a first flange connected to the first distal end and a second flange connected to the second distal end, wherein such configuration creates a chamber inside the cover that is flanked by the first flange and the second flange; wherein the first flange comprises at least one inlet for receiving one or more substances and the second flange comprises at least one outlet for releasing the one or more substances; a submersible actuator connected to the second flange; a high shear mixer for mixing the one or more substances; wherein the high shear mixer is connected to a motorized shaft extension which in turn is connected to the submersible actuator, whose rotation rotates the high shear mixer; a first retention mechanism for receiving the one or more substances; a second retention mechanism for receiving the one or more substances from the first retention mechanism and wherein said second retention mechanism encircles the first retention mechanism; wherein said submersible actuator, said high shear mixer, said first retention mechanism and said second retention mechanism are located inside said chamber; wherein the first retention mechanism and the second retention mechanism are connected to the first flange; wherein the first retention mechanism is connected to the submersible actuator via a coupling ring; wherein the at least one inlet leads the one or more substances into the first retention mechanism in which the one or more substances are mixed by the high shear mixer; wherein the high shear mixer directs the mixed one or more substances towards the submersible actuator; wherein the mixed one or more substances are then directed by the high shear mixer, through one or more grooves in the first retention mechanism, towards the second retention mechanism; and wherein once in the second retention mechanism, the mixed one or more substances are directed, via one or more openings in the second retention mechanism, towards the at least one outlet. ### Claim 2 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, wherein said submersible actuator comprises a submersible motor. ### Claim 3 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, wherein the first retention mechanism encircles the high shear mixer. ### Claim 4 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, wherein the at least one inlet and the at least one outlet have the same diameter. ### Claim 5 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, further comprising sealing means located in the area of contact between the first flange and the first distal end. ### Claim 6 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, further comprising sealing means located in the area of contact between the second flange and the second distal end. ### Claim 7 (depends on 6) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 6, wherein the sealing means is a sealing ring or a rubber gasket. ### Claim 8 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, wherein the first flange comprises a second inlet for receiving one or more substances that is separate from the at least one inlet for receiving one or more substances. ### Claim 9 (depends on 8) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 8, wherein the at least one inlet for receiving one or more substances receives water and the second inlet for receiving one or more substances receives a liquid polymer. ### Claim 10 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, wherein the first flange comprises one or more grooves adjusted to receive an end of the cover, an end of the first retention mechanism and an end of the second retention mechanism. ### Claim 11 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, wherein the second flange comprises one or more grooves adjusted to receive an end of the submersible actuator. ### Claim 12 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, wherein the first retention mechanism includes one or more mixing zones that are separate from each other. ### Claim 13 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, wherein the second retention mechanism includes one or more mixing zones that are separate from each other. ### Claim 14 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, wherein the submersible actuator is always in contact with the one or more substances while the liquid polymer activation system is in use. ### Claim 15 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, wherein the cover is cylindrical. ### Claim 16 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, further comprising a housing for storing the cover. ### Claim 17 (depends on 1) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 1, further comprising an impeller attached to the motorized shaft extension. ### Claim 18 (depends on 3) The liquid polymer activation system as in claim 3, wherein the second retention mechanism encircles the first retention mechanism.
