2.4.2 Maximizer Mixer
The Maximizer mixer provides the larger capacity required when the Maximizer is used. The Maximizer
mixer may be used with or without a mixer barrel: the mixer body, mixer top, and mixer barrel are provided
with the system; an optional mixer barrel extender is available. The mixer barrels fit between the mixer body
and the mixer top and are used for higher flow rates. Refer to the following table to determine the
appropriate mixer volume.
