The DRAMM Hydra-Corrosion Resistant Fitting Upgrade (HYDRA-CRF) represents a significant advancement in spray equipment technology, specifically engineered for customers who use high levels of oxidizers in their spray solutions. Recognizing the challenges posed by heavy metal testing, particularly lead, DRAMM has meticulously developed this upgrade to meet the highest standards of safety and performance.
Comprehensive Testing for Unmatched Safety:
Dramm's dedication to safety and quality is evident in the rigorous testing process undertaken to develop the HYDRA-CRF. Initial trials involved circulating both plain water and water mixed with ZeroTol (a common oxidizer) through the Hydra's bypass system, equipped with standard brass fittings. While tests on plain and recirculated water showed no lead presence, recirculated water with ZeroTol revealed lead leaching from the brass components.
Innovative Solution with HYDRA-CRF:
The HYDRA-CRF upgrade addresses these concerns head-on by replacing all brass fittings and manifolds with stainless steel or plated components. This not only eliminates the risk of lead contamination but also significantly enhances the system's durability and resistance to corrosion. Further testing of the HYDRA-CRF version with ZeroTol confirmed the absence of detectable lead levels, affirming the effectiveness of this upgrade.
Key Features:
Corrosion Resistance: Specifically designed to withstand the use of corrosive oxidizers, ensuring the longevity and reliability of your spray equipment.
Lead-Free Safety: Independent lab tests confirm the absence of detectable lead levels in water recirculated through the HYDRA-CRF, ensuring a safer environment for both users and crops.
Durable Construction: The upgrade includes stainless steel or plated components that are less susceptible to damage, even in the most demanding applications.
Compatibility: The HYDRA-CRF is designed to seamlessly integrate with your existing Hydra sprayer, making it an essential upgrade for those using high levels of oxidizers.
Important Usage Warning:
It is crucial to note that reverse osmosis (RO) water should not be used with any sprayer, including those upgraded with HYDRA-CRF, as RO water can damage even stainless steel components when combined with oxidizers or acids.
