PUMPS AND DRIVES RESOURCES
-
Every day in the U.S., an estimated 6 billion gallons of water is lost due to leaks in our water distribution systems. That’s enough to meet the needs of 60 million people—and it’s not just your water that’s being lost.
-
Challenges associated with deploying smart water technologies include "Where do I begin?" and "Who do I use?". These questions can often be barriers to small and mid-sized utilities that have limited resources available to them and are already burdened with competing daily priorities.
-
For aging pump systems, a full replacement is not always practical or cost-effective. In such cases, retrofitting offers a compelling alternative, breathing new life into existing infrastructure.
-
Installing or upgrading high-efficiency motors in water management reduces energy consumption and emissions throughout the water management process, from pumping stations to water treatment plants and irrigation systems.
-
Utilities can leverage advanced technologies to make monitoring and maintenance easier for operators to execute with fewer advanced skills, while reducing manpower and increasing the life of equipment.
-
Explore the parallels between water systems in buildings and water utilities, and the need for property owners to adopt water quality management practices, such as time-based flushing, to maintain safe water conditions for occupants.

People working with water infrastructure or handling other industrial needs may choose variable frequency drives (VFDs) for better pump control options. This approach relies on a component that alters the frequency and voltage received by the pump motor, thereby changing its speed and torque. Here are some of the benefits of VFDs.
