How To Ensure You Rent The Right Pump For Your Job

Using the wrong rental pump for an application can cause unexpected or unnecessary costs, as well as delays and downtime. Here’s how to determine the right rental pump for a given project.

Insta-Valve 250 Mitigates Large Service Outages In Residential Neighborhood

The Town of Holly Springs, NC, used Hydra-Stop's Insta-Valve 250 insertion valves to repair a leak in a transmission line without causing water service outages to over forty residences. This solution saved the town from widespread outages and other costs associated with a system shutdown, providing better control, cost reduction, and long-term value.

Encapsulation Fittings: The Pipe Repair Solution You Didn't Know You Need

Encapsulation fittings offer a solution to pipe repairs involving difficult-to-access lines and critical lines to users such as hospitals, intercity areas, or major traffic arteries.

Water Loss Control For Utilities

Water utilities across the United States have made great strides in controlling water loss within their water distribution systems. However, more can be done to account for every last drop of water.

The Importance Of Pool Water Quality

Palintest is pleased to announce that Lumsio Pooltest 6 and Lumiso Pooltest 3 are now National Sanitation Foundation (NSF) and American National Standards Institute (ANSI) certified

Basics Of Mixing By Submersible Mixers

Understanding the basics of mixing not only helps wastewater treatment plants (WWTPs) to meet treatment goals but can also reduce operating costs.

Sustaining SI Support For Water/Wastewater Facilities

As water/wastewater municipalities are struggling to replace retiring technical personnel and support increasingly sophisticated automation technologies, they are finding well-staffed system integrators can provide the electrical, instrumentation, and controls support they need.

Overcome The Supply Chain Disruptions

The water utility industry is transitioning to wireless smart meters, creating opportunities for small to midsize utilities. Cloud-based applications offer automation, data management, and remote access, providing billing solutions, water usage monitoring, and safety tools.

How To Cost-Effectively Increase Pumping Station Capacity

Early detection of leaks can preserve pumping station capacity. Full-profile insertion (FPI) mag meters can be installed near valves and bends, making them ideal for pumping stations.

Pressurized Dewatering: The Economical Solution For Wastewater Disposal Problems

Pressurized dewatering is typically suitable for sewer systems in outlying areas with no direct access to local gravity sewer lines. It solves ground water pollution problems by utilizing current pumping technology combined with modern trends in sewage removal.

FEATURED GUEST COLUMN

Now Is The Time To Embrace Water Reuse And Recycling

Water is a vital resource for America's essential industries, yet it’s often taken for granted. A 2023 study found fewer than 30% of surveyed companies have water conservation goals in place. This is concerning, considering the immediate, acute impact that water scarcity can have on manufacturing operations.

FROM THE EDITOR

Testing The (Storm)Waters

Water scarcity and flood management are two of the biggest issues facing industry professionals across the U.S. and around the world, but quite often we think of those challenges as regional and separate — the arid West vs. the water-logged Northeast, for example. But in California, they must deal with both extremes, thanks to long stretches of drought interrupted by periods of intense rainfall that can be too much to handle.
