Reliable Chem-Tech Back Check Assembly for Enhanced Chemical Feed Pump Performance
The CTU8800712 Chem-Tech Back Check Assembly is designed to improve the efficiency and safety of your chemical feed pump system. This essential component prevents backflow contamination, ensuring consistent and accurate chemical dosing in water treatment setups. Built as a durable part and accessory for chemical feed pumps, it offers a dependable solution that protects your equipment and maintains system integrity.
Key Benefits
- Prevents backflow to safeguard your chemical feed pump and water system
- Enhances dosing accuracy by maintaining unidirectional flow
- Durable construction withstands harsh chemical environments for long-lasting use
- Easy to install and compatible with a variety of Chem-Tech pump models
- Minimizes system downtime by reducing maintenance needs
How It Works
The Chem-Tech Back Check Assembly functions as a one-way valve within your chemical feed pump system. It allows chemical solutions to flow forward into the treatment system while preventing any reverse flow that could contaminate the pump or water supply. This assembly ensures that chemicals are precisely delivered without mixing or leakage, critical for maintaining water quality and system safety.
By automatically closing when flow reverses, it protects the pump diaphragm and other internal components from damage caused by backpressure or chemical backflow, extending the life of your equipment.
What to Expect
Once installed, you will immediately notice improved system reliability and smoother pump operation. In the first days and weeks, the back check assembly will maintain consistent chemical feed rates without interruption or backflow issues. Over time, its robust design reduces the need for frequent maintenance, contributing to lower operational costs and less downtime.
Regular inspections will confirm its ongoing performance, but due to its quality build and chemical resistance, this assembly offers dependable service for extended periods under typical water treatment conditions.
What’s Inside
- Polymer Valve Housing – Provides chemical resistance and mechanical strength to withstand corrosive feed solutions.
- Precision Valve Seat – Ensures a tight seal preventing any reverse flow and maintaining dosing accuracy.
- Spring Mechanism – Automatically closes the valve under backpressure for reliable backflow prevention.
- Sealing Gaskets – Enhance leak-proof performance and protect internal components from chemical exposure.
How to Use
- Turn off the chemical feed pump and depressurize the system before installation.
- Remove the existing back check assembly, if applicable, by unscrewing or unclamping.
- Inspect connection points for wear or damage and clean as needed to ensure a proper seal.
- Install the CTU8800712 assembly in the correct flow direction indicated on the part.
- Tighten fittings securely to prevent leaks but avoid over-tightening that could damage the housing.
- Restore system pressure and check for proper operation and absence of backflow.
- Schedule routine inspections to maintain optimal performance.
