Distributor Dish / Hose / Intake Plate
The distributor dish, structural members,
structural fasteners, and mounting brackets are
constructed of stainless steel.
Distributor Dish
- Near-laminar flow is
achieved by the SolarBee due to its uniquely
designed distributor dish. The impeller
rotates while sitting within the lower half of the
distributor dish. There are also small water
passages located below the dish to strengthen
the induced flow effect (water movement
occuring between the lower water layer
entering the machine and the upper water layer
leaving the dish).
The top lip of the distributor dish is set
approximately 2- inch to 2.5-inch (5.1cm to
6.4cm) below the surface of the water to
achieve best flow results. The distributor dish
depth is set by rotating the turnbuckles located
on the float arms.
Hose / Intake Plate
- On the SB10000DM ,
the intake plate is directly below the distributor
dish and the hose extends down through the
intake plate. The Dual Mix design allows the
SolarBee to draw water from different depths.
Most of the water drawn into the SolarBee
enters above the intake plate. A small amount
of water is also drawn into the hose through the
strainer. The majority flow through the intake
plate circulates the top water column while the
smaller amount of flow through the hose slowly
processes the lower water column.
