Yes, it absolutely can. Take the guesswork and manual effort out of pool maintenance so you can enjoy your pool more and worry less.
Total control over how much chlorine goes into your pool, and when
A MixRite chemical dosing pump is one of the smartest ways to keep your pool water clean, safe, and crystal clear. Unlike manual dosing or floating dispensers, a dosing pump gives you a precise, automated way to add chlorine or other pool chemicals to your swimming pool.
At MixRite, we offer a range of hydraulic and electric dosing pumps suited to swimming pool applications. Whether you’re a homeowner, property manager, or pool technician, our pumps can help you keep pool water clean, safe, and balanced.
Why automatic dosing makes sense for pool maintenance
Manually dosing your pool with chlorine or acid can be time-consuming and inconsistent. An automatic chemical dosing pump offers:
- Consistency: The correct chlorine level is maintained – no spikes or dips.
- Efficiency: Less chemical wastage because doses are precise.
- Safety: Reduces the chance of over-chlorinating the water.
- Automation: Once set up, the pump does the work for you with little ongoing maintenance.
What is a chemical dosing pump?
A chemical dosing pump is small, accurate and injects a chemical, such as liquid chlorine, into a water line at a controlled rate.
In swimming pools, the right amount of chemical is added gradually and evenly.
A MixRite pump is durable enough to handle both chlorine and pH-adjusting chemicals.
Which type of dosing pump is best for your pool?
All MixRite pumps, hydraulic or electric, are proportional dosing pumps, so they inject a precise amount of chemical into your pool water in proportion to the flow.
Hydraulic dosing pumps
Hydraulic dosing pumps like the MixRite TF10 and TF25 are powered by the movement of water. These dosing pumps are great for most private and commercial pools with consistent water flow: swimming pools that use a pump and filter to circulate water constantly.
How dosing pumps work in pools
- The pump is installed in the pool’s water circulation system, typically after the filter and before the water returns to the pool.
- As water flows through the system, the pump automatically draws chlorine concentrate from a connected container.
- The pump then injects the chlorine at a set ratio. For example, 0.5% or 1%, depending on pool size and need.
- The chlorine mixes evenly with the pool water, providing constant sanitation.
Electric dosing pumps
If you’re running a motel pool, school facility, or automated home pool system, the E-300 gives you advanced control and consistency.
The MixRite E-300 is better suited for more complex or high-demand pool systems. It can operate independently of water flow, so offers greater precision and flexibility.
How to choose the right MixRite pump for your pool
Before you select a pump, consider the following:
- Pool’s flow rate: Check the flow rate of your pool pump system.
- Dosing ratio: All MixRite pumps offer adjustable dosing rates.
- Power availability: Go hydraulic (TF10/TF25) for a non-powered solution.
- Automation level: Go electric (E-300) if you want advanced control or system integration.

Frequently asked questions about dosing pumps for pools
Can I use a MixRite dosing pump for a home swimming pool?
Yes. MixRite hydraulic dosing pumps, such as the TF10 and TF25, are well-suited to home swimming pools with a circulation pump running continuously. The dosing pump installs inline on the return line and automatically doses chlorine or other pool chemicals in proportion to water flow, keeping your pool consistently treated without manual measuring or guesswork.
What chemicals can a dosing pump add to a pool?
MixRite pumps are compatible with liquid chlorine and pH-adjusting chemicals. The pump is built to handle the chemical resistance requirements of pool treatment over long periods. Always check the specific additive compatibility with your chosen pump model – contact us if you are unsure.
Do I need an electrician to install a pool dosing pump?
Hydraulic MixRite models are powered by the water flow and need no electrical connection at the pump itself. Installation is typically a DIY job for someone comfortable with basic plumbing – the pump connects inline on the water line returning from your filter. Electric models require a power connection and may benefit from an installer, depending on your setup.
How often does a pool dosing pump need servicing?
MixRite pumps are designed for low maintenance. A basic service kit is included with each pump, allowing most maintenance to be done on-site without specialist help. Typical service intervals depend on usage and the chemicals being dosed – refer to the product manual or contact us for guidance specific to your application.
