SolarBee Solar-Powered Reservoir Circulators
Potable/Finished
Water
Stagnation
in Potable Water Storage Reservoirs Can Cause:
- Loss
of residual chlorine leading to excess chlorine usage and disinfection
by-products.
- Thermal
stratification, which reduces the mixing effect of normal inflow
and outflow.
- Nitrification
associated with chloramine.
- Excessive
ice buildup in cold climates.
