bloom 25 GPM - Suction and Discharge Operation; Operating Parameter Ranges

- 17 -
Suction and Discharge Operation
Turn the BLOOM on and observe the suction and discharge locations in the waterbody.
The intake should not create a vortex at the surface. If a vortex is visible, the suction
intake is not properly submerged. Verify that the suction is at least 2 ft beneath the
minimum water level. The bubble pattern visible at the surface of the water above the
discharge should consist primarily of small bubbles, roughly the size of a pea or smaller.
If bubbles are consistently larger than the size of a small pea, contact a Moleaer technical
service representative at (424) 558-3567.
