FlexFlo A-100NA 114N 115V -6T 1 MIN

The Blue-White Industries FlexFlo A-100NA (Model A-100NA-114N / A-100N Series) with -6T Flex-A-Prene Tubing and 1-Minute Cycle Timer is a commercial-grade, self-priming peristaltic metering pump engineered for precise chemical dosing in aquatic automation, industrial wastewater, and municipal treatment systems.

Equipped with an integrated electronic 1-minute repeating duty-cycle timer, this model cycles on/off over a continuous 60-second time base to regulate delivery of aggressive water treatment chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite (12.5% to 15%), muriatic acid (31.45%), and liquid polyaluminum chloride (PAC) coagulants.

Nomenclature & Model Decoding

• FlexFlo A-100NA: Blue-White peristaltic metering pump platform with analog electronic cycle control.

• 114N: Product configuration code:

  • 11: 115V AC / 60 Hz electrical service (standard 3-prong NEMA 5-15 power cord).

  • 4: High-output gear-motor drive configuration.

  • N: Standard non-programmable analog electronic control module.

• -6T: #6T Flex-A-Prene (Santoprene-grade) peristaltic pump tube assembly with 3/8" OD compression fittings.

• 1 MIN (1-Minute Cycle Timer): Internal solid-state percentage timer with a total cycle window of 60 seconds (variable on-time from approx. 1 second to 60 seconds per minute).

Mechanical Architecture & Operational Dynamics

• Solid-State 1-Minute Cycle Timer: Features an analog potentiometer dial indexed from 1% to 100%. Over every 60-second interval, the internal timer powers the motor for the selected percentage of time and turns it off for the remainder (e.g., at a 50% setting, the pump runs for 30 seconds and rests for 30 seconds). This eliminates chemical overdosing during low-demand periods while providing smooth, predictable chemical dispersion.

• Off-Gas & Vapor Lock Immunity: The peristaltic continuous-pinch design moves trapped air and off-gassing oxygen bubbles ($O_2$ from bleach) or fuming hydrochloric acid vapors directly through the discharge tubing without air-binding or losing prime.

• Self-Priming & Positive Anti-Siphon Barrier: Produces a suction lift of up to 30 vertical feet of water. The planetary rollers maintain positive mechanical compression against the tube track at all times, preventing back-siphoning into chemical storage tanks or suction lines without requiring external spring-loaded check valves.

• Chemical Containment: Liquid makes contact only with the inner bore of the #6T Flex-A-Prene tube, polyethylene transfer lines, and the injection check valve quill, keeping corrosive chemicals completely separated from internal drive gears and motor bearings.

Technical Specifications

• Max Output Capacity: Up to 54.0 GPD (approx. 2.25 GPH / 142 mL/min / 204 L/day) at maximum run time (100% dial setting).

• Turndown Range: 0.5 to 54.0 GPD (1% to 100% duty cycle via 1-minute repeating timer).

• Maximum Discharge Backpressure: 65 PSI (approx. 4.48 bar).

• Electrical Service: 115V AC, 60 Hz, single phase, 0.5 A max current draw.

• Pump Head Tube: #6T Flex-A-Prene Tube Assembly with quick-disconnect compression ferrules.

• Suction / Discharge Connections: 3/8" OD UV-resistant white opaque or clear braided polyethylene tubing.

• Duty Cycle: Intermittent duty-cycle rated; fully compatible with external dry-contact or powered relay triggers from Pool Link 500/1000 Series chemical controllers.

• Ambient Operating Limits: 14°F to 115°F (-10°C to 46°C); process liquid temperature up to 130°F (54°C).

Maintenance & Consumables

• Tube Replacement Interval: Replace the #6T Flex-A-Prene tube every 500 to 1,500 run hours (or seasonally every 6 months under continuous commercial pool operation).

• Roller Assembly Lubrication: Clean roller paths and apply silicone grease or manufacturer-approved synthetic lubricant during every tube change to prevent tube friction and jacket scuffing.

• Injection Fitting Inspection: Inspect the injection quill duckbill check valve every 3 to 6 months for mineral encrustation, calcium carbonate scale, or chemical crystallization.

Weight and Logistics Profile

• Net Unit Weight: Approximately 8.2 to 9.2 pounds (approx. 3.72 to 4.17 kg).

• Physical Footprint: Approximately 10.5" L × 6.5" W × 7.0" H (approx. 26.7 cm × 16.5 cm × 17.8 cm).

• Packaged Shipping Dimensions: Parcel carton measuring approximately 14" L × 10" W × 10" H.

• Packaged Shipping Weight: Approximately 11.2 to 12.2 pounds (approx. 5.08 to 5.53 kg), including:

  • 20-foot coil of 3/8" OD polyethylene tubing.

  • Weighted ceramic suction foot strainer.

  • 1/2" NPT male injection fitting with integral check valve.

  • Mounting bracket and replacement tube clamp hardware.

• Logistics Handling: Ships via standard parcel ground/air freight (UPS, FedEx, USPS).
