Tefen MixRite Water Powered Dosing Pumps

A MixRite dosing pump is a water-powered proportional dosing pump that injects a set amount of chemical, fertiliser, medication, supplement or treatment solution directly into a water line. It uses the flow of water to operate, meaning no electricity is required for standard hydraulic models.

MixRite pumps are installed inline with the water supply. As water passes through the pump, it drives the internal motor mechanism, which draws concentrated solution from a chemical tank and mixes it into the water at a set ratio.

No, standard MixRite hydraulic dosing pumps are powered by water flow and pressure. This makes them suitable for remote agricultural, livestock, greenhouse and irrigation systems where power may not be available.

MixRite pumps are commonly used for fertigation, livestock medication, vitamin and mineral dosing, water treatment, cleaning chemicals, sanitation, disinfection and industrial dosing applications. Tefen lists MixRite applications across irrigation, gardening, animal health, industrial and water treatment sectors.

Yes. MixRite pumps are proportional dosing pumps, meaning the injection rate is linked to the water flow. As flow increases or decreases, the amount of injected solution adjusts proportionally to maintain the selected dosing ratio.

The dosing ratio is adjusted manually by rotating the adjustment sleeve to the required proportion. This allows the user to increase or decrease the chemical injection rate depending on the application.

MixRite pumps are available in different models with different dosing ranges, such as low-dose and higher-dose options. The correct model depends on your required injection percentage, water flow rate, chemical type and application.

Yes. MixRite pumps are widely used for fertigation, allowing fertiliser or nutrient solution to be injected directly into irrigation water. This helps deliver nutrients evenly through irrigation systems such as drip, sprinkler, greenhouse and nursery systems.

Yes. MixRite pumps are commonly used in livestock and animal health systems to dose vitamins, minerals, medications, supplements and treatments into drinking water. Tefen specifically notes livestock use for vitamins, medication and supplements.

Yes, MixRite pumps can dose many liquid chemicals, but compatibility depends on the chemical being used, concentration, seal material and pump model. Always check chemical compatibility before installation, especially with acids, alkaline products, chlorine, peroxide or aggressive chemicals.

MixRite pumps are water-powered and dose proportionally to flow, while electric dosing pumps use electricity and usually dose based on time, pulse, sensor control or manual settings. MixRite is often preferred where simple inline proportional dosing is required without electrical control.

MixRite pumps are designed to maintain the selected additive-to-water ratio across normal operating conditions. Tefen describes proportional dosing pumps as providing automatic and consistent additive/water ratios regardless of water pressure, within the pump’s operating range.

Each MixRite model has its own minimum and maximum flow range. The pump should be selected so your system’s normal flow rate sits within the rated operating range of the model.

Yes. MixRite pumps can be installed on irrigation mainlines, bypass assemblies or dedicated dosing lines depending on the system design. For irrigation and fertigation, correct sizing, filtration and flow range are important.

Yes, a suitable filter is strongly recommended before the pump to protect the internal mechanism from grit, sand, scale and debris. Clean water helps improve dosing consistency and extends service life.

Yes. MixRite pumps are serviceable, and spare parts such as seals, pistons, springs, suction tubes and repair kits may be available depending on the model. Regular maintenance helps keep the pump operating accurately and reliably.

Maintenance depends on water quality, chemical type, operating hours and application. As a general rule, the pump should be inspected regularly, flushed with clean water when required, and serviced if dosing becomes inconsistent or performance drops.

To choose the right MixRite pump, confirm your water flow rate, operating pressure, required dosing percentage, chemical type, pipe size and application. These details determine which model, seal type and dosing range will suit your system.

AgriDosing supplies MixRite pumps for agricultural, irrigation, livestock, water treatment and industrial dosing applications. We can help match the correct model to your flow rate, dosing ratio, chemical type and installation setup so you get the right pump the first time.
