MIXING AND FLUSHING UNIT
Eliminates Manual Cleanup

Designated as the Flygt Hydroejector, this mixing and flushing unit is made for cleaning retention basins. It acts as a mixer when water levels are high, keeping solids in suspension so they can be readily pumped away. When basin water levels are low, the hydroejector automatically becomes a flushing device, with water discharged through the ejector pipe in a powerful jet that removes organic matter from the basin floor and walls. The ejector pipe is designed with a large-diameter nozzle to ensure clog-free operation. ITT Flygt Corp.; 203/380-4700; www.ittflygt.com
