Materials of Construction - T316 stainless steel frame and hardware. EPDM and PVC air hose and polypropylene air hose fittings. (See Figure 1)
10 ft (15.24 m) T316 stainless steel retrieval chain included for machine retrieval.
Recommended Air Flow - 3 to15 standard cubic feet per minute (0.08 to 0.42 standard cubic metersper minute) @ 1psi (7.0 kiloPascal) + head pressure of water height above intake plate level. 1” MNPT air connection point.
Minimum Water Depth - Machine requires 24 inches (.61M) of water to effectively circulate. No damage to machine when run dry in shallow water or drained condition.
Maximum Water Depth - Maximum air discharge depth is limited by the air supply pressure available.
Intake - The submergence depth on a pedestal unit is simply set by either the floor it rests on or for a suspended unit by the vertical suspending cable or chain.
Floatation Accessory - Floating option available, float balls and short chain included to allow for adjustable intake depth with respect to water surface.
(Optional Accessory) AU-200- 1/2 HP (375 watt) rated air pump unit capable of producing 6.0 standard cubic feet per minute (0.17 standard cubic meters per minute) @ 4.0 psi (27.6 kiloPascal). 100% duty-cycle.
