bulk density. Adding external proportioning valve reduces throughput.
** Recommended throughput/hr based on free flowing virgin pellets through 15’ of flex hose. Exceeding recommended
throughputs may result in shortened brush and filter life however, increased throughputs are possible depending on resin
and equivalent feet calculation. Generally, a central conveying system should be used for higher throughputs.
Maximum conveying distance in addition to 15’ flex hose, can include 30’ of horizontal tubing and 1 elbow. Additional
vertical travel, bends or flex hose will reduce recommended throughput.
