Getting Started with Dosatron Installation

Dosatron dosing pumps are designed to be installed directly into a water line, using water flow alone to operate the dosing mechanism. With the correct setup, they provide accurate and reliable injection for a wide range of applications including fertigation, livestock medication, washdown, greenhouse irrigation, water treatment, and industrial dosing.

While installation requirements may vary depending on the application and system layout, the basic principles remain the same. Correct positioning, water flow direction, filtration, and accessibility are all important to ensure reliable operation and long-term performance.

 Important Things to Consider

  • The pump must operate within its specified flow and pressure range
  • Chemical compatibility should be confirmed before installation
  • The unit should be installed where it is protected from damage, impact, or unsuitable environmental conditions
  • Allow enough room for servicing, adjustment, and routine maintenance
  • Use the correct accessories and fittings for your specific application
  • Always follow manufacturer recommendations for setup and operation

When to Ask for Advice

Many Dosatron pumps can be installed by farmers, growers, technicians, and maintenance staff with basic plumbing knowledge. However, for more complex systems or specialised applications, it may be beneficial to seek advice before installation to ensure the pump is selected and configured correctly.

This is especially important for larger systems, chemical-sensitive applications, or setups where flow rate, pressure, and dosing requirements need to be carefully matched.
