Why Regular Maintenance Matters

Your Dosatron is the heart of your operation. Whether you’re irrigating crops or medicating livestock, downtime costs money. Preventive maintenance helps you:

  • Avoid unexpected breakdowns
  • Ensure accurate dosing
  • Extend the life of your unit
  • Reduce long-term costs

Why? Dirt and crystallised concentrate can negatively affect performance. Preventive care keeps your system reliable.

4 Signs Your Dosatron Needs Attention

  • Fewer clicks or irregular dosing
  • Blocked suction filter or damaged hose
  • Worn seals or leaking connections
  • Reduced flow rate or pressure issues

If your unit is over a year old, it’s time for a check-up.

Routine maintenance once a year will add to the life of your DOSATRON. Replace the dosing seals as well as the suction tube annually to ensure proper injection.
