Flujo de Agua en el Reactor,

[seraran]

Hola,
unas preguntillas sencillas,

1 Usáis algún método sencillo para calcular el flujo de agua que pasa por el reactor, ???

2 Para que cuando se pare la bomba no se vacíe el reactor y la zeolita se quede sin agua, se puede usar una válvula antiretorno??? o pierde mucho caudal la bomba??

3 Si los reactores vienen con una bomba sobredimensionada, no es mejor cogerle sin bomba y poner una mas adecuada???

Saludos,

Hi Seraran, & bienvenido de la ZEOvit.com. With the ZEOvit method, the correct flow rate through the reactor is important--400 l/h per ltr. zeolites used in the zeo-reactor. The flow rate can be determined by noting the time in seconds it takes to fill a 1 ltr. container from the reactor output--400 l/h = 36 seconds, 800 l/h = 18 seconds, etc. A inline check-valve may be needed between the pump & zeo-reactor to prevent back siphoning when the reactor is in the "off" mode, as the stones must be under water at all times. I used a simple peg-type timer to create the on & off 3hr. intervals. I'm not sure I understand question #3?? Let me say that some just place the zeolites in a filter sock in a high flow area [overflow from main tank] but the best way to use the ZEOvit is to use a zeo-reactor with a handle, in order to clean the stones daily with a pumping repetitions.

Hola

the question 3 done of another way

if the zeo reactor goes with a high rate flow pump, it's better to buy the reactor without pump and put another with low flow?

Hi, now that I can understand Thnx. You can regulate the flow into the zeo-filter, of course, by interconnecting a ball-valve inline between the pump & filter & calculating the flow rate as mentioned above. Sure, any pump that renders the correct zeo-filter flow rate[400 l/h per ltr. zeolites used] can be used. Bob

Hi Bob,

are you sure is 400 l/h=36 seconds, because an hour has 3600 seconds, if I do 3600 sec/400 l i get 9 sec/l, i`m not sure this is right TIA

bye, Gil

Hi Gil, my metrics are lacking, so I've asked Alexander look in on this thread & correct my calculations. Thnx. for your post, Gil.Bob

Gil, if you convert the maximum water flow of 400 liters per hour through seconds, the water flow through the reactor is 0,111111 liters per second which means 9 seconds for one liter.

thanks, I was getting confused lol
