Products, Sizing and Models
To select a specific model, determine the peak daily volume of FAC in pounds per day (PPD) used at your facility. Take the short quiz below if you don't know whether to use MIOX or Hypochlorite.
Small Systems:
SAL 40, 80, Dual 80 (MIOX)
< 20 PPD
(9 kg/day)
HYPO 10, 20, 40
< 40 PPD
(18 kg/day)
Medium Systems:
RIO M1, M2, M3, M4, M5
60 to 300 PPD
(27 to 136 kg/day)
RIO H1, H2, H3, H4, H5
100 to 500 PPD
(45 to 227 kg/day)
Large Systems:
MIOX 250N, 500N
250 to > 500 PPD
(113 to 225 kg/day)
HYPO 400N, 800N
400 to > 800 PPD
(181.4 to 362.9 kg/day)
Sizing & Models
On-site generators are sized based on requirements for pounds per day (PPD) of free available chlorine (FAC). On-site generators are steady state systems that will produce the rated capacity of the system, but they do not have peaking capability, so it is essential to know the peak demand requirements for your water system. Reporting gallons of water treated is not sufficient, since water quality can vary significantly, impacting chlorine demand.
Note that a need for redundant systems may impact your selection. For more precise sizing, please contact our sales team.
Mixed Oxidants or Hypochlorite?
To select between MIOX mixed-oxidant or hypochlorite generators, ask yourself the following:
Do I have issues with any of the following items?

If you answered "Yes" to any of the issues, you should consider a Mixed Oxidants system.
If you answered "No," and all you want is a safer method of generating a chlorine residual, a hypochlorite generator is the system for you.
