Gator XL Instalation

PIPING BYPASS

To dose or not to dose, that is the question! The Gator dosing pump is best installed in a piping bypass so you can have a choice to dose or not.

PLACEMENT

Keep the solution container directly under the Gator to avoid kinks in the suction hose.

CONNECTORS

Specify whether you prefer ¾” Male Garden Hose Thread (MGHT) or 1” Iron Pipe Thread (IPT) connector fittings which we ship free with each Gator.

FILTER

Install a filter upstream of the Gator Chemical Feed Pump with a screen size of 104 microns (140 mesh) or smaller. We offer the Spin-Down filter as it is extremely easy to clean (just once a day, open the valve that comes with it for 1 second), is transparent so you don’t need pressure gauges to know if it’s dirty, and does not require tools to open it for cleaning or service.

HIGH VOLUME

For water flows over 2300 LPH, you can install multiple Gators. For example, for a 9,200 LPH operation, you can install 4 Gators, often at the same or less cost of  a single competitive unit of that capacity,  with  the advantage that if one Gator needs service you would still have 3 others working.

BACK FLOW PREVENTION

Often, for rural areas with your own well, all that is required is a check valve. If connected to municipal water, you most likely need a back flow preventer. Check with your local authorities about back-flow prevention regulations, we are not responsible for improper installation.

WATER METER

An optional meter can be installed upstream of the Gator to know your water consumption.

PRESSURE REDUCER OR REGULATOR

To be installed if incoming water pressure is over 8.27 Bar (120 PSI).

Gator Basic Maintenance and Videos


  • Regularly clean or replace the 8038 Check Valve to ensure that chemical does not flow back into the chemical container.

  • Regularly clean or replace the 3063-1 Chemical Filter Screen so that chemical is not blocked from being drawn up the suction hose.

  • Replace the 8031 Pump Replacement Cartridge when the Gator does not pump chemical.

  • Replace the 2011 Motor/Pump Connector Rod Orings when the Gator does not operate at low flow.
