INSTALLATION
Due to the unique design of the OrbSolar and need to strategically position and tether the units within the water body, Protex Water usually installs your OrbSolar Mixers for you. The installation cost is itemised in your product quotation. Should you wish to install your own unit or move an existing unit, please talk to your Protex Water representative.
Commissioning
All OrbSolar Mixers are pre-commissioned prior to dispatch from your factory, so no on-site commissioning is required.
MAINTENANCE
Maintenance is relatively straight forward with the OrbSolar Mixer, with few moving parts and with solar power operation, the unit can operate for long periods with any maintenance. Periodical maintenance is required however to clean the solar array and remove debris from the platform, water outlet dish and impeller. Other maintenance recommendations can be accessed in the User Manual.
