Chlorine Tablet Dosing Equipment for Swimming Pool Cleaning

The pool chlorine floater will add the chlorine tablets to the circulating water treatment distribution line of the swimming pool according to the calculated dosage, and dilute the chlorine tablets through the distribution pipe, and evenly add to the swimming pool. In order to ensure the good water quality of the swimming pool, in the swimming pool water treatment process and daily maintenance, it  is necessary to give the corresponding chlorine tablets to the swimming pool according to different specific conditions. The dosing of chlorine tablets is mainly done by using special chlorine tablet dosing equipment. This paper mainly introduces two kinds of chlorine tablets dosing equipment for swimming pool cleaning.

A floating chlorine dispenser

Chemical feeder

Working principle

The main body of the applicator is the dissolving bucket, which has a screw cap inside, which can be manually opened and filled with chlorine tablets. The chlorine tablets are slowly dissolved and diluted through the circulating water in the dissolving bucket, and enter the distribution pipe with the circulating water. Remember to turn off the applicator switch before opening the lid.

Installation position

It is usually installed on the distribution pipe line of the circulating water treatment system of the swimming pool to ensure that the pharmaceutical liquid can be evenly delivered to the swimming pool through the distribution pipe road, to avoid the excessive concentration of the local pharmaceutical liquid to cause harm to swimmers, and to greatly save the use of chlorine tablets. It is best to install valves before and after installation to facilitate maintenance and operation.

Regulation mode

The dosing device is generally equipped with a manual control knob that needs to be manually adjusted to adjust the amount of liquid flowing into the dosing line in the barrel. When automatic control of dosing is required, if the system is equipped with a water quality monitor, an electric on-off valve should be installed at the inlet end of the circulating water of the dosing device to cooperate with the water quality monitor to achieve automatic dosing of chlorine tablets.

Scope of application

The chlorine tablets used in the dosing machine are generally solid pills or tablets, most of which are solid disinfection chlorine tablets, mainly suitable for small and medium-sized swimming pools with low requirements for chlorine tablet control. Such as jacuzzi, private pool, water feature pool and small public swimming pool.

Dosing pump

Dosing dosing pumps are mainly used to add liquid chlorine tablets, flocculants, disinfectants or chemicals for PH regulation to the circulation system lines.

Working principle

Dosing metering pumps are usually referred to as dosing pumps, most of which are positive displacement pumps. Such as gear pumps, diaphragm pumps, etc., in the swimming pool equipment industry, the precise measurement needs of the drug administration and the fluctuation amplitude of the flow pulse are generally not high, and diaphragm metering pumps are used. The diaphragm metering pump is driven by motor drive and electromagnetic drive, etc. The diaphragm metering pump is usually composed of a suction check valve, an outlet check valve, a diaphragm and a driving device.

The diaphragm metering pump mainly uses the driving mechanism to pull the opening and closing of the diaphragm to complete the suction and extrusion process of the liquid medicine.

  • During operation, the driving device pulls the diaphragm apart, creating negative pressure in the diaphragm cavity. The liquid chlorine tablet is drawn into the diaphragm through the suction mouth, because the check valve at the discharge mouth prevents the fluid from entering the diaphragm chamber.
  • Then, the driving device squeezes the diaphragm. Because the suction mouth is also a one-way valve, the liquid cannot flow back from the suction mouth at this time, and the liquid in the diaphragm cavity can only be pressed out from the outlet. In such a cycle, the liquid medicine is pressurized and output by the diaphragm metering pump.
  • The pressure of the pool water distribution line is usually between 1.0-1.5Bar, and the working pressure of the dosing pump is higher than the pressure of the line it bets. The liquid pressure at the outlet of the diaphragm metering pump can generally reach 24kg/cm², and the resistance of the dosing pipeline can not affect its flow.

Installation position

  • The injection pump is also to inject chlorine tablets on the distribution pipe of the circulating water treatment system of the swimming pool (flocculants and disinfectants may sometimes be added before filtration),
  • The special injection connector is installed on the circulating water pipe, and the injection connector is provided with a check valve, so that the pipeline will not leak when the injection system is repaired.
  • The dosing connector and the dosing pump are connected by a dosing hose.
  • The drug pump can be installed on a wall or shelf about 1.5 meters above the ground for easy operation, and the drug barrel is placed nearby below the drug pump.
  • Because the barrel is not easy to seal, some of the liquid volatilize irritating or corrosive gases, it is best to set up an independent dosing room separated from other equipment in the equipment room, and set up forced ventilation equipment in the dosing room.

Regulation mode

The diaphragm pump can generally manually adjust the feeding flow, the crank stroke of the diaphragm pump or the frequency of the electromagnetic drive can be adjusted, which drives the opening and closing degree of the diaphragm or the opening and closing frequency change, so as to achieve the measurement of the liquid medicine. When automatic control of dosing is required, such as when the system is equipped with a water quality monitor to automatically supply power to the pool chlorine floater, the power cord of the dosing pump can be connected to the corresponding power output terminal of the water quality monitor; When there is a more advanced water quality monitoring instrument that can output 4-20mA analog control signals, it is necessary to configure a dosing pump that can receive 4-20mA analog control signals accordingly, such a dosing pump can automatically adjust the dosing flow of the dosing pump according to the size of the received analog signal. However, the cost of such a drug pump and water quality monitoring instrument is higher.

Scope of application

The dosing pump can only add liquid chlorine tablets, such as chlorine tablets for solid or powder also need to be prepared in advance into the required concentration of the solution. It is mainly suitable for large and medium-sized pools, and it is best to set up an independent medication room.
