How is mixer operation affected when water level declines? Is there a minimum water level?
The mixer and tripod are approximately 4 feet tall. For the mixer to work most effectively there must be a minimum of 8 feet of water in the tank, to cover the impeller and allow the mixer to set up a toroidal flow structure and break established thermoclines. At levels less than 8 feet, localized mixing continues but the capability to circulate larger volumes is limited. The mixer must be turned off if water levels fall below 4 feet. The tank can be completely drained at any time — the PAX tripod design remains stable and will not damage the tank interior.
