As a permanent fixture, this device provides consistent, highly accurate pH readings for your records with automated dosing to return the water to the correct level for sanitation and comfort. Ideal for compliance with HSG282 guidelines defined by the HSE for UK businesses.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAutomatic dosing pump and controller for pools, hot tubs and spas\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BL-100 pH controller and dosing pump series is designed to maintain the pH and chlorine balance within hot tubs, swimming pools and spas. This controller achieves this balance by measuring pH, allowing for a rapid increase to keep the balance of your pool, hot tub or spa consistent for comfort, safety and sanitation.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eWhen the pH in a pool or hot tub increases above 7.4, a form of chlorine, known as hypochlorite ion (OCl-) increases. This form of chlorine is 100 times less effective at killing bacteria than the other form of chlorine known as hypochlorous acid (HOCl). As such, it's crucial to maintain the proper pH level to enable effective disinfection with hypochlorous acid, preventing potential sickness and infection while providing a clean, comfortable experience for yourself or your guests.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs an inexpensive non-portable solution for consumers, the BL-100 series offers high-quality, consistent, reliable functionality. Simply insert the probe and injection valve in-line with the recirculation pump and provide the chemical to be dosed, and this innovative instrument does the rest of the work for you. The BL-100-00 is also in-line with HSG282 guidelines for the testing and dosing of water in spa pools and hot tubs, ensuring full compliance with minimal effort.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eBL-100-00 features\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003ePeristaltic Dosing Pump\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BL-100 has a powerful built-in peristaltic chemical feed pump that utilizes a stepper motor which does not have any gears or brushes to wear out. This design allows for a long life and little maintenance.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eQuick Connect Probe Input\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe Quick Connect DIN connector creates a waterproof seal with the controller making it ideal for reducing electrical noise issues with the connection caused by humid environments.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAdjustable Flow Rate\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe flow rate from the dosing pumps is adjustable from 0.5 to 3.5L\/h. Larger bodies of water require more chemicals to be dosed than smaller ones per unit of time. The adjustable flow rate, like the proportional band, allows for better control in maintaining a desired set point.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAutomatic Proportional Pump Control\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe peristaltic dosing pump can be controlled by simple on\/off or more advanced proportional control, which helps prevent overshooting of the set point. When using proportional control, the programmed flow rate will be impacted by the proportional band used. The closer the reading is to the set point, the longer it takes for the peristaltic pump to complete one revolution. If the reading is outside the proportional band, then the time it takes to complete one revolution is based on the programmed flow rate.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eAcid Tank Level\/Flow Switch Input\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BL-100 allows for a connection to an optional level controller or flow switch. This input can be used to disable the dosing pump when there is no chemical left in the reservoir tank, or there is no flow due to the pump being turned off.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eProgrammable Alarm System\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eEnables or disables the low and high-level alarms for pH. When an alarm is activated, all dosing will stop. For added safety, the alarm system also offers overdosing protection. The meter will go into alarm status if the set point value is not corrected within a programmed time interval.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eMulti-coloured LCD Display\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BL-100 features a multi-coloured LCD that provides a quick way to see the status of the pool controller. The display will be green if in control mode and operating as intended. If control is not enabled, the display will be light green. While in an alarm state, the display flashes red.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHSG282-compliant technology\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eHSG282 guidelines defined by the HSE in 2017 provide clear advice on the practices to prevent infectious pathogens in hot tubs and pool spas. The BL-100 series offers a viable hands-off solution for the twice-daily monitoring of pH levels within hot tubs and spas, plus water dosing to maintain optimal sanitation.

The built-in amplifier helps reduce electrical noise from recirculation pumps to provide stable, reliable measurements. The pH glass used is ideal for low conductivity water and provides for fast response. The PVDF body of the probe has a 1\/2\" threaded fitting for insertion to an in-line \"T\" fitting or the flow cell. The probe body has a hex fitting for tightening snuggly with a wrench.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eAs an additional safety feature, the pH sensor is designed to have 0 mV value for pH 4 and not at pH 7 like typical pH electrodes. This additional feature is essential since a 0 mV potential will result when the internal glass is cracked and shorts with the reference cell.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFor the HI-10053, the 0 mV value will be pH 4, and this type of reading will produce an alarm state (when programmed) and disable the pump from dosing. A standard pH electrode would have a pH value close to 7 and could result in either no dosing or excessive dosing based on the actual value and programmed set point.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch2\u003eBL-100 configurations\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBL-100-00 pH Controller\u003c\/strong\u003e: The standard model of the BL-100 includes the HI-10053 pH electrode.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBL-100-10 pH Controller\u003c\/strong\u003e: The BL-100-10 includes the kit necessary for in-line mounting in addition to the HI-10053 electrode.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBL-100-20 pH Controller\u003c\/strong\u003e: The BL100-20 features an on-panel design with a flow cell, plus the HI-10053 electrode.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch2\u003eBL-100-00 pH controller FAQs\u003c\/h2\u003e \u003ch3\u003eIs the BL-100-00 HSG282 compliant?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe BL-100 series includes a highly accurate pH and temperature electrode, the HI-10053, which is entirely in line with compliance requirements for HSG282.

For example, a controller is programmed to have a set point of pH 7.40 with a 1.00 pH unit proportional band and the flow rate at 1.0 L\/h. Any reading above pH 8.4 will cause the dosing of acid to be at 1 L\/h. If the reading is at pH 7.90, which is 1\/2 of the band, the dosing pump will run at half speed or deliver 0.5 L\/h of chemical.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eWhich BL-100 series model is best for my business?\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow do I get in contact to order the BL-100-00?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003ctable\u003e\u003ctbody\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\u003cth colspan=\"2\" style=\"text-align:left;\"\u003e\u003cstrong\u003epH\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/th\u003e\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eRange\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.00 to 14.00 pH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eResolution\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e0.01 pH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAccuracy (@25°C\/77°F)\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003e±0.10 pH\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e\n\u003ctr\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCalibration\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUser calibration: automatic, one or two-point with buffer solution (4.01, 7.01, 10.01 pH);
