4 Storage and transport
CAUTION!
– Prior to storage or transport, the
DULCODOS® Pool metering systems must be free
from feed chemicals and water
– Rinse out the media carrying parts, including the
tubes using clean, pure water
– Transport and store the DULCODOS® Pool
metering systems in their original packaging
– Also protect the packaged DULCODOS® Pool
metering systems against damp, exposure to
chemicals and mechanical effects
– Please also observe the operating instructions for
controllers and fittings and other units, such as
sensors, filters, metering pumps ...
Storage temperature: 0 ... 50 °C
Air humidity: < 95% relative air humidity, non-condensing
NOTICE!
If the DULCODOS® Pool metering systems are stored
as an assembly with the sensors, then the storage and
transport conditions must be appropriate for the com‐
ponent with the least resistance to external influences.

5 Assembly
Cleaning the injection valve
Localised increases in pH can occur through the
metering of chlorine into the swimming pool water.
This can result in limescale forming in the injection
valve.
Regularly check, clean and descale the injection valve.
The frequency of this work depends on the usage and
ambient parameters of your system and must be deter‐
mined during operation.
To avoid bursting of the metering hose, with metering
pumps of type alpha and Beta®, a multifunctional
valve, identity code characteristic "Multifunctional valve
disinfection pump", must be fitted in the metering line.
5.1 Wall mounting
Secure the metering system perpendicular and upright
on a wall or a stable mounting system.
The metering system should be freely accessible.
Select the mounting height you require so that:
nThe controller's display can be easily read
nthe controller lid can still be parked in the
[Park position] (150
mm)
nThere is still space for maintenance work beneath the in-line
probe housing (100 mm)
nThere is still room for the chemical storage tank (600 mm)
nThe fluid level of the full chemical storage tanks is below the
metering pumps
nThe maximum priming lift of the metering pumps is not
exceeded.

5.3.1 Metering system
NOTICE!
Maximum permissible operating pressure of in-line
probe housing
Limit the pressure to a maximum of 2 bar (at 30 °C)
directly at the sample water extraction point using a
pressure reducer, otherwise the maximum permissible
operating pressure of the in-line probe housing will be
exceeded.
Do not allow a back pressure of more than 2 bar
(at 30 °C) to build up at the outlet, otherwise the max‐
imum permissible operating pressure of the in-line
probe housing will be exceeded.
1. With flow sensor: Push the flow sensor into the in-line probe
housing and tighten the reducing nipple and the mounting
clip
2. Route the sample water feed via a ball valve from the filter
circuit to the in-line probe housing, see figures above
3. Route the sample water feed via a ball valve from the filtra‐
tion circuit to the in-line probe housing, see figures above
4. Install a 1/2" straight union on the filtration circuit pipe for
each injection valve

To ensure reliable measuring and control, the sample
water must be free from air bubbles.
1. Set a flow of 20 ... 60 l/h using the stopcock (read-off at the
top edge of the float).
2. Check the hydraulic leak-tightness of the system (escaping
liquid, continuous air bubbles in the in-line probe housing, ...)
ðTighten the threaded connectors if necessary.
1.
Have a collecting vessel at the ready
Open the sampling tap
Testing the hydraulic installation of
the metering system:
Check the system for negative pres‐
sure
Assembly
19

2. If water flows out of the sampling tap, the system is not under
negative pressure and is working correctly
If air is drawn in, this means that there is nega‐
tive pressure in the system. In this case, throttle
the valve at the point at which the sample water
pipe enters the filtration circuit - the pressure
should not exceed 2 bar.
3. Use the stopcock on the sample water drain to finely adjust
the system
5.3.2 Sensors
Observe the operating instructions for the sensors.
1. Close the shut-off valves upstream and downstream of the
in-line probe housing
2. Remove the transparent protective cap from the ball-shaped
end of the redox sensor
3. Manually screw the redox sensors into separate threaded
holes on the in-line probe housing. Then carefully tighten
using an SW 17 open-ended spanner until the threaded con‐
nector is tight
4. Testing the sensors' hydraulic installation: Adjust the flow
using the shut-off valve to 20... 60 l/h
ðCheck whether the threaded connectors on the in-line
probe housing are tight.
