Motor and Pump Controls
Gorman-Rupp Integrinex Advanced
Integrinex Advanced lift station controls from Gorman-Rupp are custom engineered to meet unique system requirements. When equipped with FloSmart technology, the control system can detect a pump obstruction and run a cleaning cycle until the debris clears.
