Goulds Aquavar Pump Mounted Controllers

The AQUAVAR pump-mounted pump controller is a variable frequency drive and pump specific PLC in one compact unit, that will vary the speed of the motor to maintain a consistent pressure, flow, temperature or level.  These drives are available from 2-30 horsepower and utilize a standard off-the-shelf motor.

Applications Include:

• Domestic Water Booster Service

• Multi-Story Building Water Supply

• Reverse Osmosis Filtration Systems

• Boiler Feed Systems

• Cooling Tower Circuits

• Plastic Injection Molding Machines

• HVAC Circulation Systems

• Landscape, Turf and Agricultural Irrigation

• Seal Flush Barrier Fluid

• Spray Wash Systems

• Water Fountain Control

Eliminate Run Out Caviatation
When centrifugal pumps are asked to produce more flow than their design allows, they will eventually destroy themselves though cavitation.  The AQUAVAR controller prevents this by automatically starting the next pump of a multi-pump system, or shutting the pump down before damage can occur.  No mechanical metering valves or flow restrictors are required.

Eliminate Shut Off Damage
Running a centrifugal pump with no flow will eventually heat the pumpage and may create seal failure or other damage.  The AQUAVAR controller prevents this by automatically shutting down the pump when there is no demand in the system.  No pressure regulator valve, mechanical by-pass lines and orifice plates are required.

Eliminate Wasted Energy
The AQUAVAR will only consume enough energy based on the current demand.  The AQUAVAR controller does this by automatically reducing motor speed at lower flow to match the requirements of the system.  No large supply tanks are required.

Eliminate Control Panels
Most systems have an electrical panel with starters, protection against voltage fluctuation, faults, shorts and overloads.  In a multi-pump system, relays, switches and other controls are also needed to sequence the pumps.  The AQUAVAR controller eliminates this by providing soft start, complete electrical protection, and automatic sequencing without the need for a separate panel.

Multi-Pump Control
The AQUAVAR controller can be used to control up to 4 pumps, without additional PLCs or control panels.  Auto lead/lag and switching control built in.
