Dilution Solutions NDS Mixing Chamber Kit, 1 1/2 in | HYKMC150 Hi-Flo, 40 GPM

Dilution Solutions Mixing Chamber Kit for the 1 1/2 Inch Hi-Flo NDS

Concentrate leaves a Dosatron as a narrow stream, and it takes a little volume and turbulence before it spreads evenly through the water. This kit, part HYKMC150, adds that space to a 1 1/2 inch Hi-Flo nutrient delivery system. Water from the upstream doser enters the chamber, swirls and leaves as an even blend. The next doser in line then injects into a uniform solution, rather than into a streak of concentrate. Dilution Solutions calls the chamber a must for silicates. The Hi-Flo water-powered series it belongs to runs from 5 to 40 GPM. An arrow on the body marks the flow direction. Inside the box are the mixing chamber, a 4 inch nipple for the inlet, a close nipple for the outlet and a union. A roll of thread seal tape covers every joint. The union lets you lift the chamber out for cleaning without cutting into the panel. The kit sits between dosers, so a system can carry more than one when several products need blending space. Dosatron dosers, the starter kit, the monitor or end kit and the water hammer arrestor kit are sold separately.

Placing the Dilution Chamber on the Panel

Plan the chamber's spot when you lay the panel out on the floor. The usual run is starter kit, dosers, mixing chamber, more dosers, then the monitor or end kit. Put it straight after the doser carrying silica, so the silicate is fully blended before any other product joins it. Wrap all male threads with five or six turns of tape, clockwise, and keep pipe dope off the system. Find the arrow on the chamber body before tightening anything. Thread the long nipple into the inlet side, the side the arrow points away from. Fit the close nipple to the outlet side, then add the union to the end of that nipple. Connect the inlet nipple to the union on the upstream doser. Snug each joint without forcing the threads. Open the supply slowly on the first fill and let the chamber purge its air. Watch for drips at both ends while the dosers start to click. Pull the chamber at each system clean-out and rinse away any residue that has settled inside.
