Section 5: Using Accessories
Accessories are optional. Not supplied with the bucket.
PowerFill
PowerFill is a system which allows partial or complete bucket fills from a range of previously inaccessible
water sources as shallow as 18” (0.46 m). This includes streams, ponds, and low profile dip tanks. It is
available as an externally mounted pump in bucket models 1821 – 3542 and as internally mounted pumps
in bucket models 4453 – HL9800.
PowerFill Snorkel
The PowerFill Snorkel is an externally mounted pump
consisting of a flange assembly and a pump assembly. The
flange assembly is permanently installed into the bucket and
includes a flapper check valve to prevent water from flowing
back through the pump when the pump is not running. Flanges
can be installed on several buckets to accept the same pump unit.
The pump assembly is connected to the flange assembly with a
camlock fitting which allows the pump to be quickly removed
for ease of transport.
The pump is driven by a 28 VDC electric motor. The motor,
impeller, and housings are contained within a circular steel filter
basket which serves to protect the components from impact
damage while also acting as a debris screen.
PowerFill MAX
PowerFill MAX is a system of pumps mounted on the top plate
of the Bambi MAX valve. It is available for bucket models
4453 – HL9800.
It consists of two or four pumps depending on the model of the
bucket. It can be supplied as original equipment, or it can be
added to an existing valve.
The pumps are driven by 28 VDC electric motors. The water
inlets for the pumps are located on the underside of the top plate.
The inlets have screens to protect the pump impellers from
impact damage while also acting as a debris screen.
A stand-off is installed on the bottom of the bucket to keep the
pumps clear of any rocks and debris found in the water source.
Included is a PowerFill cable sleeve which is anchored to the
top plate of the valve, and the head. The sleeve bundles and
protects the cables while providing strain relief.
