In many cases, mixer deployment just below the main access hatch is sufficient. However, consider the
below recommendations, where practical, for guidelines of mixer placement.
Short circuit path:
Ideally, the mixer should be placed in the short circuit path between the
inlet and outlet of the tank. This provides the mixer the best opportunity
to blend all incoming water with the tank volume prior to water exiting
the outlet.
Common Inlet / Outlet:
The mixer should be favored toward a common inlet / outlet pipe to
prevent short circuiting. This provides the mixer the best opportunity to
blend all incoming water with the tank volume prior to water exiting the
tank. However, the mixer should stay clear at least 10-15ft away from a
common inlet/outlet pipe.
Radial Orientation:
It is best to orientate the mixer so the discharge slots are radial with the
tank. This is most critical if the mixer is placed near a sidewall of the tank.
Center Tank Placement:
A mixer is often positioned at the tank center when a separate inlet and
outlet are positioned at or approximately 180° apart. It is most critical for
the mixer to be along a short circuit path.
Mixer Elevation:
The mixer should be located in the lowest
elevation of the tank, and resting or
supported in a horizontal position with
discharge slots pointed vertical. Water
below the mixer will not be circulated.
