Goulds Water Technology - a Xylem brand articles
Whether used to remove cosmetics, clean a baby or wipe food and debris from the kitchen counter, a growing number of consumers are purchasing flushable wet wipes for their household needs. In fact, The Atlantic reported personal wet wipe sales reached an estimated $2.2 billion last year, and Euromonitor International’s market tracker predicts 3-percent growth in sales volume of wet wipes from 2014 to 2019.
Sales of flushable wipes have increased due to their conven
Chief among these safety features is fire protection. There are myriad codes and regulations relating to fire safety in commercial buildings, from standards on portable fire extinguishers to the installation of stationary pumps for fire protection — the U.S.- based National Fire Protection Agency (NFPA) alone has more than 300 consensus codes that have been adopted in whole or in part in countries throughout the world.
As rapid urbanization around the globe continues to spu
Streamlined BIB platforms also provide reliability and performance
At a time when fountain installers and bottlers are asking their distributor partners in beverage dispense for the ideal pump for standard bag-in-box (BIB) applications; and restaurant, bar, gas station and convenience store owners and operators are seeking more efficient and innovative backroom solutions to satisfy their customers’ demands, the world’s leading soft drink manufacturers are
Bell & Gossett is nation’s only pump brand to meet efficiency requirements 3+ years early
Xylem Inc. brand Bell & Gossett announces its e-Series line of products achieves and exceeds efficiency targets for clean-water pumps set forth by the U.S. Department of Energy, more than three years in advance of the 2020 compliance date. In addition, Xylem’s pump test laboratories in Morton Grove, Illinois, and Seneca Falls, New York, h
Highly efficient variable speed drive reduces energy consumption
Xylem, a global water technology leader, has released the fifth generation HYDROVAR, an intelligent pump controller that accurately adapts to system demands, helping end users realize cost and energy savings while achieving optimum system performance. The new drive can reduce energy consumption of a pump by as much as 70 percent.
“A variable frequency drive (VFD) is an important component o
Energy and maintenance expenses account for approximately 75 percent of the life-cycle costs of a centrifugal pump. With a growing emphasis on reducing energy consumption driven by government regulation and businesses seeking operational and financial efficiencies, HVAC system designers are seeking system solutions that maximize efficiencies while reducing costs.
To address this demand and the industry’s evolution, Bell & Gossett (B&G), a Xylem brand, has introduced a ne

When Seabury S. Gould founded his pump company in the mid-1800s, he knew he had a good thing going. He believed in the material and the design, and he was proud to be the man behind fresh flowing water for the pioneers opening the West, the farmers in the East and the plantations down South.
What Gould didn’t know, and probably couldn’t have imagined, was that the pump would become the heart of ind
Now that the head capacity relationship along the X and Y axes of the pump curve has been established in Part 1 of this series, the pump curve can be used to determine the amount of horsepower required to meet the head and capacity requirements for the job.
Horsepower is a unit of power equal to 550 foot pounds per second or 746 watts. Water horsepower is the minimum power required for a pump to move water throughout a given system, or the power that t
This issue is not addressed in Xylem Domestic Pump and Hoffman Pump product manuals, factory recommendations or Little Red School House steam system application and sizing guides. Some installations require insulation for safety. Otherwise, it’s a matter of choice based on system design and your understanding of the strengths, limitations and use of products in the system.
Before deciding to apply insulation to condensate handling/ boiler fe
Q. How do I test a spring pilot?
A. The easiest way to test a pilot operated valve is to disconnect the pilot line and observe the pilot’s operation.
Keep in mind you are handling steam. Use proper safety precautions.
When you turn the adjusting nuts in, the pilot valve should open and steam should shoot out the end of the tube. When you back out the adjusting nuts, the pilot should close. Only a small leakage is acce
