1. Introduction
This manual covers all facets of operation of the Advantage Controls Bypass Feeder, including, installation, plumbing connections, optional features and start-up. Safety, maintenance, repair, warranty and factory information are also provided. Please read this manual completely before proceeding. Observe safety protocols and heed all warnings and precautions.
Model Numbering
Your Advantage Bypass Feeder may be supplied with one or more of the options
described in this manual. To determine what features apply to your feeder,
check the model number label located on the feeder.
2. Safety Considerations
A. Operation
Do not install or operate the bypass feeder without reading the manual and
safety protocols and warnings included. Bypass feeders are designed to operate
under pressure not to exceed 200 PSI. Do not perform any maintenance or repair
without first isolating the feeder from the plumbing, releasing water pressure
and draining the fluid from feeder.
B. Safety and Preparation
Always wear the proper protective clothing and gear when working around
chemicals and chemical metering pumps. Safety glasses, gloves, and aprons are
critical in preventing accidental exposure to dangerous chemicals. Liquids
under pressure can present a special hazard when a line or seal is punctured
resulting in the spraying of chemical many yards away. If a chemical spill
occurs, consult the Material Safety Data Sheet (MSDS) for specific
instructions regarding the chemical being used.
3. Installation
Several factors must be considered when installing your by-pass feeder:
A. Flow and Pressure Differential
A bypass feeder requires a proper flow rate and pressure differential. The
best way to achieve this to plumb the bypass line across the recirculation
pump, or to install a throttling valve in the main line. A flow control valve
is recommended to control and maintain the correct flow rate.
B. Flowrate
Advantage Control’s bypass feeders are designed for a maximum flowrate of 2
GPM for 2 gallon feeders and 5 GPM for 5 and 12 gallon feeders.
C. Pressure Differential
The pressure differential should not exceed 10 PSI on non-filter filter feeder
models. Feeders with either filter option should not exceed a 5 PSI
differential.
D. Temperature
All bypass feeders are rated to a maximum temperature of 200°F.
E. Pressure
All bypass feeders are rated to a maximum pressure of 200 PSI.
