Hose Strainer Depth Setting
The hose strainer depth is either set by a buoyant
float inside the strainer or chained up at a specific
depth. If the hose strainer is not tied up using
the attached chain, the water will enter the hose
approximately 1.5 to 2 feet (0.45m to 0.6m) above
solid bottom of the pond. In some cases, the hose
strainer depth will need to be chained up to a
higher level in the water.
Hose Strainer Depth Adjustment
TOOLS RECOMMENDED:
Tape Measure
STEP 1:
Determine the new hose strainer setting
after consulting with a Ixom Watercare, Inc.
service team member.
STEP 2:
Use the tape measure to determine how
deep the pond at the Mixer.
STEP 3:
Locate the white float ball that is on one
of the floats. This float ball marks the chain that is
attached to the submerged hose strainer.
STEP 4:
If the strainer is suspended by the
buoyant float and not tied up by the chain, the
strainer is approximately 1.5 to 2 feet (0.45m
to 0.6m) above the solid bottom. If the strainer
is tied up, let it loose so it is suspended by the
buoyant float. Use the depth measurement made
in Step 2 to determing how deep the strainer is.
STEP 5:
Lift the chain up until the strainer is at the
desired setting and tie off to the float plate.
