SOLAR BEE CIRCULATION PUMP

The City of Anaheim is currently testing the Solar Bee, a solar powered water pump that circulates water and prevents algae build up at Anaheim’s Walnut Canyon Reservoir.

The Solar Bee:
•Completely mixes all sizes of tanks / reservoirs corner to corner
•Provides uniform water age and impacts the complete boundary layer
•Prevents stagnation, thermal stratification, and short circuiting
•Self-adjusts for varying water levels
•Provides an efficient system to boost or breakpoint chlorinate
•Reduces nitrification and loss of residual chlorine or chloramine
•Reduces high heterotrophic plate counts
•Reduces excessive ice buildup in cold climates
•Fits through hatches as small as 24" in diameter
•Requires minimal if any infrastructure changes (solar-powered)
•SCADA outputs for monitoring
•Operates day and night on solar power
•Uses a high-end motor and control system with a 25 year expected life
