[0030] In this embodiment, spring retaining rings are installed on the inner side walls of both ends of the shaft sleeve 4, and the self-aligning ball bearing is located between the spring retaining rings at both ends of the shaft sleeve 4.

[0035] Specifically, the mounting flange 802 is a square flange, and the mounting flange 802 is fixedly mounted on the bracket 14 of the salt water pool by second bolts and nuts.

[0036] In this embodiment, the self-aligning ball bearing is made of non-metallic material.

[0037] Specifically, the material of the self-aligning ball bearing is ceramic material, which has good corrosion resistance, can greatly extend the service life of this embodiment, reduce the maintenance workload of this embodiment, thereby improving production efficiency and enhancing the economic benefits of the factory.

The bracket 14 is installed at the opening of the salt water pool body 13. The system also includes the new stirring device for the salt water pool described in any one of Embodiment 1. When the mounting flange 802 in the new stirring device for the salt water pool is installed on the bracket 14 of the salt water pool, the impeller 5 in the new stirring device for the salt water pool is located in the salt water pool body 13.

[0040] Specifically, such as Figure 6 As shown, the middle area of ​​the salt water pool body 13 is an ice bucket area, in which a plurality of ice buckets are arranged. The salt water in the salt water pool body 13 is poured along the ice bucket area. Figure 6 The brine shown in the figure flows in the brine pool body 13.
