Formulas for Poly & Fluoride

              1PPM Dosage

Fluoride requires 4 gallons of chemical / 1,000,000

 

 

GPM of well _______ X 60 = ______GPH pumped.

 

1,000,000 gallons water   Divided by _______GPH = ________Number of hours needed to pump

                                                                                                             1,000,000 gallons water

____ Gallons of chemical needed for  1 PPM dosage Divided by Number of hours needed to pump

                                                                                                             1,000,000 gallons water

= _________Gallons per hour of chemical needed to feed per hour

 

A-151 PUMP  OUTPUT    1.0gph

A-171 PUMP  OUTPUT      .42gph

 

Example  1000 GPM well  X 60 = 60,000 GPH

 

1,000,000 Divided by  60,000 GPH= 16.7 Number of hours needed to pump  1,000,000 gallons water

{For poly} 4.61 gallons Divided by  16.7 Number of hours needed to pump  1,000,000 gallons water

 

=.276 GPH

 

to set   A-171 pump {.42}  set stroke [big knob] about 90%    .42 x.9 [90%] =.378 GPH

.276 gallons required Divided by .378 =.73 or 73% frequency [little knob]

 

Example  1000 GPM well  X 60 = 60,000 GPH

 

1,000,000 Divided by  60,000 GPH= 16.7 Number of hours needed to pump  1,000,000 gallons water

{For fluoride} 4 gallons 16.7 Number of hours needed to pump  1,000,000 gallons water=.24 GPH

 

Gallons per  Day  {.000,001}  X 4  = gallons of chemical used FLUORIDE
