impulse meter for proportional dosing.

Compatibility and accessories

The pump is compatible with impulse water meters from the GEL.IVLI series for proportional dosing. It is also compatible with PVDF pressure hoses of 6x4 mm diameter. The package includes a suction strainer, injection nozzle and prepared hose. For full system integration, ensure that the impulse meter is correctly configured and that the pump is installed in a location free from vibration and temperature fluctuations.

Technical background for designers

The pump operates using a proportional dosing mechanism, where the flow rate is adjusted based on input signals from an impulse meter. The PVDF material of the pump heads ensures resistance to corrosion and chemical degradation, making it suitable for long-term use in aggressive environments. The pump is designed to shut down automatically when the fluid level is low, preventing damage to the internal components. The integration into the system requires a stable power supply and a compatible impulse meter for accurate dosing control. The service life and efficiency are influenced by the quality of the water being treated and the frequency of maintenance checks.

Service and operation

Regular inspection of the pump’s connections and hose integrity is recommended to prevent leaks. The pump should be checked for blockages in the suction line and the condition of the O-rings, which are made of FPM for chemical resistance. No specific service intervals are provided in the brief, but routine checks are advised to ensure optimal performance. The pump should be disconnected from the power supply before any maintenance work is carried out.

Frequently asked questions

Can the pump be used with constant dosing instead of proportional dosing?
Yes, the pump can be switched to constant dosing mode, allowing for a fixed flow rate regardless of water usage.

Is the pump compatible with all types of impulse water meters?
No, it is only compatible with impulse water meters from the GEL.IVLI series for proportional dosing functionality.

What happens if the fluid level drops below the suction line?
The pump will automatically stop to prevent dry running and potential damage to the internal components.

Can the pump be installed in a vertical position?
Yes, but it is important to ensure that the pump is positioned below the fluid level to maintain stable suction and prevent airlocks.
