Hydro Systems HydroMinder™ Series Automatic Drum Mounted Venturi Coolant Mixers
$242.00 – $457.00
HydroMinders™ keep a reservoir filled with ready-to-use solution. When the level in the reservoir drops, the float opens a water valve and the HydroMinder™ replenishes the supply of solution in the tank. When the level reaches the preset fill level, the HydroMinder™ automatically shuts off.
Hydro Systems HydroMinder™ Series Automatic Drum Mounted Venturi Coolant Mixers
Simple liquid level maintenance
The HydroMinder™ has become the industry standard for liquid level maintenance for over 20 years and proven successful for many applications.
HydroMinders™ keep a reservoir filled with ready-to-use solution. When the solution level in the reservoir drops, the float opens a non-electric magnetic valve. The flow of water siphons liquid concentrate into the water stream, automatically maintaining the level of ready-to-use solution. When the tank reaches the preset fill level, the HydroMinder™ automatically shuts off.
Venturi mixers use water passing over an orifice to create suction that draws the concentrate from the container and mixes it with the water. Concentration on the HydroMinders™ is adjusted by changing the orifice size. These units cannot operate with any back pressure, so they can only be used to fill a pail or nearby container. They cannot be used with any type of sprayer or shut-off valve on the discharge side. Accuracy can be affected by water pressure and concentrate level.

- Useful in a variety of applications
- Ideal for all-purpose or specialized cleaners strippers, degreasers, soluble oil and synthetic coolants, and fertilizers
- Built with high quality chemically resistant materials
- Includes back flow preventer
- Model 532 has 2 independent eductors which meter two concentrates at their individually required dilution ratios, or one concentrate at two different ratios
- More models available
Package contains:
- Proportioner with U-clamp for mounting
- Float with chain
- Suction tube with foot valve – 9 ft.
- Discharge tube – 2 ft.
- Metering tip kit – 14 tips
- Product information sheet
Installation:
- Mount the unit in a level position on the side of a reservoir. The U-clamp may be repositioned or removed as necessary.
- Install a minimum 1/2-inch ID water hose between the inlet threads and the water spigot. Minimum water pressure required to properly operate the proportioner is 25 PSI (flowing).
- Attach the end of the discharge tube with the clamp and flooding ring to the discharge barb on the eductor.
- Insert the foot valve end of the suction tube into the concentrate container. The level of the concentrate must be below the level of the eductor or the proportioner will continue to siphon concentrate after it is turned “off”.
- Select a metering tip and screw it into the suction stub on the eductor body.
- Slide the open end of the suction tube over the suction stub.
- Adjust the bead chain length to position the float at the desired level of solution. To prevent foaming, be certain that the solution level will always be above the point of discharge. Be sure the float mechanism is not hampered by water turbulence caused by discharging solution. It may be necessary to baffle the float from the discharge in order for the unit to work properly.
Metering Tip Selection:
The final concentration of the dispensed liquid is related to both the size of the metering tip opening (orifice) and the viscosity of the liquid being siphoned. Factors such as inlet water pressure and temperature can also affect dilution ratios. Test the actual dilution you are achieving for best results. Two undrilled, clear tips are supplied for drilling sizes not included.
