[QUOTE="sjt01, post: 9249179, member: 30726"] Ask the Pruex guys about the dosage. We started with a Dosatron, but when it wore out due to very fine grit from the borehole, I replace it with a dosing pump [URL]https://www.hannainstruments.co.uk/chemical-dosing-pumps/1884-blackstone-chemical-pumps[/URL] which runs whenever the borehole pump runs. We pump nearly 20 m3 per day, for dairy, sprayer, house etc and after the initial dosing have cut back to about a drum a month. We mix 10 litres up in a 100 litre drum and the dosing pump draws from that. This is our borehole shed. We mix up in the grey drum, the PIP Water plus is drawn up using the yellow 6mm pipe to the dosing pump and then into the main water line via a check (non-return) valve. We have added a tee and a small valve to vent the pipe so we can prime it if the drum of mix runs dry. [ATTACH type="full"]1174159[/ATTACH][ATTACH type="full"]1174158[/ATTACH] [/QUOTE]
