Abstract:
An apparatus for self-contained treatment of an aqueous system comprising:a housing enclosing a controller, a feed pump and a treatment agent contained within one or more containers; a sensor electrically communicating with the controller for measuring a parameter of water within the aqueous system; a bleed pump electrically communicating with the controller such that the controller controllably activate the bleed pump when the parameter is at or exceeds a predetermined level wherein the bleed pump removes water from the aqueous system upon activation; and the feed pump electrically communicating with the controller such that the controller controllably activates the feed pump during activation of the bleed pump wherein the feed pump acts to deliver the treatment agent to the water in an aqueous system, wherein the apparatus includes a first container connected to the feed pump and a second container hydraulically connected to the first container such that the second container feeds the treatment agent into the first container as the treatment agent is delivered to the feed pump.
