1.5 The height of the bottom of the butterfly cleanout valve is 31 inches off of the ground.

1.6 The salt hopper shall be constructed of fiberglass and coated with an inner UV resistant white gel coat and a highly-visible yellow outer gel coat.

1.7 Overall nominal thickness of the salt hopper shall be 0.75 inches.

1.8 All fittings and valves shall be fiberglass reinforced molded polypropylene

1.9 The fill nozzles are capable of providing fresh water or recirculated brine water to the system depending on the position of the valves in the system.

1.10 The hopper shall have a 13 degree sloped bottom leading toward a circular 6” diameter discharge port fitted with a manually operated 6” diameter butterfly valve consisting of cast iron body, EPDM seat, 316 stainless steel disc and stem.

1.11 All clamps and other necessary hardware shall be stainless steel

1.12 There shall be a quick disconnect fitting for the hose connecting the discharge side of the pump to the salt hopper.

1.13 The salt hopper will be fitted with removable 304 stainless steel screens to minimize the amount of salt or other debris to be washed into the brine tank through the two overflow weirs.

1.14 The salt hopper will be permanently fitted with Two stainless steel rectangular overflow weirs having measurements of Width 20” x Height 4.5” x Depth 12”

2.8 The floor of the brine tank shall have a 5 degree slope from opposite side of the discharge port toward the discharge port

3. Motor/pump/valve stack assembly

3.1 The components on the motor/pump/valve stack assembly will be a motor, pump, conductivity analyzer sensor, a check valve and a three-way manual valve.

3.2 The motor shall be a 3hp, 240V, 3450 rpm; FLA 13; 1 PH TEFC

3.3 The pump shall be rated at a nominal 100 gpm with a 2” inlet and outlet with stainless steel impeller and housing.

3.4 There shall be a salinity probe mounted and housed on the discharge side of the pump.

The probe will be wired to the salinity analyzer control box with 15 ft of usable shielded cable.

3.5 There shall be a manual 3-way valve mounted on the downstream side of the conductivity probe housing. The valve will control whether the water/brine solution being discharged from the pump will be sent to the salt hopper (recirculationproduction mode) or to a customer supplied brine storage device, such as a tank or truck

3.6 There shall be a 3” check valve mounted on the pump assembly to eliminate any backflow of water and salt from the salt hopper or from a storage tank/truck through the pump.

3.7 There shall be a 2” male quick disconnect fitting on the “storage” side of the 3 –way valve that the customer can connect to in order to take the finished product from the

AccuBatch™ system to a customer supplied storage device
