More about Hydro Systems HydroMaster Line Cleaning Unit (LCU) Pump
When installed similar to a water-driven pump or mediator, the Hydro Systems HydroMaster LCU Pump is designed to handle one chemical at a time. The chemical container sits below the HydroMaster LCU unit, and the inlet is attached to the water supply line. The exit line transfers the water and chemical mixture to the area where the water line cleaning needs to occur.
As antibiotic use on the farm decreases, it is more important than ever to keep animals healthy by cleaning and disinfecting the environment in which they live. In order to accomplish this, farms are relying heavily on proper cleaning and disinfection techniques as well as specially designed chemicals to remove biofilm.
HydroMaster LCU pumps from Hydro Systems are designed to allow you to easily inject water line cleaning and sanitizing solutions into your water lines without preparing a stock solution. The pump is installed similar to a water-driven pump or medicator.
Features
- Can be mounted on a wall or installed on top of a chemical container
- Can be used with any sized container
- No electricity required – water access only
- Compact & Lightweight, provides installation versatility & is easily stored when not in use
- Long-lasting, made of high quality, chemically resistant materials
- Various screw-in dilution tips can be used with a wide range of chemicals at different dilution rates
- Ball valve allows the unit to be turned off and on as needed & helps the user control the chemical dilution
General Specifications
- Dilution Rates: Varies based on the tips used. Please refer to Dilution Chart
- Water Flow Rate to Activate Chemical: 2-4 GPM. Actual flow rate of the pump depends on water inlet pressure
- Inlet Water Pressure Range: 30-50 PSI
- Hydro Part #: HYD210
Operating Notes
- The exit line must be routed above the unit in the application or else premature vanquishing of the chemical from the chemical container may occur.
- If the flow rate is below 2 GPM, the chemical dilution might be richer than what you expect. There will not be enough vacuum to pull the chemical resulting in an inoperable unit.
