What is the function of a chemical pump in a hypochlorinator system?

In a hypochlorinator system, the primary function of a chemical pump is to dispense the chemical solution, specifically chlorine or other disinfectants, into the water system. This ensures that the correct amount of chlorine is delivered at the desired concentration for effective disinfection. Proper dosing is crucial for controlling pathogens in water supplies, maintaining water quality, and ensuring public health safety.

While other components may handle storing chemicals or mixing, those functions do not involve direct application into the water. A chemical pump's role is focused on accurately and consistently releasing the chemical solution into the flow of water, which facilitates timely and effective disinfection processes. Measurements of chemical concentration or mixing may be parts of a larger system, but they are not the primary role of the pump itself.
