preportional dispenser DOSAPHOS - 3/4" GEL.DOSAPHOS 600

Product detailed description

Proportional dispensers like the IVAR DOSAPHOS are commonly used in residential and commercial water treatment systems to manage water hardness and prevent scale buildup. These systems are typically installed in central heating, domestic hot water, and industrial water circuits where consistent water quality is essential. Installers working on such systems must ensure that the dispenser is correctly sized and integrated with the existing plumbing to maintain system efficiency and longevity.

Proper installation and configuration are critical for the dispenser to function effectively. The dispenser must be positioned in a location that allows for easy access during maintenance and refilling. It should also be installed in a way that minimizes exposure to extreme temperatures and mechanical stress. The system must be designed to accommodate the dispenser’s flow rate and pressure requirements to ensure optimal performance.

The operating temperature of +5 °C is a key factor in determining the suitability of the dispenser for cold or warm water applications. The PN 6 pressure rating indicates the maximum allowable pressure for the system, which is essential for selecting compatible components and ensuring system integrity. The nickel-plated brass construction provides resistance to corrosion and wear, making it suitable for long-term use in water treatment systems.

Installation and connection

The IVAR DOSAPHOS 3/4 inch dispenser is connected using standard 3/4 inch fittings. Installers should verify that the system pressure does not exceed PN 6 and that the water temperature remains within the specified range. A common mistake during installation is failing to secure the dispenser properly, which can lead to leaks or misalignment. It is also important to ensure that the dispenser is installed in a straight section of pipe to avoid turbulence and uneven flow distribution.

Compatibility and accessories

The dispenser is compatible with water treatment systems that require a proportional dosage of gel-based treatment media. It is typically used in conjunction with a gel cartridge, which must be ordered separately. The system should also include a pressure regulator and a flow meter to ensure accurate dosing and system performance. Installers should check for compatibility with existing plumbing components and ensure that all connections are properly sealed.

Technical background for designers

The IVAR DOSAPHOS operates by proportionally dispensing a gel-based treatment media into the water stream based on flow rate. The nickel-plated brass construction provides durability and resistance to corrosion, making it suitable for use in both cold and warm water systems. The dispenser is designed to integrate seamlessly into existing water treatment systems and requires minimal maintenance. The efficiency of the system is influenced by factors such as water hardness, flow rate, and the concentration of the treatment media.

Service and operation

The dispenser requires periodic refilling with the gel-based treatment media. The frequency of refilling depends on the system’s flow rate and the hardness of the water. Installers should check the dispenser for signs of wear or blockage and ensure that the gel cartridge is properly seated. It is also important to verify that the system pressure and temperature remain within the specified limits to prevent damage to the dispenser or the treatment media.

Frequently asked questions

Can the IVAR DOSAPHOS be used with water that has a hardness higher than 2.0 mmol/l?
No, the dispenser is not suitable for water with a hardness higher than 2.0 mmol/l. Exceeding this limit can reduce the effectiveness of the treatment and increase the risk of scale formation.

Is the dispenser suitable for use in cold water systems?
Yes, the dispenser is suitable for use in cold water systems as long as the water temperature does not drop below +5 °C. The dispenser is designed to operate within a temperature range of +5 °C to +40 °C.

What is the maximum flow rate for the dispenser?
The maximum flow rate for the IVAR DOSAPHOS is 5.8 m³/hr. Exceeding this limit can affect the accuracy of the dosage and reduce the effectiveness of the treatment.

How often should the gel cartridge be replaced?
The frequency of replacement depends on the system’s flow rate and the hardness of the water. As a general guideline, one kg of gel is sufficient for approximately 100 to 120 m³ of water.
