Chemical dosing

Dose, pump, tank and refill.

Almost every dosing error is a units error. The dose is set in milligrams per litre of water, the pump is bought in litres per hour of solution, and between the two sit a strength and a specific gravity that are easy to apply upside down. This page carries the chain through once — and then answers the two questions a drawing has to answer anyway: what size is the pump, and how often does somebody refill.
