Getting the most from the system
To extend the life of the Stenner 17 GPD Chemical Feed Pump and enhance its performance, establish consistent operating habits. Keep the pump in a well-ventilated area to avoid overheating, and ensure it remains dry to prevent corrosion or electrical issues. Regularly monitor the chemical levels in the reservoir and refill before they run low, as this ensures steady dosing and prevents air from entering the system.
Additionally, avoid frequent rapid adjustments to the flow rate, as this can lead to wear on the pump's components. Instead, make gradual changes and allow time for the system to stabilize. These practices contribute to optimal performance and improved water quality in your treatment system.
