Mixing Does Wonders -BT, Iowa

"Since its installation, this mixer has done wonders to help maintain a consistent chlorine residual with-in this 7 million gallon reservoir. Design of this reservoir was such that the inlet/outlet shared a common entry and exit point that left undesirable low residual counts in many areas of the reservoir. The SB5000 has greatly increased the mixing action within the reservoir and now consistent chlorine residuals can be obtained through out testing areas all around. Since its install, very little maintenance was needed and this unit has worked almost flawlessly."
