2.0  THEORY OF OPERATION 

Mix Tank 

The mix tank is filled to a desired level with RO purified water.  The tank filling process is done 
MANUALLY, and is restricted by a 3 GPM flow control.  As the bicarbonate powder is added, 
the system utilizes the pump discharge pressure, forcing the liquid through an eductor to mix 
and quickly dissolve the powder. 

Disinfection 

The mix tank is designed for quick disinfection. The mix tank utilizes a spray nozzle design to 
completely spray the inside of the tank during the disinfection process.
