Float Assembly
- The float assembly connects to
the core unit in one location. There is no adjustment
necessary for setting the dish depth.
The float assembly is bolted to the core unit of
the SolarBee to allow the distributor dish lip to be
automatically set to the correct depth below the surface
of the water. The depth may vary depending on hose
length being supported by the machine and the amount
of hose resting on the bottom of the reservoir due to
fluctuations of the water.
Each float arm is connected to the central machine
structure with 1 bolt. Each float is connected to the
float arm by one float pin. Each float assembly is
constructed of the molded float and float arm. The
end of the float arm contacts the core unit frame when
the float is extended into place by means of boyancy
pressure when deployed into the water.
If the machine is resting in the bottom of an empty
tank, the SolarBee will be supported against the floats
resting on the floor of the tank. Once water is brought
back into the tank, the machine will self deploy and
begin to float.
