1.0 INTRODUCTION
Wingert Feeders are designed to provide you with a rugged and dependable means of introducing
chemicals into hot water, chilled water, or other liquid streams. Simplicity of design and ease of
operation are inherent in every Wingert Feeder. Wingert Filter Feeders eliminate the need for a
separate bypass feeder and filter. As rugged and dependable as our complete line of bypass
feeders, the filter feeder offers ease of installation with precise filtering capabilities down to 25
micron.
2.0 WARRANTY
Wingert Bypass, Filter, & Bromine Feeders are guaranteed for one year from the date of shipment
against manufacturing defects in material and workmanship which develop in the service for which
they are designed. We will repair or replace defective material when returned to our factory with
transportation prepaid: providing that the material is found to be defective upon inspection. We
assume no liability for labor and/or other expenses in making repairs or adjustments. All
replacements will be F.O.B. factory.
3.0 UNPACKING
Wingert Feeders are fully assembled and tested before shipping from the factory. Unpack and
inspect feeder for physical damage. If feeder is damaged (and not noted with the freight carrier),
contact the factory immediately for assistance. Verify that what you ordered is what you have
received. Use the table on the following page along with the packing slip to identify the contents.
NOTE: You only have 3-5 days after receipt of goods to file a freight claim.

LOCATION AND ENVIRONMENT
Wingert Feeders are designed for outdoor applications in direct exposure to the environment,
however, exposure to extreme colds may cause contents to swell and vessel to burst. All feeders
are coated with a water based enamel. Further protection may be added with a “-EK3” epoxy
coating option.

6.0 INSTALLATION
These factors must be considered when installing your Wingert Feeder:
1) FLOWRATE
All Wingert Feeders are designed as bypass vessels and flow rate through feeder should
not exceed:
1 GPM on 1 gallon feeders
2 GPM on 2 gallon feeders
5 GPM on 5 gallon feeders and larger
2) PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL
Pressure differential should not exceed 5 PSI on filtered feeders.
On all others, pressure differential should not exceed 10 PSI.
3) CREATING AND REGULATING FLOW AND PRESSURE DIFFERENTIAL
The key to any good installation is how you are going to create and control the flow rate and
pressure differential. The most effective ways to do this is to plumb the bypass line across
the recirculation pump, or to install a throttling valve in the main line. Controlling the flow is
most effective when using a flow control valve set at a factory preset flow rate. You may also
use globe, gate or needle valves to achieve proper flows.
Use the following diagrams to decide which installation is best for your application.
Consult the factory for variations in standard installations.
6.1 INSTALLATION DIAGRAM - BYPASS FEEDERS, PLEATED FILTER
FEEDERS, HIGH PRESSURE FEEDERS & BROMINE FEEDERS
Bypass Feeders, Pleated Filter Feeders, High Pressure Feeders & Bromine Feeders use
the lower side port for inlet and the upper side port for outlet.

6.2 INSTALLATION DIAGRAM - FILTER FEEDERS
Filter Feeders use the upper side port for inlet and the lower side
port for outlet.
7.0 APPLICATION INFORMATION & TROUBLESHOOTING
Follow the supplied guidelines closely. High volume and excess pressure are often contributing factors in shortening feeder life. A main contributing factor to decreasing the life of any
feeder is trapped air. Once air is trapped in the feeder, the carbon steel will deteriorate rapidly.
Removing excess trapped air is a necessity for any closed loop system.
TROUBLESHOOTING CHART
SYMPTOM
CAUSE
ACTION
Leaking at closure
Improper seating of o-ring
Remove cap, clean surface, and reseat cap and closure. If
problem persists, replace o-ring.
Leaking at fittings
Improper seal or crossthreading of fittings
Remove leaking fitting and sealant, then inspect threading for
damage. If threads seem to be intact, apply sealant (thread
tape or pipe dope) and re-seat fitting. If problem persists,
replace the fitting.
Filter damage
High particle content or excess
flow rate
Check flow rate and control valves. Inspect filter chamber for
solids contents. Adjust valves and replace filter. Large particle
content is often a typical problem during start-up.
Interior corrosion
Trapped air or chemical content
If corrosion is apparent only near the fill port of vessel, typically
there has been excessive trapped air. To remove trapped air,
close isolation valves, and fill feeder to upmost point. Be sure
to educate personnel of potential problems, and replace vessel
if necessary. If corrosion is covering body interior, check with
chemical supplier for compatibilty.
Leaking at seams
Pinhole w hen being
manufactured or excessive use
Trapped gas when vessel is being produced may cause pin
leaks when installed. Vessels that begin to leak after some
time of service, may just be wearing thin. Typically there is no
way to repair a vessel that is wearing thin, replace if needed.

9.0 MAINTENANCE
When filling or inspecting a feeder, make sure that the vessel is not under pressure. Close
isolation valves and open drain valve before opening fill port. Opening air release valve will
release pressure ; beware that the contents may project through the valve.
Feeders generally need very little maintenance. When servicing or recharging the system,
consult a water doctor for schedule. The most important factor in maintenance is to always
purge trapped air when returning feeder to service. Filters should be maintained based on
solids in system. Check frequently until schedule can be determined.
