MARS Recirculation Systems - Small
The MARS Recirculation System recycles the test water used on the MARS Test Bench System(s), maintaining volume and pressure to test all the meters at the recommended AWWA Specifications, per Table 5-3 of the current AWWA M6 Manual.
MARS Test Bench Systems are designed to meet / exceed American Water Works Association (AWWA) recommendations, National Institute for Standards and Technology (NIST) Handbook 44 Specifications, ISO Specifications and other standards and requirements.
Advantages of Recirculation Systems
Compliance with local, state and/or Federal laws and regulations as it reduces the chemicals released into the environment
An immediate reduction in consumption of test water
An immediate reduction in water dumped to waste after each test
Improved customer perception as the City sets an example for water conservation practices
Standard and Optional Features
Available on every configuration of MARS Small Bench Recirculation Systems.
* Denotes Optional Items, contact MARS for details.
Storage Tanks
Size dependent on configuration, as tanks and pumps can optionally service multiple benches.
Redundant Supply*
Offers the ability to use either city or recirculation for supply, making a redundant system (i.e., if one system is inoperable, the other can be used).
Reduced Usage
Utilizes a storage tank and system of pumps and VFD’s (if necessary) to recirculate water through the test bench, minimizing overall water use.
Under normal conditions, municipal water is only used to fill recirculation tank and maintain sufficient water levels during operation.
Return Pumps*
Requires a return pump (unless re-circulation tank is below measurement tank) and pump to direct water from the measurement tank back to re-circulation tank
Ease of Maintenance*
Systems are equipped with filtration and chlorination to ensure clean test water.
Standard System Specifications
Specifications are subject to change at any time. Please contact MARS for the latest specifications.
