SolarBee Solar-powered and GridBee Grid-connected Circulators
In thermally stratified reservoirs, lakes, and ponds, the thermocline separates the warmer epilimnion from the colder, deeper hypolimnion. SolarBee solar-powered circulators have an adjustable intake hose that creates long-distance circulation either within the epilimnion or down into the hypolimnion, depending on lake management objectives.
Benefits of SolarBee Epilimnetic Circulation:
- Prevent and control harmful cyanobacteria (blue-green algae) blooms
- Reduce taste and odor problems in drinking water
- Reduce public health issues associated with cyanotoxins
- Reduce invasive aquatic weed growth
- Reduce filamentous algae growth
- Improve fish habitats
- Improve water quality
- Improve aesthetics
- Improve dissolved oxygen (DO) and pH levels
Benefits of SolarBee Hypolimnetic Circulation:
Other Benefits Associated with SolarBee Circulation:
SolarBee solar-powered circulators can impact up to 35 acres (14 hectares) per unit, require minimal maintenance and no infrastructure, have a 25+ year functional life, and can operate both day and night using only solar energy. Energy-saving rebates may be available for displacing grid-power aeration or mixing.
GridBee pond circulators are grid-connected, submersible circulators designed for park and golf course ponds of up to three surface acres. GridBee pond circulators work beneath the surface to provide epiilmnetic circulation and eliminate stagnant water zones. Reducing stagnation minimizes problems of blue-green algae blooms and related odors and toxicity, improves dissolved oxygen, pH, and fish habitat.
