A three-point mooring system is recommended. Arrows illustrate the direction of water current. (The use of a boat may be required)
(Sub-Triton Aspirator) Moor & Secure into Place
Although mounted on the pond bottom, these units should be moored to secure placement. A three-point mooring system is recommended when places in moving water. Arrows illustrate the direction of water current (the use of a boat may be required).
