Quad-Jet Agitators {Stainless Steel
Tanks Only}
Refer to Figure 8
The Quad-Jet agitators are the two agitators in the stain-
less steel tank. Each agitator has four holes that shoot jets
of water out at a high velocity. The agitator head is oriented
at 45 degrees, with reference to the tank ends, so that the
water jets are aimed at the corners of the tank. To ensure
proper agitation, make sure that the agitator heads are al-
ways kept in the orientation as shown.

Sparger Tube Agitators {Polyethylene
Tanks Only}
Refer to Figure 9
The sparger tube is used to agitate the liquid in the poly-
ethylene tank. It has a line of holes in the tube that
produces water jets at even intervals in the tank. These
water jets are oriented in a way that causes the liquid in the
tank to “roll”. Below shows an end view of the front of the
poly tank with an arrow showing the direction that the wa-
ter shoots out of the sparger tube. Make sure that the
water jets are oriented as shown to ensure proper
agitation.
