Inside Tank
Reservoir Size:
2.0 MG, Elevated tank, maximum depth 32 ft ----Blue # 2
SolarBee Installation:
Date: Dec. 2004. One (1) SB1250v12-PW was installed.
Project Objectives:
Stratification creates unequal water age in the tanks, and promotes undesirable nitrification in chloraminated systems. Therefore, objectives were to thoroughly mix the water in the tanks to eliminate stratification, short-circuiting and stagnant water conditions, and to provide a uniform 2-3 day water age.
Project Results:
Testing by the City demonstrated the SolarBee’s ability to quickly destratify and completely mix water in the tank. Of the various options considered by the City, some costing over 2 million dollars, none worked as well as the SolarBee. Based on the performance of the unit tested and comparing the SolarBee performance results to the other types of equipment tried in the past, The City purchased 33+ more units in 2005 and 2006.
