Product Information

Full details

The Chempot 3.5 Litre Dosing Pot is an essential tool for facility managers and HVAC engineers tasked with maintaining water-based systems like boilers and cooling towers. By allowing for the controlled introduction of inhibitors into a closed-loop system, it protects expensive infrastructure from the detrimental effects of corrosion, scaling, and biological growth. While it offers precise chemical management, users should note that the installation process requires proper plumbing knowledge and adherence to system pressure ratings to ensure safe operation.

FAQs

Is this dosing pot suitable for high-pressure systems?

The Chempot is designed for standard industrial and commercial HVAC systems, but you must always verify that your specific system pressure does not exceed the manufacturer's rated specifications.

Can I use any type of water treatment chemical?

Most standard inhibitors for heating and cooling systems are compatible, but check the chemical manufacturer's data sheet to ensure there are no specific material incompatibilities.

How often should I add chemicals?

Dosing frequency depends on your system's water analysis; it is recommended to test your water chemistry regularly to determine when an inhibitor top-up is required.

What maintenance does the unit require?

Periodically inspect for leaks, ensure valves operate smoothly, and check that the cap seal is intact during every dosing session.

Where should the dosing pot be mounted?

It should be mounted in an accessible location, typically on a bypass loop on the main return pipe, to allow for easy operation and maintenance.

Troubleshooting

Chemicals not entering the system

Ensure that both isolation valves are fully open and that there is sufficient pressure differential across the dosing bypass.

Leaking around the fill cap

Tighten the cap manually or inspect the gasket for cracks; replace the gasket if it has become brittle or compressed.

Valves are stiff to operate

Apply a suitable lubricant to the valve stems or, if the internal seals have failed due to mineral buildup, consider replacing the valve assembly.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects equipment from costly scaling and corrosion damage
  • Compact 3.5-litre footprint saves space in plant rooms
  • Ensures safe chemical handling compared to manual pouring
  • Maintains optimal water chemistry for system efficiency

Cons

  • Requires professional plumbing installation
  • Pressure testing is necessary before commissioning
  • Regular maintenance of valves and seals is required

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install the Chempot, connect it via a bypass loop on the main circulation line, ensuring that isolation valves are installed on both the inlet and outlet sides for maintenance access. Always verify that the plumbing connections are leak-free and pressure-rated for your specific system. Regular care involves checking the valves for signs of seizing and inspecting the fill cap gasket for integrity. It is recommended to flush the dosing pot periodically to remove any residue or sediment buildup that might obstruct the flow or compromise the chemical efficacy.
