Proportioning and Dispensing Systems

Using flexible programming capability, the 1000 Series AutoDose Pumps accurately dose drains, cooling towers, boilers, pools, lubrication systems or other areas at the appropriate times.  An easily programmed timer, which is housed in a moisture/vapor resistant enclosure, turns the pump on and off as required to ensure regular dosing of treatment chemicals.

It's widely accepted that it is easier to maintain drains than to unstop clogged ones.  But maintenance of drains and other systems requires consistent application of maintenance chemicals.  This is the job the AutoDose line of dispensers were designed for.  Look at what the AutoDose dispensers have to offer :

• Molded cabinet is durable and corrosion resistant, even in demanding applications.

• The timer is visible when the cabinet is locked.  It is secured from unauthorized reprogramming and insulated from moisture and vapors, yet the program can be monitored.

• During normal operation, the timer runs on the same power source as the pump, simplifying system maintenance (only one set of batteries to replace).

• Internal backup battery in timer maintains program even when main power source is disconnected or inoperative.

• Separate enclosure/access door for the timer : the timer isn't exposed to moisture or vapors when the system cabinet door is opened.

• Exterior pump location allows service without unlocking system cabinet.

Maximum flexibility for customized dosing

Hydro's AutoDose pump systems offer great flexibility.  Here's what they offer in terms of customization of dispensing.

• Choice of days, time (AM/PM) and dose duration (in one minute increments)
• Up to 8 dosing periods per 24 hours
• Capability to dose every day, or just on specific days
• Easy placement (due to size and battery power)
• Tube options (Norprene and Viton) for compatibility with a wide variety of products.  But maybe the most important benefit gained by using the AutoDose pumps is that they don't forget to add a dose!  This can greatly enhance the performance of the treatment product.

Battery or AC powered operation to suit specific needs

The AutoDose pumps run on two 6-volt lantern batteries, eight D-size batteries or on AC power (alkaline batteries suggested).  Environmental conditions of the application can be taken into consideration when choosing the power supply.

In some areas, particularly near drains where local safety codes may forbid electrical outlets, battery power can be the only answer.  No outlet is required at the treatment site, which adds safety in these wet areas.  Battery power also makes installation easier, since location of the system doesn't depend on outlet availability.  Battery power ensures dosing at the proper time, even during or after power outages, enhancing the effectiveness of treatment chemicals which require regular dosing at specified intervals.

Batteries in AutoDose systems will power Hydro's patented pump for up to 40 running hours when alkaline batteries are used.  This provides months of service for many treatment needs.  The HydroPump is designed specifically to extend battery life, reducing the frequency of batter replacement.  These design advancements also increase tube and motor life.

Where battery replacement may be difficult, the AC powered versions offer the same flexible programmability and reliable dosing without requiring batteries.
