Tools Required

LOWER END SCREWSDosatron AquaBlend

Use a screw driver to remove the (4) screws holding the lower end

Remove the lower end by turning counter-clockwise

Why is this important?Maintenance on the AquaBlend is easier. No tools are required when working on the AquaBlend

Lower End Service

No Tools Required

Service and Repairs

Plunger Seal

Dosatron shaft cannot be removed

D25

Dosatron AquaBlend

Plunger Shaft cannot be removed Plunger shaft can be removed with a ¼ turn

Why is this important?Maintenance on the AquaBlend is easier. The plunger seal is the most common wear item. For the D25, you can only replace the plunger seal by removing it from the shaft

Converting from 2% to 5%Dosatron AquaBlend

Plunger Shaft cannot be removed Plunger shaft can be removed with a ¼ turn

Why is this important?Modularity. Pumps can changed from a 2% unit to a 5% unit simply by buying a kit, not an entire new unit. This saves money, and reduces inventory.

Entire shaft can be removed and replaced on the AquaBlend

Motor Piston DesignDosatron AquaBlend

(4) Screws on the piston are sealed with o-rings

Screws on the piston go into blind holes

Why is this important?Improved performance at low flows. The use of thru holes and o-rings on the D25 creates a path for leaks. The AquaBlend cannot leak because the screw holes do not go thru the piston. This is critical in the first few days of a new flock.

Motor Piston DesignDosatron AquaBlend

Poppet arm is not guided Poppet arm is guided

Why is this important?Improved performance at low flows and increased life. By guiding the poppet arm, it is easier to seat on the chamfer. The reduced movement of the arm means the seal has less side to side movement, which reduces wear on the seal.

Motor Piston DesignDosatron AquaBlend

Tight unsmoothed spring rails Specifically engineered spring rails

Why is this important?Improved performance at low flows and spring life. By specifically engineering the spring rails, Hydro Systems has reduced friction and wear on the springs. The reduced friction of the arm means springs last longer.
