Subject to change without notice.
Drive System
-
High torque, direct drive (no gearbox), low voltage
brushless D.C. motor.
Minimum Operating Depth
-
31 inches (0.8 m) with fixed
horizontal plate. No damage to machine or bottom of reservoir when
run dry in shallow water.
Fluid Intake Assembly - Option 1 -
Intake hose assembly bolted to bottom of structural assembly.
Intake Type:
Fixed horizontal plate with 12-inch (31 cm) openings.
Intake Depth Adjustment:
Can vary from 0 to 60 feet (0 to 18 m). No depth adjustment necessary for fluctuations in

Direct Flow Rate:
700 gallons per minute (2,650 liters per minute).
Induced Flow Rate:
4,300 gallons per minute (16,300 liters per minute).
Combined Flow Rate:
5,000 gallons per minute (18,950 liters per minute).
Machine Size / Weight -
Assembled machine is 16 feet (5 m)
in diameter and weighs 850 pounds (380 kg).
Flotation System
-
Three floats in triangular pattern each with an
adjustable float arm for proper vertical positioning, total float
buoyancy of 1,450 lbs (660 kg).
Shipping Size / Weight -
• Crate -
87 inch W X 87 inch L X 65 inch H (2.2 m x 2.2 m x 1.7 m) / 1,500 pounds (680 kg)
Exact weight and dimensions varies dependent on machine configuration.
