Active mixing in water storage tanks ensures uniform distribution of disinfectants and prevents stagnant water areas.  Well-mixed tanks consume fewer disinfectant chemicals, produce fewer disinfection by-products, and eliminate the need for energy-intensive and costly deep-cycling or flushing.  

Potable Water Tanks    

 

SolarBee's line of solar-powered mixers completely mix all shapes and sizes of tanks from corner to corner, including the boundary layers where bacteria can build up. Each potable mixer comes complete with chemical injection capability, and we offer a convenient chlorine boosting system accessory, should disinfectant boosting be desired at the tank.  Our collapsible units are designed to install in less than a day, through a hatch as small as 18", without costly infrastructure changes and without taking the tank out of service.

Benefits of SolarBee's Thorough Mixing:

  • Ensure uniform distribution of disinfectant
  • Provide uniform water age
  • Produce fewer disinfectant byproducts
  • Prevent stagnation, thermal stratification and short circuiting
  • Reduce nitrification with thorough boundary-layer mixing
  • Eliminate the need for energy-intensive deep tank cycling
  • Reduce high heterotrophic plate counts
  • Reduce excessive ice buildup in cold climates
