The GridBee is designed to circulate water by
bringing water from below and sending it out
across the top in a thin layer causing a mixing
effect. The laminar layer ows outward radially, in
diverging “stream lines” from the distribution dish.
As it does, vertical ow is induced in between the
water being drawn below and the water above. At
the level of the ow intake, water is drawn from
all corners of the pond. As this lower layer of uid
makes its way inward with converging streamlines
to the GridBee, the water is forced upward, toward
the surface, providing gentle mixing,
de-stratication, and surface renewal.
The GF series GridBee requires a minimal amount
of AC grid-power. The grid provides power
to the onboard AC:DC power box and motor
controller that drive the brushless motor. The GF
Technology allows the GridBee to operate during
day and night while drawing minimal amount of
power from the grid.
During operation, a visible ow can be observed
coming off the distribution dish and spreading
outward. The motor and impeller is designed to
operate at the same full speed as the
solar-powered SolarBee models.

SCADA outputs oering machine operation parameters
reside within the digital controller. Please contact us if
you are interested in receiving these parameters.
Motor Controller - The motor controller is located near
the motor just below the top plate of the Machine. The
motor controller is sealed in line with the electrical cord
that runs to the brushless motor.
The motor controller on the Machine receives power
and signals from the main control center located inside
the external enlosure. These signals are used to
operate the brushless motor at the commanded speed.
The motor controller also sends feedback signals back
up to the main control center.
Due to the high frequency of communication between
the motor controller and brushless motor, the two
components need to be located close to one another.
This is the primary reason for having the motor
controller located directly on the Machine.
All electronic connections on the Machine equipment
should only be used for the inputs or outputs that they
are labeled and designed for. If any of the leads going
into the electronic controller are disconnected, be
sure when re-connecting to place them in the proper
position.
Wiring - All electric wiring includes corrosion-resistant,
industrial cords with molded, weather and watertight
connectors. The connectors are indexed to prevent
improper wiring. A general electrical schematic can
be found in the Maintenance and Field Adjustment
section.

Brushless Motor / Impeller
Brushless Motor - The brushless motor is located
directly below the Top Deck. 4 bolts run down through
the Top Deck and into the housing of the brushless
motor fastening it onto the machine.
The brushless motor is built to be very durable. The
housing is constructed of casted aluminum. The
brushless motor runs very quietly and smoothly. It
does not require any maintenance. A drive shaft
extends through the bottom center of the housing.
CAUTION: THE BRUSHLESS MOTOR WEIGHS
APPROXIMATELY 80 LBS (36KG). DO NOT
REMOVE WITHOUT DISCUSSING THE
PROCEDURES AND EQUIPMENT NECESSARY
WITH A SERVICE TEAM MEMBER.
Shaft Coupling - The shaft coupling connects the
brushless motor drive shaft to the impeller shaft. The
shaft coupling is located directly below the brushless
motor and is made up of 3 main components. These
components are called the upper coupling, lower
coupling, and coupling sleeve. The shaft coupling is
designed to allow quick disconnect for removal of the
impeller assembly. Disconnecting the impeller shaft
from the brushless motor shaft is simply accomplished
by pulling out a pin and requires no tools. The upper
coupling remains attached to the brushless motor while
the lower coupling and coupling sleeve remain on the
impeller shaft.

Impeller Assembly - The impeller assembly is made
up of the stainless steel impeller shaft, stainless steel
ag indicator, freeze sleeve, stainless steel impeller
blades, and plastic impeller bushing. The impeller
assembly is easily removed by pulling a pin on the
shaft coupling.
CAUTION: KEEP BODY APPENDAGES OR
LOOSE CLOTHING AWAY FROM THE IMPELLER
ASSEMBLY WHILE THE MACHINE IS OPERATING!
IF MAINTENANCE IS REQUIRED, BE SURE TO
TURN THE MACHINE OFF FIRST!
The ag indicator is xed to the shaft and used as a
visual indicator of the impeller shaft's rotational speed.
An food grade oil-lled, Teon freeze sleeve secured
with o-rings surronds the impeller shaft. The freeze
sleeve is free to rotate on the shaft. If the water should
freeze around the machine, the freeze sleeve will stand
still, frozen in by the ice, but inside the plastic sleeve,
the impeller shaft will be turning.
The impeller blades are welded to a hub that is
securely fastened to the impeller shaft. The impeller
is designed to gently pump water from below and can
handle up to 4-inch (10cm) spherical solids.
The impeller bushing is a smooth collar that the
impeller shaft tip ts into. The impeller bushing aligns
and centers the impeller shaft within the machine.

Distributor Dish
The distributor dish, structural members, structural
fasteners, and mounting brackets are constructed
of stainless steel.
Distributor Dish - Near-laminar ow is achieved
by the Machine due to its uniquely designed
distributor dish. The impeller rotates while sitting
within the lower half of the distributor dish. There
are also small water passages located below the
dish to strengthen the induced ow eect (water
movement occuring between the lower water layer
entering the machine and the upper water layer
leaving the dish).
The top lip of the distributor dish is set from 3/4
inch to 2.5 inches (2 cm to 6.4 cm) (Please refer
to the table below for exact settings) below the
surface of the water to achieve best ow results.
The distributor dish depth is set by rotating the
turnbuckles located on the oat arms.

Hose / Strainer - The hose is directly below the distributor dish and the strainer is located at the end of
the hose. The strainer contains a buoyant oat ball inside that allows the strainer to draw water from
approximately 1.5 ft to 2 ft (0.45m to 0.6m) above solid bottom. The hose is designed to make a "J" shaped
bend at the bottom so that the strainer does not draw sediment up from the bottom. The strainer has a chain
connected to it and can be chained up at more shallow depths if necessary. The chain also is used for pulling
up the strainer to check it for plugging.

Float Arms / Floats
The Machine contains 3 oat arms and 3 oats. The oat
arms allow vertical positioning of the machine and the
oats provide buoyancy.
Float Arms - The oat arms are constructed of stainless
steel components. They connect the oats to the
central machine structure. Each oat arm has a sturdy
turnbuckle. The turnbuckles can easily be rotated
to adjust the vertical height of the distributor dish.
Lengthening the turnbuckle (rotating clockwise) will raise
the lip of the distributor dish, whereas shortening the
turnbuckle (rotating counter-clockwise) will cause the lip
of the distributor dish to lower.
The turnbuckle and oat arm structure components are
constructed with robust stainless steel materials allowing
the Machine to operate in severe environments without
being damaged. The turnbuckle is self locking. Simply
rotate the handle to expand or collapse the turnbuckle for
dish depth adjustment.
It is important to check the distributor dish depth routinely.
The Machine naturally drops into the water over time
due to biomass buildup and trapped air escaping from
the hose. If the distributor dish lip is too high, the water
coming o the lip may become turbulent and the ow rate
of the machine may be reduced.

If the distributor dish lip is too low, the water coming
o the lip will ow just underneath the surface of the
pond and the surface will not be renewed.
Each oat arm is connected to the central machine
structure with 1 bolt and 1 pin. Each oat is
connected to the oat arm by 2 pins. The turnbuckle
can be removed from the oat arm by pulling a pin,
but should only be done when the unit is resting on
the shore.
If re-attaching the turnbuckle to the oat arm, be sure
that each threaded end of the turnbuckle together are
screwed all the way in or all the way out before re-
attaching. If threaded ends are not equally expanded
or collapsed before xing the ends, the turnbuckle will
have limited adjustment.
Floats - The Machine has 3 oats, made from high
density Polyethylene. The oats are lled with a
Polystyrene closed-cell foam for long term buoyancy.
The oats have a uniquely designed shape to:
• Minimize the interference with the water
ow on the surface coming o the distributor
dish.
• Have a low prole above the water for
minimizing wind resistance and oering less
exposure to vandalism.
• Avoid being crushed by ice pressure.
• Provide extra buoyancy when needed without
going much deeper into the water.

Anchoring Systems
The GridBee uses a tethering system to secure
the machine into position. The tethering system
uses cable that spans across the pond or reservoir
connecting to tethering anchors on the shoreline.
Tethering System - The tethering system consists
of 2 duckbill anchors set into the shoreline across
from one another. A stainless steel cable is strung
across the pond or reservoir and tied to both
tether anchors. The GridBee has 2 short chains
running from two of the oat arms through the oat
plates on the machine out to the cable line running
across the pond or reservoir.
Following severe weather conditions (greater than
80-mph (129 km/hr) wind, higher than 4-ft (1.2m)
waves, or ice thaw), it is possible for the duckbill
anchors to pull partly or completely out of the
ground, or the tether cable span across the pond
to break loose from the duckbill anchors. If this
should happen, the pond or reservoir operator
will need to re-locate the machine to its original
position.
Movement of machine - For a GridBee anchored
by a tether system, the machine will have limited
movement, however slack will be left to allow for
water uctuation. The tether line slack will be
eld determined based on tether line span and
expected water uctuation. The GridBee will not
rotate when it is anchored using the tether system.
