Precision Controls Diaphram Chlorine Pump 31.6 GPD 150 PSI 230V

Description

Product Overview

The Precision Controls Diaphram Chlorine Pump is engineered for high‑precision chemical dosing in demanding laboratory and industrial environments. Constructed with a robust PVC head, the pump resists corrosion from aggressive chlorine solutions while maintaining consistent performance over long service intervals. Its compact dimensions—8 inches tall, 5 inches wide, and 8 inches deep—allow easy integration into tight spaces, and the 10‑pound weight provides stability without sacrificing portability.

Designed for a maximum flow rate of 31.6 gallons per day (approximately 5 liters per hour), the pump delivers a steady, controllable stream that meets stringent dosing requirements. The 150 psi pressure rating ensures reliable operation even when upstream resistance or downstream back‑pressure increases, making it suitable for a variety of water treatment processes, including disinfection, pH adjustment, and contaminant removal.

Power is supplied via a 230 V AC corded electric source, with the flexibility to operate on 115 V when hard‑wired, giving users adaptability to regional voltage standards. The pump incorporates a precision‑engineered diaphragm that provides smooth, repeatable strokes, while the included ceramic weight stabilizes the diaphragm motion for accurate dosing cycles.

All essential components are supplied in a single package: suction valve, ceramic weight, suction tubing, the pump unit itself, a dual‑function bleed/adjustment valve, discharge tubing, and an injection/back‑check valve. This comprehensive kit eliminates the need for additional purchases, reducing total cost of ownership and simplifying setup.

Customer feedback highlights a 5‑star rating based on performance reliability and ease of installation, reinforcing the pump’s reputation as a trusted solution for precise chemical metering. Its best‑seller rank within the Lab Dosing Pumps sub‑category underscores its popularity among professionals seeking dependable dosing equipment.

Usage

In laboratory settings, the pump excels at delivering exact volumes of chlorine for microbiological assays, water quality testing, and small‑scale pilot studies. Researchers can program dosing intervals to match experimental protocols, ensuring reproducible results across multiple trials. The clear suction and discharge tubing allow visual monitoring of flow, facilitating quick adjustments without interrupting the workflow.

For industrial applications, the pump integrates seamlessly into larger water treatment systems, providing supplemental dosing where centralized dosing stations may be impractical. Its ability to operate continuously at 150 psi makes it ideal for municipal water facilities, swimming pool sanitation, and cooling tower maintenance, where consistent chlorine levels are critical for safety and regulatory compliance.

Installation is straightforward: connect the suction tubing to the source reservoir, attach the discharge tubing to the target line, and adjust the stroke length using the built‑in valve to achieve the desired flow rate. The pump’s low noise level and minimal vibration reduce interference with sensitive equipment, a valuable attribute in both research labs and production plants.

Maintenance is limited to periodic inspection of the diaphragm and ceramic weight, both of which are designed for easy replacement. The PVC head’s resistance to chemical attack extends the service life, while the modular design enables quick part swaps, minimizing downtime during routine servicing.

Why Choose Us

Precision Controls brings decades of expertise in fluid handling technology, and this diaphragm pump reflects that heritage of quality and innovation. Each unit undergoes rigorous testing to verify flow accuracy, pressure tolerance, and material compatibility before leaving the factory, ensuring that customers receive a product that meets or exceeds industry standards.

Our commitment to customer satisfaction includes a responsive technical support team ready to assist with installation, troubleshooting, and performance optimization. We provide detailed documentation, including flow charts and calibration guidelines, to empower users to achieve the highest dosing precision without extensive training.

Unlike many generic pumps, this model incorporates a ceramic weight that stabilizes diaphragm motion, reducing pulsation and enhancing dosing consistency. The inclusion of a dual‑function bleed/adjustment valve gives operators fine‑grained control over stroke length, allowing on‑the‑fly adjustments to accommodate changing process conditions.

Durability is built into every component: the PVC head resists chlorine‑induced degradation, the stainless‑steel valves withstand high pressure, and the sealed electric motor is protected from moisture ingress. This robust construction translates into lower total cost of ownership through reduced replacement frequency and extended service intervals.

We also offer a comprehensive warranty and optional service contracts, giving peace of mind that the pump will continue to perform reliably throughout its operational lifespan.

FAQ

What types of chemicals can this pump handle?

The pump is specifically designed for chlorine dosing but its PVC construction is compatible with a wide range of aqueous chemicals, including bromine, hypochlorite solutions, and pH‑adjusting agents, as long as they are within the recommended concentration limits.

Can the pump be used with a 115 V power source?

Yes. While the standard cord is rated for 230 V, the pump can be hard‑wired to operate on 115 V if your facility requires it. This flexibility allows the pump to be deployed in regions with differing voltage standards without the need for a separate transformer.

How do I adjust the flow rate?

Flow rate is controlled by adjusting the stroke length using the built‑in bleed/adjustment valve. Turn the valve clockwise to shorten the stroke for lower flow, or counter‑clockwise to increase the stroke and raise the flow rate. Calibration charts are provided to correlate valve settings with exact flow values.

What maintenance is required to keep the pump operating optimally?

Routine maintenance includes inspecting the diaphragm for wear, cleaning the suction and discharge valves to prevent clogging, and verifying the integrity of the ceramic weight. Replacement parts are readily available, and the modular design allows quick disassembly for service without specialized tools.

Is there a warranty or service agreement available?

All units come with a standard one‑year limited warranty covering defects in materials and workmanship. Extended service contracts and optional extended warranties can be purchased to provide additional coverage and priority technical support.
