ITT Flowtronex - a Xylem brand products

For Silent Storm Pump Systems not equipped with MCA, Flowtronex uses the Allen Bradley 5/03 Processor based PLC. These systems are highly tuned to the irrigation pumping industry, providing built-in features that have been developed from over 25 years of experience. Features such as Automatic Line Fill, Ramp Up, Time-of-Day Lockout, Automatic Power Saver, full data logging of pump events, pressure and flows, run-time based pump selection and many more features tuned to irrigation control are a standard part of every station we build.

Available for delivery within one week, Flowtronex’ Oasis2 Retrofit Control Panel adds computerized control to any fixed speed or variable speed pump station, regardless of manufacturer. The microprocessor-based Oasis2 industrial controller offers easy navigation and smooth pump operation via a simple touch-screen interface. Flowtronex’ Oasis2 Retrofit Control Panel is weather resistant, UL Listed, and comes equipped in a NEMA 4 rated enclosure.

As operators struggle with diminishing water quality and availability, rising energy costs and pressures to increase productivity, the Flowtronex Pace Integrated Pump Controller sets the bar for overcoming these tough market dynamics. The Pace Integrated Pump Controller provides a new level of advanced integration for remote monitoring, control, reporting and diagnostics of the pump station and other networked equipment; as well as facilitating internet accessibility from anywhere in the world. The Pace Integrated Pump Controller creates a unique resource management tool that promotes invaluable water savings, efficient energy, productivity and scalability.

Although many people equate SCADA with telemetry, SCADA Systems can be much more than simple telemetry. Modern systems allow for complete access to the control and monitoring of an entire irrigation or other water pumping system from a central location. System Operators can quickly detect and correct problems and can accurately adjust operations based on both real time and logged data. Flowtronex SCADA Systems are built using “off the shelf” modular hardware, to ensure ease of maintenance and flexibility for future expansion.

Add variable speed control to an older fixed speed system with the VFD Retrofit control panel or quickly breathe new life into existing VFD pump station controls with the PLC Retrofit pump station control panel. In the 1980’s, the incorporation of the VFD into pump system controls dramatically improved energy- efficient water distribution. VFDs work by changing output frequency to regulate motor speed according to a programmed demand. By operating the pump at the best efficiency point, the VFD reduces overall energy consumption, extends pump life and eliminates the need for a power-wasting pressure control valve. Inrush current at startup is greatly reduced from 600% full load amps to as low as 115%, reducing stresses on the motor and associated switchgear. While pump selection and station usage impacts the potential energy reduction, savings approaching 20% are achievable. VFD technology also lets station controls operate at variable station discharge pressures.

FloBoy is the system of choice for small to mid-size lift, boost and well pump applications (large sports turf, business complexes, cemeteries, nurseries, agriculture and other large irrigation projects.), and supports rainwater and stormwater harvesting. It is equipped with VFD technology for improved system efficiency, simple touch screen controls, highly accurate flowmeter technology for precision irrigation and control, and pressure and safety controls to prevent water waste and system piping damage. Use the Flowtronex online configurator for fast and easy access to pricing, drawings and specifications for your project submittals. Order it online and have your configured FloBoy delivered to you in 3 to 4 weeks. The FloBoy is supported by our 24/7 factory-certified FlowNet global service network.
