EQ Line Connections
The unit is designed to run with 2 PARTS WATER, 1
PART ACID (2.1 RATIO). Proper ratio should always be
followed as the machines dosing rate is formulated
around the diluted solution. Using neat acid can lead
to overdosing the pH level.
NOTE: When installing acid container in a filter enclosure,
which has no ventilation, it is recommended that
the hole in the cap of the container is cut or drilled
to fit tightly around the tubing, so that fumes
from the acid will not corrode the equipment. It
will be necessary to drill a second hole in the cap
fitted tightly with a length of tubing which should
then be vented outside the filter enclosure. This
procedure is recommended only where the filter
enclosure has no ventilation and is to protect the
equipment.
3.3.3

valves before cutting any lines.
