Clack Potassium Permanganate Tank Installation guide

  • Hello! I've reviewed the product detail for the Clack Potassium Permanganate Feeders. This document describes feeders designed for regenerating systems with Manganese Greensand or MTM. It details their capacity, construction, and safety features like the secure cover and warning labels. I am ready to answer any questions you might have about these feeders.
  • What is the capacity of the Potassium Permanganate tank?
    What liquid capacity does the tank have?
    What is the purpose of the grid pad?
    What materials is the tank made of?
    What is a recommended dose of Potassium Permanganate for regeneration?
Clack's Potassium Permanganate
Feeder Assembly incorporates a non-
pressurized storage tank and
innovative grid design along
with our dependable 464 float valve.
The attractive 10" x 16" tank is made
of tough blow molded high density
poly-ethylene, and contains an
ultraviolet inhibitor (UVI) for increased
resistance to sunlight.* It has a
Potassium Permanganate capacity of
30 pounds and a liquid capacity of
five gallons. Feeders are available in
blue, almond, or black and can be
ordered in two, four, or six ounce
delivery capacities.
The black injection molded cover is
securely fastened with three stainless
steel safety screws to prevent access
by children and pets. (As with all
chemicals, the potassium
permanganate chemical tank should
be placed safely away from children
or pets). Chemical warning and drain
caution labels are affixed to the unit.
The unique polypropylene felt grid
pad retains even the finest grade of
undissolved Potassium
Permanganate above the grid. This
permits efficient use of our assembly
with all grades of Potassium Permang-
anate. Two and four ounce feeders
have a grid platform height of 5¾
inches. Six ounce feeders have a grid
*Please note: Black HDPE tanks do not require UVI. Black colored HDPE is naturally resistant to sunlight.
plat-form height of 7 5/8 inches. The
unit is shipped fully tested and
assembled in individual cartons.

IRON AND MANGANESE REMOVAL:
A recommended dose of 1½-2
ounces of Potassium Per-manganate
per cubic foot of MTM® or Manganese
Greensand is suggested for
regeneration. Correct water
temperature is important to properly
dissolve Potassium Permanganate. At
50°F (10°C) four ounces of Potassium
Permanganate can dissolve in one
gallon of water. At room temperatures
(72°F - 22°C) eight ounces will
dissolve in one gallon of water.
