Maintaining optimal water and wastewater treatment operations requires a balance of precision and efficiency. Controllers play a critical role in maintaining optimal treatment, functioning as the central nervous system for pumps, dosing systems and other equipment. Below we take a look at a few controllers designed to streamline your treatment operations and ensure consistent, reliable performance.

Orenco Systems 4-in-1 Controller
The 4-in-1 Controller from Orenco Systems supports numerous electrical configurations and dosing schedules in a single panel. Both simplex and duplex models are available and can be configured in the field for timed or demand dosing. While the control circuit operates on 120-volt power, the pump circuit is dual-rated for 120- or 240-volt power. It includes a programmable logic unit with multiple timing intervals for changing flow conditions and an elapsed-time meter and counter. It also displays float position and has a float error indicator. Each panel includes a reference chart to assist with troubleshooting during installation and testing as well as wiring diagrams. It is touch-safe.
