Watts Big Daddy dual roof drains
The Big Daddy RD-800 Series dual roof drains from Watts offer leakage protection, durable construction and ease of installation. The drains eliminate the need to cut separate holes in the roof for overflow drainage. In testing, the 10-inch model achieved a 1,368 gpm flow rate. They are available in 8- and 10-inch outlets and a cut-through overflow option is available. 978-688-1811; www.watts.com.
Franklin Electric Pioneer Pump Vortex Series
The Pioneer Pump Vortex Series pumps from Franklin Electric pass through the most challenging solids using a recessed impeller that avoids direct contact. The pumps are suited for applications where fluid conditioning, macerating or mix-prevention is unnecessary. The vortex technology eliminates internal wetted parts, like wear plates and chopper blades, which would otherwise have to be monitored, adjusted and replaced. A range of electric and diesel packaging options are offered for fixed and portable installations and can be fitted with the Pioneer Prime vac-assist system for suction lift applications. The pumps are available in 4 by 4, 6 by 6 and 8 by 8 sizes and cover flow rates up to 3,600 gpm and heads up to 150 feet. 260-824-2900; www.pioneerpump.com.
Myers Seth Pump DD-6 pump
The DD-6 pump from Myers Seth Pump pulls the best attributes of four different types of pumps — double diaphragm, centrifugal, piston and rotary lobe — into one solution. The DD-6 is capable of being used for the six most common methods of dewatering that are typically encountered on a job site, from simple to complex. The 6-inch, high-volume double-diaphragm pump has a HATZ 1D81Z, 10 hp air-cooled diesel engine, enabling 140 max cfm. It features high head pressure and 3/8-inch steel construction to make it reliable and durable. It can pump 700 gpm, deliver 28 feet of vertical lift and move 4 1/2-inch solids, making it a great sludge and slurry pump as well. The Sound Attenuated Fully Enclosed version reduces noise output by up to 50 percent, making it ideal for metropolitan and urban environments. 904-389-6114; www.myerssethpumps.com.
Leopold - a Xylem Brand Type 360 Underdrain
The Leopold - a Xylem Brand Type 360 Underdrain is a bolt down model that provides efficiency through a 360-degree backwash technology. The 360-degree backwash design uses single-pass filtration to eliminate dead zones in the filter media. Slots and orifices around the underdrain penetrate the media from every angle. By allowing for 100 percent backwash of the media above and between the laterals, it increases filter run times and reduces backwash water consumption. Self-cleaning technology removes sediments and a corrosion-free reinforced polymer ensures maximum filter lifetime. 855-995-4261; www.xylem.com.
Sensaphone 1800 monitoring system
The 1800 monitoring system from Sensaphone allows for remote monitoring of environmental changes such as pump status, tank level, pump alarm outputs, power failure and security, that can indicate a malfunction of critical equipment. The system also detects problems such as temperature changes, humidity fluctuations, water leaks, carbon monoxide and carbon dioxide levels, and smoke. When the system detects a sensor reading has moved out of the preset range, it immediately alerts up to eight people with custom phone calls. One unit can monitor conditions 24/7 for up to eight locations. The internal rechargeable battery backup provides 24 hours of continuous monitoring and alerts in the event of a power outage. 877-373-2700; www.sensaphone.com.
