[QUOTE="Chickcatcher, post: 6557133, member: 700"] Dosatrons have evolved over the last 25 years I have been using them. Depending on which one they are could be all sorts of things, but lets think its just the basic 100- 1 fixed percentage. I have had the problem of water bypassing the piston in the cylinder at low flow rates. A new piston solved the problem. Recent problem was one of the (two) valves breaking off, no mend for that. Older ones that you could adjust the percentage usually had a broken spring or the pin holding the mechanism together falling out. Probably no use for your problem. Always need to check that the concentrate is being administered as sometimes the valve in the stem fails and it can be clicking away merrily but nothing being sucked up. [/QUOTE]
