Hurricane Blower
Remove Total Trihalomethanes (TTHM) from Drinking Water
The Hurricane Blower, a true game-changer, exemplifies our dedication to helping municipal water utilities tackle major challenges like corrosion, humidity, and the buildup of trihalomethanes (TTHMs) in tanks and standpipes. This powerful yet easy-to-use system delivers fast, tangible results—improving water quality, reducing maintenance demands, and saving thousands in unnecessary retrofits. Designed for quick installation and minimal ongoing upkeep, the Hurricane Blower empowers operators to take full control of TTHMs without expensive, complex aeration systems or infrastructure changes. Its scalable design makes it ideal for utilities of all sizes, from smaller local systems to large metropolitan water networks, providing measurable improvements in safety, compliance, and efficiency.

Hurricane Blower Advantages
The Hurricane Blower is more than just a piece of equipment—it is a reliable, high-performance partner for drinking water treatment (see case study). Engineered to address multiple challenges simultaneously, it eliminates excessive humidity from tank headspaces, which dramatically reduces corrosion and extends the lifespan of water storage infrastructure. By actively managing headspace temperature and humidity, it keeps TTHMs in check, helping utilities meet regulatory standards, improve water quality, and maintain consumer confidence. Over time, this proactive approach translates to longer-lasting tanks, fewer emergency repairs, reduced maintenance costs, and a more substantial return on investment. Utilities also benefit from a more predictable operational environment and improved system reliability.
While working in tandem with the Tidal Wave Water Tank Mixer, our active air ventilation system, featuring the Hurricane Blower, enhances both the efficiency and sustainability of the water treatment process. It reflects Big Wave Waters’ commitment to providing cleaner, safer water, promoting greener operations, and supporting long-term reliability and stewardship of community water resources.
To top it all off, every Hurricane Blower comes with a solid 1-year warranty—proof that we fully stand behind the quality, performance, and durability of every unit we deliver. Investing in the Hurricane Blower is investing in safer water, lower operating costs, and peace of mind for your utility team and the communities you serve.
Active Water Tank Mixer
Our enhanced ability to reduce trihalomethanes in drinking water is due to the active water reservoir mixer, the Tidal Wave Mixer, working with the Hurricane Blower as a team. The water reservoir mixer excites all the water in the reservoir, increasing the rate at which the Hurricane Blower can remove trihalomethanes from the drinking water
