Problem Solved "We installed a PAX Mixer
in a problematic half
million gallon reservoir
two summers ago.
Since then, we have
seen excellent mixing
throughout the entire
tank and there have
been no indicators of
nitrification.
The PAX Mixer solved
our thermal stratification
problem and continues
to maintain great water
quality."

5 Things Water Operators Should Know about Mixing Tanks

When drinking water becomes stagnant and stratifies—especially in storage tanks exposed to the strong summer sun—water in the upper layers can completely lose its disinfectant residual. This residual is needed to control bacterial re-growth and protect the health of consumers from waterborne illness. For many storage tanks, the solution to maintaining residual is simple: keep the water moving. The PAX Water Mixer is a cost-effective solution for maintaining the highest standards of drinking water in storage reservoirs.
