Installation

The Mixer arrives partially assembled and installation can be performed in just a few steps. Installation varies slightly depending on the configuration ordered; floating (Triton Mixer) or submerged (Sub-Triton Mixer).

Install Power Control Center

Power control centre is mounted onshore; a certified electrician is recommended to perform this step.

Lay Power Cable

Bury/trench power in conduit to pond edge, connect plug to unit.

(Triton Mixer) Float System in Water & Moor into Place

A three-point mooring system is recommended. Arrows illustrate the direction of water current. (The use of a boat may be required)

(Sub-Triton Mixer) 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).
