I live in FL and have sulfur in my water. I need to make a chlorine tank for my system. I know I need the tank and a dosing pump. Does anyone have a diagram of the way it should be hooked up.

You are smelling hydrogen sulphide gas.
If you have no other issues - iron, low Ph, hardness, bacteria etc...
I have a simple, one tank, non-chemical, less expensive option for you.

If you really need a chlorination system you will need a flow switch, mixing tank,
Stenner injection pump, 120 gallon retention tank and a 10 x 45 GAC filter.

Email or call me with details and I will point you in the right direction.

H20 MAN,

We have used the same set up for heavy sulfur--more than 7ppm. But after a number of years and numerous service calls we discovered that H202 is more effective with the same chemical feed or as effective with less feed.

We found that injectors need to be cleaned or replaced and carbon media needs to replaced more than we had predicted.

Although we never tested for them, chlorination has shown to produce disinfection by-products (DBP). After its oxidation process, hydrogen peroxide's by-product is water.

H202 is more expensive and more difficult to find for the customer, but we have found it works better and causes fewer problems.

I do like the Stenner pump more than typical diaphragm pulse-type pumps. With Stenner, which is a peristaltic pump, H202 can be used because it is self priming. H202 is not recommended for diaphragm pumps as air can intermix with chemical feel solutions and may need priming.

Have you ever used H202 with your systems either for sulfur or precipitation systems?
