Typical
Applications
Large- and medium-sized installations of Aquafix include
storage silos, which are filled by blowing-in lime pellets
delivered in bulk, as shown below.
Aquafix installations vary from "turn-key" arrangements
(where all materials and labor are provided by
Aquafix) to installations where the buyer does the
installation himself and supplies some of the components,
such as the silo.
Highly recommended is the insulated Aquafix steel shed,
which protects the operating mechanism during
cold weather, and from vandalism. Some installations
have both the water supply (used to drive the water
wheel) and the stream to be treated confined to
underground piping to further restrict vandalism and
assure better operation in cold temperatures.
Aquafix units require no electricity, and once treatment
flow is properly regulated, require minimal attention
and effort—personnel often are able to limit
their visits to the site to once a week or less. Aquafix
keeps on working 24/7 to assure the best,
most consistent water treatment possible.
The
only difference between various
Aquafix units relates
to
the size of the lime pebble storage unit, and the volume
of water to be treated. All units work on the same
simple water-wheel principle.
The
Aquafix treatment unit, shown to the right, is protected
from the weather
and from vandalism by the steel building underneath the
silo of this 35-ton unit. Prefabricated
parts make installation quick and easy.
Water
channels and piping, as well as a concrete pad to specifications
all should be in place before the unit is installed. Crews
arrive with all necessary materials, and leave with the
unit in place and fully operational!
