Flowtronex expands product portfolio at GIS

Flowtronex, a Xylem brand, launched its Oasis g2, Flowtronex SSE- II and three additions to the PACETM portfolio at the 2016 Golf Industry Show, Feb. 10-11, in San Diego.

All of these products feature state-of-art controls; best-in-class remote monitoring; and complete pump station communications that include diagnostics and historical data, according to Flowtronex.

“Golf course superintendents are seeking ways to integrate technology and ease-of-use features into products that provide strategic results. Our cost-effective products exceed those needs and help water management operators reduce energy consumption and increase operational efficiencies,” says John Collins, global product manager, Flowtronex.

The Flowtronex SSE-II, floor-mounted pump station is the brand’s first configured-to-order package system available with three-main and two-main pump options. Features like premium efficient motors and intuitive full-color touch-screen interfaces ranging from 3.5- to 12-inches now come standard.

SSE-II stations integrate precision control with variable frequency drive (VFD) efficiency to provide superintendents with fully customizable programming. Power guard protects the system against voltage spikes to prevent station damage, and a fertigation system syncs irrigation schedules with fertilizer and other turf management chemicals. Additionally, the SSE-II can be integrated with Toro’s Lynx system for seamless and highly efficient turf irrigation management, according to a press release.

The Oasis g2 is a pump control that offers easy navigation for smooth pump operations of up to three-main pumps with its computerized control interface. According to Flowtronex, it is ideal for retrofit applications, providing a cost-effective way to upgrade existing system controls with a panel that meets new technology standards. The g2 can also be incorporated into a control panel with VFDs for enhanced system efficiency.

PACETM essentials features a 3.5-inch screen display and available on station, panel retrofit and door retrofit applications. Users can reduce energy consumption while achieving desired volume and pressure with all the software capabilities of the PACE Integrated Pump Controller.

PACETM Door Retrofit KIT is intended to maximize the life of their pump stations, while receiving the advantages of the latest technologies from the PACE Integrated Pump Controller. The Door Retrofit KIT is a plug-and-play solution for systems 15 years or older and allows to user to remote monitor and receive diagnostics offered by the PACE pump controller.

PACETM Integrated Pump Controller sets the bar for operators with a wide range of intelligent pump station communications, promoting productivity and scalability to help overcome current market challenges. Its 5.7-inch or 12-inch color touchscreen interfaces display a unique resource management tool and communicate future irrigation activity before it happens, preventing costs associated with pump system catch-up.

“The PACE Integrated Pump Controller, among other Flowtronex products, maximizes irrigation efficiency beyond water consumption, reduces energy costs and provide source-to-course water management tools,” says Collins. “To demonstrate our commitment to water management technology, Flowtronex is continuously providing superior go-to-market capabilities, illustrated by the 16,000 pump stations we’ve installed in more than 70 countries.”
