ASV Stübbe has introduced further enhancements to its dosing valve, the ProfiDos 101.
Quadraplex pump controller
08 July, 2008 | Dwyer Omega (Aust) Pty Ltd
The series QPC is used where four pumps are required to alternate to provide equal run time on each. Alternating loads allows for equal wear on all pumps, lengthening their operation life. The series QPC has five inputs allowing the four outputs to operate properly even if one of the inputs fails to open or close. Four LED indicators show the load that is energised by the SPST output contacts.
Chlorine controller
08 July, 2008 | Convergent Water Controls Pty Ltd
Unlike ORP control, using free or total chlorine control can give precise readings of the actual hypochlorous acid or free (residual) chlorine content of the water being treated. Hypochlorous acid content fluctuates with changes in pH and regular ORP readings can give false impressions of the actual ‘effective kill’ of the chemicals being used.
