6. If you get too much chlorine you can turn down the speed of the pump or make the chlorine
solution more diluted.
7. Once you are in the yellow spectrum, use the up and down arrows to adjust the speed setting,
until you are measuring 0.2- 1.0 ppm residual. Usually, values 0.5 and below are too low to
smell the chlorine, that is often ideal depending on the application.
Formula for Calculating Solution Strength and Settings
Note: mg/L is the same as Parts Per Million. 12% chlorine is the same as saying 120,000 PPM of
chlorine. 5% household bleach is 50,000 PPM chlorine.
If you added 1 gallon of 12% chlorine to 9 gallons of water (or ½ gallon of bleach to 4-1/2 gallons of
water), you would end up with approximately 12,000 PPM solution strength.
How many parts per million of chlorine should I inject?
Apply 1.0 PPM of chlorine for every 1 PPM of iron; 2 PPM of chlorine for every 1 PPM of Hydrogen
Sulfide and/or Manganese.
The simple formula is: Flow Rate in Gallons Per Minute GPM x Parts Per Million of Applied Dosage x
1440 Minutes in One Day = Gallons Per 24 Hour Period of Chlorine.
Example: Assume you wanted to apply 5.0 PPM of chlorine to your well water. You diluted ½ gallon of
12% chlorine with 4.5 gallons of water, which is approximately a 12,000 PPM chlorine solution strength.
You know your well pump flow rate is 12 GPM.
5.0 PPM x 12 GPM x 1440 Divided by 12000 = 7.2 Gallons Per Day
What this mean is approximately 7.2 gallons of the chlorine solution will be pumped for every 24 hours
your well pump runs. Your well pump does not run 24 hours each day usually.
For example, If your well runs 2 hours a day, in 12 days you would use about 7.2 gallons of the diluted
chlorine solution.
Therefore, you need a chlorinator pump that can pump 7.2 gallons in 24 hours. The JPRO-22 pump
pumps 22 gallons per 24 hours. So: 7.2 divided by 22 = 32%
Set the JPRO-22 speed to 32%, which will turn it into a 7.2 Gallon Per Day Pump.
Troubleshooting and Maintenance:
Most problems occur with the connections, it can sometimes be hard to push the tubing onto
the cones, sometimes fittings are over-tightened, or people use Teflon tape and paste on
fittings that do not need it.
