Xylem unveils pump controller at GIS

Xylem Inc., a global water technology company, announced its new Oasis EX pump controller from its Flowtronex brand at the 2014 Golf Industry Show (GIS) February 5-6 in Orlando, Fla.

The Oasis EX delivers modern features, such as remote monitoring, Web-enabled controls and advanced water measurements to ensure efficiency in pump stations and is specifically engineered for retrofitting existing stations.

The pump controller delivers quality production by hitting on four key points:

• Energy efficiency: Oasis EX enables the user to control a high efficiency variable frequency drive (VFD) to optimize energy use, while maximizing the motor and pump life.
• Efficient water management: By monitoring daily flow rates, superintendents can rest assured that overwatering will not occur.
• Eco-friendly and economical operations: Courses that use granular fertilizer can significantly reduce water use by switching to the Oasis EX fertigation system. Cost savings of up to 50 percent can be realized on fertilizer and chemicals.
• Enhanced troubleshooting: The unit includes an advanced yet simple operating system and details fault history, parameters and indicators. The display includes a color touch-screen or fully equipped numerical keyboard.
