SolarBee and H2O Logics have begun to install their water circulation devices in the valleys reservoir. The new devices were purchased by the town to help improve the quality of water entering the towns water plant.

SolarBees are designed to circulate water and control the growth of blue and green algae. The state of the art machines are programed to run at different speeds, adjusting to the time of day or season.

The magnetic motors for the water circulation devices are powered by solar panels, requiring no outside power source, and helping keep costs low.

Installation and Delivery Crew Chief Mike Boersma says these devices have been installed all over Canada, and have an excellent track record for improving water quality.

The on board computer system can even be upgraded if the town chooses to, allowing them to communicate with the water plant through SCADA technology, so employee’s can monitor the SolarBees without leaving the office.

(The settling ponds will no recieve more oxygen in the water thanks to SolarBee.)

(Town employees received an on site course on operating the SolarBees.)

(Ready for action.)
