Note: Maximum pressure rating varies by model and tube size. While select Chem-Tech XP models support pressures up to 125 PSI, larger tube sizes are rated for lower maximum pressures. Always verify tubing selection and system pressure requirements before ordering.
Series XP Configurations & Control Options
The Chem-Tech Series XP high-pressure peristaltic pumps are available in multiple configurations to match specific system and control requirements.
Fixed-Rate Models
Fixed-rate XP pumps operate in a simple on/off mode and are ideal for applications requiring constant chemical feed without adjustment. These models are economical and easy to install.
Adjustable Models (20:1 Turndown)
Adjustable XP models use an electronic timer-based control that provides a 20:1 turndown ratio. This allows operators to fine-tune feed rates without relying on mechanical adjustment components that wear over time.
Pulse Input Models
Pulse input models accept signals from a contacting head water meter. Run time per pulse is adjustable, making these pumps suitable for flow-proportional chemical dosing.
Flow Switch Activated Models
Flow switch models activate chemical injection when flow through the included ¾" NPT flow switch reaches 1 GPM and stop dosing when flow drops below that threshold.
Dry Contact Input Models
Dry contact models allow an external switch or control system controlled the pump, activating when the contact closes and stopping when it opens.
Timer Models
Timer models include a 7-day, 8-event electronic timer, supporting time-based dosing schedules independent of flow.
Duplex Head Models
Duplex XP pumps feature two pump heads, allowing either double the flow rate or simultaneous dosing of two different chemicals from a single pump platform.
Tubing Options & Pressure Capability
Tubing selection is critical to the performance of a Chem-Tech XP high-pressure peristaltic metering pump.
Low-Pressure Norprene Tubing
Low-pressure Norprene tubing is designed for extended tube life in applications with lower system pressure.
High-Pressure Norprene Tubing
High-pressure Norprene tubing enables operation in demanding applications with discharge pressures up to 125 PSI (8.6 bar), depending on tube size and model.
Fluran Tubing
Fluran tubing offers increased chemical resistance for specific applications. Chemical compatibility should be verified before use.

Choosing Between High-Pressure and Low-Pressure XP Pumps
High-pressure Chem-Tech XP peristaltic pumps are required when system pressure exceeds the limits of standard tubing or when injection points experience significant backpressure.
Low-pressure XP configurations are suitable for applications where extended tubing life is preferred, and discharge pressure remains within lower operating ranges.
Correct tubing selection is essential for safe and reliable operation.

Frequently Asked Questions
How does the Chem-Tech Series XP high-pressure peristaltic pump work?
Chem-Tech Series XP high-pressure pumps use peristaltic pumping technology, where a rotating roller assembly compresses flexible tubing to move chemical through the pump. Because only the tubing contacts the chemical, internal valves, seals, and diaphragms are eliminated, reducing wear and simplifying maintenance. This design allows the pump to handle liquid and entrained gas, maintain prime under challenging suction conditions, and prevent backflow without additional valves.
What is included with the Chem-Tech XP high-pressure peristaltic pump?
Chem-Tech XP high-pressure peristaltic chemical metering pumps ship ready to install and include a suction strainer, injection check valve assembly, 10 feet of 1/4" LLDPE tubing, and a high-pressure Norprene peristaltic tube with 1/4" connectors. These components support reliable operation in pressurized chemical feed applications.
Does the Chem-Tech XP high-pressure pump require peristaltic pump grease?
Yes. Peristaltic pump grease is recommended to lubricate the rotor assembly at least once per year for residential service and more frequently in continuous-duty or high-use applications. Proper lubrication helps extend component life and maintain smooth pump operation. Grease is sold separately.
Can the Chem-Tech XP handle off-gassing chemicals like sodium hypochlorite?
Yes. The Chem-Tech XP high-pressure peristaltic pump is well suited for off-gassing chemicals such as sodium hypochlorite. Its peristaltic design allows it to pump liquid and entrained gas without vapor lock, helping maintain consistent dosing in water treatment applications.
What is Chem-Tech known for in chemical metering applications?
Chem-Tech is known for manufacturing reliable chemical metering pumps and feed equipment used in water treatment and industrial applications. Their products are widely recognized for durability, consistent performance, and straightforward mechanical design.
