Colloid-a-tron installation guide
Sizing
Size matters – selecting the right conditioner is critical
Selecting the wrong size conditioner – including using a larger diameter than needed – can compromise water delivery and affect treatment quality
Conditioner size should be selected based on flow rate
In general applications where the flow rate is known to be low or there is relatively heavy scale build-up inside the pipe already. In this instance, a conditioner 1 size smaller than the pipe diameter is recommended.
