Cheap chemical dosing systems. What you need to know before you buy.

Cheap chemical dosing systems. You get what you pay for.

Everyone has at least one horror story about a time when they cut corners to save on costs.

It could be a budget-priced toaster that burnt out and almost caused a house fire. Or a heavily-discounted motel room which had bedbugs. The adage is often true: you get what you pay for.

While there are some things you can do 'on the cheap' there are others which you certainly shouldn't, such as the installation of your operation's odour control solution.

Cheap chemical dosing systems often feature inferior quality products which lead to significant issues with reliability, operation and performance.

This can mean breakdowns, extended offline periods because of component failure or poor design. As well as the potential for costly fines which can result from ineffective management of odours.

The corners cut to create low cost odour control

Your basic problem with many cheap chemical dosing systems is that in order to make them 'cheap', suppliers regularly cut corners in terms of the quality of components.

This can mean poor:

• Pumps
• Piping
• Valves
• Tank
• Compound
• Control Unit
• Overall Design

For an odour control system to be truly effective, it is essential that these components operate properly. To quote another adage, a chain is only as strong as its weakest link. If any of these three parts fail, then the entire system can cease to function.

Poor quality components are one of the most common causes of system failure. They wear out quicker and are more likely to malfunction. And when they do malfunction they can also damage other nearby parts, causing even larger issues.

Problems which can result from poor odour management

A low cost odour control system which is only partly effective, or only effective some of the time, isn't really effective at all. For a system to be truly effective it needs to function completely and reliably.

Low quality cheap chemical dosing systems often result in:

• Escaping odours
• Complaints from nearby residents
• Pollution to local environments

Another risk is that inferior build quality components may prevent the system from meeting the relevant Australian Standards.

If your operation is audited and found to be non-compliant with Australian Standards, then you could face potential fines or temporary closure of your operation. This can mean real problems for businesses.
