Hose Strainer Depth Setting
The hose strainer depth is either set by a buoyant
float inside the strainer or chained up at a specific
depth. If the hose strainer is not tied up using
the attached chain, the water will enter the hose
approximately 1.5 to 2 feet (0.45 m to 0.6 m)
above solid bottom of the pond. In some cases,
the hose strainer depth will need to be chained up
to a higher level in the water.
Hose Strainer Depth Adjustment
TOOLS RECOMMENDED:
Tape Measure
STEP 1:
Determine the new hose strainer setting
after consulting with a SolarBee service team
member.
STEP 2:
Use the tape measure to determine how
deep the pond at the SolarBee unit.
STEP 3:
Locate the white float ball that is on one
of the floats. This float ball marks the chain that is
attached to the submerged hose strainer.
STEP 4:
If the strainer is suspended by the
buoyant float and not tied up by the chain, the
strainer is approximately 1.5 to 2 feet (0.45 m
to 0.6 m) above the solid bottom. If the strainer
is tied up, let it loose so it is suspended by the
buoyant float. Use the depth measurement made
in Step 2 to determing how deep the strainer is.
STEP 5:
Lift the chain up until the strainer is at the
desired setting and tie off to the float plate.
