The SLIM JIMŽ is a "POND LOOP IN A PACKAGE"

Applications:

  • 304 & 316L stainless - fresh water applications
  • Titanium - brackish and seawater applications
  • AL6XN - brackish and seawater applications

Features:

  • Spot & roll welded
  • Easy to install
  • Easy to flush
  • Labour friendly
  • No limit to job size - single to multiple units

Installations Requirements:

  • For proper operation and maximum performance, the Slim JimŽ must:
  • Be installed vertically, completely submerged in a body of water
  • Be supported off bottom and out of silt/mud
  • In northern climates, a minimum of 2' clearance beneath ice cap and top plates is recommended
  • The body of water must be adequate to accommodate the load requirements

Multiple plates of like capacity can be manifold in field with PE pipes to accommodate larger loads. Or custom build (pre-manifold multiple plates) with stainless steel headers equipped with flange connections (single point hookup), reinforced frame, fitted with legs or skids and lift points for handling are available.
