How long does a HYPOCHLOR cartridge last?
A. Due to the fact that so many variables occur in water treatment, a definite answer to this question is impossible. It depends on several variables, each having an effect on consumption of the tablets: a) Water pressure b) Water flow c) Water temperature d) Depth of cartridge into the water flow e) Management of the system Each system is different but as a general rule: One HYPOCHLOR cartridge will chlorinate 120,000 gallons of water at 1 ppm. To figure a higher ppm you simply divide 120,000 by the ppm desired, i.e. 50 ppm = 120,000 divided by 50 = 2400 gallons of treated water. This will vary somewhat from application to application but generally works well enough for estimating purposes. Actual experience in your facility will tell you more.
