Pumps + Get AlertsAMETEK point level switch
The Z-tron IV point level switch from AMETEK Drexelbrook features an all-electronic design. Cote-Shield circuitry enables the switch to ignore coatings and buildup on the sensing element. Dust or tunneling won’t produce a false signal. The switch only reacts to actual high- or low-level conditions. The one-piece design allows for easy installation through a single 3/4-inch vessel opening. 800/553-9092; www.drexelbrook.com.
Badger Meter flow monitor
The ER-500 series flow monitor from Badger Meter is designed for challenging environments. Meters can be connected to a network for remote monitoring and process automation. Models support multiport linearization tables for increased accuracy. Alarm parameters warn of changes in process or pipeline. 800/876-3837; www.badgermeter.com.

The pumps can handle up to 145 psi (SLC4) and 87 psi (SLC8). Features include self-priming and dry-run capabilities, temperature range of 5 to 212 degrees F, solid particle handling of 0.079 inches and soft particle size handling of 0.25 inches. Approved for use in ATEX atmospheres, a heating jacket is available. 909/557-2900; www.psgdover.com.
HEMCO island canopy hood
Island canopy hoods from HEMCO are designed to collect and exhaust corrosive vapors, heat, steam and odors when mounted over areas with water baths, hot plates or portable equipment. Hoods are made of one-piece composite resin and can be wall-mounted or suspended from the ceiling. Optional side panels prevent cross drafts. 800/779-4362; www.hemcocorp.com.
Hach FL900AV flow logger
The FL900AV flow logger from Hach, together with the AV9000 analyzer, dampens EMF and RFI noise for smoother, more accurate measurements. Velocity measurements can account for water temperature swings and salinity concentrations. Advanced diagnostics verify that the sensor is working properly. 800/368-2723; www.hachflow.com.
Walchem W100W controller
The W100W controller from Walchem has three control outputs, large icon-based display and multiple language support. Other features include universal sensor input, while the cooling tower/boiler model has an optional analog (4-20 mA) output for recording, data logging or connection to energy management systems. The conductivity, pH/ORP and disinfection W100W has three models for use with amplified electrodes, nonamplified electrodes with a BNC connector or nonamplified electrodes without a connector. 508/429-1110; www.walchem.com.
Xylem intelligent pump station controller
The MultiSmart intelligent pump station controller from Flygt – a Xylem Brand, can control up to six pumps. Default settings can be adapted to suit the requirements of individual pump stations, while a remote control feature reduces the frequency of site visits. An alarm feature prompts the operator to carry out necessary maintenance to prevent problems occurring in the system. Based on field tests, the controller can reduce pump station energy consumption by 35 percent. 704/409-9700; www.flygtus.com.
Rockwell Automation voltage monitor
The Allen-Bradley i-Sense voltage monitor from Rockwell Automation reads incoming power, providing data that pinpoints voltage-based power events and reveals any consequent relationship between voltage sags and downtime. 414/382-2000; www.rockwellautomation.com/industries/water.
Dialight LED flood light
