I'm looking for a solution to a problem we are having in our water treatment system.
We add a lime slurry to the water prior to it going through the filtration process.
The slurry is is hand made.
With out going into too much detail, the Control system running the filtration process is taxed to the limit.
With in a year the whole filtration system will be replaced
What I need to do is pretty simple.
For every bag of lime that is added to the slurry tank 100 gals of water needs to be added.
The issue is that the water is added by an operator opening and closing a valve.
The problems is that some times the operator gets called away and doesn't shut off the water (I'll only be gone a minute).
What I am looking for is a 110 VAC stand alone system that will add the 100 gals and shut off.
I was thinking about a home sprinkler type timer to control this (xgals/min type a thing.
This would of course require the operator to think and we can't have that.
I am open to suggestions, but would like some thing that could measure flow rate then shut off when the require amount of gals is reach.
Basically I want some thing that the operator would just have to push a start button them walk away.
Thanks in advance
