Dosatron Water Powered Dosing Pumps

Dosatron dosing pumps are water-powered proportioning pumps that use the flow of water through the system to inject a concentrated liquid additive at a controlled ratio.

Water flowing through the pump drives an internal piston. The piston draws concentrated product from the dosing container and injects it into the water stream at a set proportional rate.

No. Dosatron pumps are powered by the water flow itself, so they do not require electricity or compressed air to operate.

They are commonly used for fertigation, irrigation, water treatment, animal drinking-water systems, chemical dosing and other applications requiring proportional injection.

Dosatron pumps can handle many liquid fertilisers, treatment products and chemicals, provided the product is compatible with the pump's wetted materials and the specific model.

Yes. They are widely used for injecting liquid fertilisers into irrigation systems and are particularly useful where fertiliser concentration needs to remain proportional to water flow.

The dosing ratio is normally adjusted using the pump's integrated proportional setting. The selected setting determines the quantity of concentrated product injected relative to the volume of water passing through the pump.

Proportional dosing means the amount of chemical injected automatically changes with the water flow, helping maintain a consistent chemical concentration even when the water flow rate varies.

Yes. Their water-powered proportional operation allows the dosing rate to follow changes in water flow within the operating range of the particular model.

The required pressure depends on the Dosatron model. Each pump has a specified minimum and maximum operating pressure that should be maintained for correct operation.

Flow ranges vary significantly between Dosatron models. The correct model should be selected according to the minimum and maximum water flow required by the application.

Yes. This is one of their main advantages. The hydraulic energy from the water supply powers the dosing mechanism.

Yes. They are particularly suitable for irrigation and fertigation because they can proportionally inject fertiliser or treatment products according to the irrigation water flow.

Yes. Suitable Dosatron models can be used to proportionally inject approved treatments, supplements or other liquid products into livestock drinking-water systems.

Yes, provided the product concentration and chemical compatibility are suitable for the selected pump and application. The manufacturer's recommended limits should always be followed.

They offer proportional dosing without electricity, straightforward installation, automatic dosing based on water flow and reliable operation in applications where electrical power may not be convenient.

Consider the required water flow, operating pressure, desired dosing ratio, chemical compatibility, application and required injection capacity before selecting a model.

The dosing setting should be checked and verified during installation and periodically during operation to ensure the required injection rate is being maintained.

Routine maintenance can include inspecting and cleaning filters, checking seals and valves, flushing the pump and replacing wear components when required. Maintenance requirements vary by model and application.

Dosatron pumps are suitable for applications including irrigation, fertigation, water treatment, agriculture, livestock water treatment and chemical injection where proportional, water-powered dosing is required.
