Reservoir Size:
One tank has a capacity of 1.5 MG, with a maximum depth of 29 ft and an average depth of 24 ft when containing 1.1 MG. Average flow is about 0.5 MG per day. The second tank has a 5 MG capacity with averages depth of 32 ft with 4.8MG and 28 ft with 4.2MG. Average flow is about 1.2 MG per day.
SolarBee Installation:
Date: Dec 2004: Two (2) SolarBee SB1250v12-PW units were installed, one in each tank. Each unit was placed just off center of the tanks, favoring the hatch side.
Project Objectives:
Objectives were to thoroughly mix the water to prevent stratification, to maintain uniform water age, and to maintain chlorine residual.
Project Results:
Results show that the SolarBees prevent thermal stratification and maintain uniform water age in the tanks. Due to the realized benefits achieved with the first two units, The Water District has purchased additional units for other tanks in their system.
