Micronizer is designed to be installed in the water line just prior to the inlet of the hydropneumatic tank it serves. This mechanism is a venturi that draws air into the water line through the air inlet / check valve combination to continually charge the water with air. Excess air in the tank is relieved through an AVC assembly or an optional air vent installed in the tank. |
Micronizer is shipped with the indicator arrow set at 15 degrees on the dial. This slightly closes the larger of the two open holes inside to create a pressure differential that allows air to be drawn into the water line. The amount of air drawn in and draw time is adjusted with the adjustment knob. |
Do not assume a 30 degree setting means a 30% suction time. |
Properly installed and adjusted, Micronizer will draw air for 30 to 50% of the pump run time. For example, if the pump run time is one minute, a suction can be felt at the air inlet hole for 20 to 30 seconds. |
