Technology Description- 

GridBee

®

 

air powered circulation equipment are made of corrosion resistant, 316 stainless 

steel with a durable clog-free design and no moving parts for low maintenance.  The AP7000 and AP8000 can be used in 

various applications.

Figure 1:

 AP7000 & AP8000

Minimum Water Depth

 - Machine requires 48 inches 

(1.22M) of water to effectively circulate. No damage to

machine when run dry in shallow water or drained condition.

Materials of Construction

 - T316 stainless steel frame and 

hardware. EPDM and PVC air hose and polypropylene air 

hose fittings.  (See Figure 1)

10 ft (15.24 m) T316 stainless steel retrieval chain included 

for machine retrieval.

Intake -

 The submergence depth on a pedestal unit is simply set by either the floor it rests on or for a suspended unit by 

the vertical suspending cable or chain.

Floatation Accessory

 - Floating option available, float balls 

and short chain included to allow for adjustable intake depth 

with respect to water surface.

Maintenance / Warranty- 

 Limited maintenance. Limited manufacture’s warranty.  See Warranty Statement for details.

Enclosed Area Warning - 

Air powered mixers should not be 

used in enclosed areas where methane or other explosive 

gases could build up.  Some gases can explode when

combined with air.  Please verify that you have proper

ventilation to prevent a buildup of methane gas or other gases 

in the headspace above the explosion limit.

Recommended Air Flow - 

8 to 64 standard cubic feet per 

minute (0.23 to 1.8 standard cubic meters per minute) @ 

1psi (7.0 kiloPascal) + head pressure of water height above 

intake plate level. 1.5” MNPT air connection point.

Comparison -

  AP7000 intake plate is solid, while the 

AP8000 has an 18” hole in the center of the intake plate

for drawing water from below the intake level. (See Figure 2)
