Eco Factor: Water mixer eliminates stagnation utilizing solar power.
With potable water sources already declining at a fast rate, manufacturers are developing products that betters the quality of the already scarce resource. Earlier this year we showcased the SolarBee water circulator that helps improve the quality of water in lakes and other potable water sources. The product was great apart from the fact that it could not be used in places where the amount of water that needs to be circulated is less.
The company has tried to solve the problem in a new variant, dubbed the SolarBee SB400 potable water tank mixer. Similar to its predecessor, this new system utilizes the company’s Long-Distance Circulation technology that helps eliminate thermal stratification and stagnation in potable water.
The system is designed to completely mix small potable water tanks, which providing up to 40% first-cost savings over other mixers. To ease installation, the unit is collapsible and fits through an 18-inch hatch. The solar-powered floating mixer operates day and night by harnessing solar energy during the day and storing it in on-board battery packs to power the system after sunset.
The SB400 mixer creates a near-laminar flow that keeps the tank de-stratified, provides uniform water age, and allows accurate management of residual chlorine levels to reduce nitrification.
