ResMix Vital – Giving Water Managers Confident Control of Stored Water.

WEARS Australia has applied its world-leading mixing technology to solve the challenges water managers face in enclosed potable (stored) water reservoirs.

Engineered to set the global benchmark for enclosed reservoir mixing, ResMix Vital is a surface-mounted, floating mixer that delivers full-volume circulation, rapid destratification, and predictable disinfectant residuals — at ultra-low power.

Why the ResMix Vital is the Market Leading solution for reservoir mixers:

• Benchmark mixing performance — Proven to eliminate stratification within hours in enclosed reservoirs, establishing near-isothermal conditions.

• Full-volume coverage at low power — Surface intake with a floor-reaching jet creates whole-reservoir circulation at ~500 W per unit; simple to run and leave running.

• Designed for potable storage — Optimised for residual stability; once mixed and stable, reservoirs can be supplementary-dosed to give operators further control of stored water.

• Retrofit-ready — Installs into virtually any reservoir type or shape (including curtained cells) with straightforward placement and access, and can be scaled to suit any reservoir size.

ResMix Vital at a Glance

• Solves the right problem: Enclosed reservoirs stratify. Breaking the layers delivers predictable residuals, extended detention times, and increased disinfection contact time.

• How it works: A surface-mounted floating intake pulls oxygen-rich water and discharges toward the floor, creating a uniform, homogeneous water body at very low power.

• Evidence: Hundreds of reservoirs mixed, with results aligning to independent CFD modelling in drinking-water reservoirs from 0.5 ML to 95 ML.

• Practical: Easy to install; set-and-schedule operation with minimal routine maintenance and high reliability.

The Problem we’re solving

Left alone, enclosed drinking-water reservoirs develop thermal layers (warm top, cool bottom). Combined with short-circuiting, baffle curtains, and other internal geometry, this creates stagnant zones and uneven disinfectant decay, shortening the “shelf-life” of stored water and increasing operational effort.

Goal: eliminate stratification and maintain a single, stable water body so residual behaviour is predictable and dosing is simpler. Stable mixing also lets incoming fills blend seamlessly with an already mixed mass.

How top-down mixing works

1. A surface-adjacent floating intake captures well-oxygenated water (without air entrainment).

2. Water is discharged toward the floor as a jet that spreads radially.

3. The flow rises in low-velocity returns and is recaptured at the intake, forming a stable, whole-reservoir circulation cell.

This avoids the inefficiency and complexity of high-powered aeration systems and is sized for continuous low-power operation (or simple scheduled runtimes).
