Suspended Configuration
The suspended configuration is primarily used
on tanks without a flat bottom. This method of
installation is different with aluminum roofs or
geodesic domed roofs.
Installation Procedures
Step 1:
Attach the retrieval chain to the GS mixer at the
pre-located quick link. Tighten the quick link with
a wrench/pliers. Plan out a safe procedure and
hoist the GS Mixer to the top of the tank near the
hatch opening. Use the chain and submersible
cable attached to the GS Mixer for lifting and
supporting the weight. Keep clear of chain and
electric cord to avoid entanglement.
Step 2:
Tie off the tail end of the retrieval chain and
electric cord strain relief to the quick link at the
bottom of the tank penetration fitting.
Step 4:
Pull the retrieval chain up until it is taught, then
mark off the desired distance the GS Mixer is to
be suspended above the floor, placing the quick
link that desired distance down the retrieval
chain below the tank penetration fitting.
Step 5:
Slowly pull up the GS Mixer and connect the
quick link to the tank penetration fitting.
IMPORTANT
It is important to disinfect all components in
contact with potable water. A common practice is to
use a minimum 200ppm chlorine or alternate dis-
infectant solution in water to spray all components
that will contact the drinking water. There may be
additional decontamination procedures required,
so it is important to understand what procedures
are acceptable. Decontamination should be per-
formed right before the unit is lowered through the
hatch. The mixer should be immersed in water
shortly after having been decontaminated to pre-
vent corrosion caused by contact with chlorine or
alternate disinfectant.
