Release Channel / Floats 

 

The GridBee contains 3 release channels and 
3 floats.  The release channels allow vertical 
positioning of the machine and the floats provide 
buoyancy.

Floats

 - The float is made from high density 

Polyethylene.  The floats are filled with a 
Polystyrene closed-cell foam for long term 
buoyancy.  The stainless steel float tube is molded 
into the float.  The float tube connects the float 
to the release channel and release tube.  The 
float is shaped to hug the hose for installation 
purposes allowing the machine to be installed in 
a 24" square hatch.  The floats have a uniquely 
designed shape to:

        •  Minimize space when collapsed around  
 

the hose.

        •  Minimize the interference with the water  
 

flow on the surface coming off the    

 

distributor dish.

Release Tube

 - The release tubes are constructed 

of stainless steel.  They directly connect the floats 
to the central machine structure.
