Originally designed for use in the North Atlantic's harsh marine environment, it is designed to produce DC power at moderate propeller speeds. The Aquair unit is often mounted above a narrow stream on bridging logs, with a simple vertical leg that's adjustable. Other mounting options are to secure the unit inside a venturi pipe or under floating pontoons. It is mounted with prop facing the stream flow, strongly secured to a timber or aluminum support structure. The prop is top-grade ductile aluminum, and can be hammered back into shape if it really gets struck hard.
Spare props are available.
