Goulds Water Technology Releases CentriPro Aquavar Solo2 Constant Pressure Controller
LAS VEGAS — Goulds Water Technology (GWT), a Xylem Inc. brand, announced today the launch of the CentriPro Aquavar Solo2 constant pressure controller at the 2014 National Groundwater Association (NGWA) Expo in Las Vegas. GWT updated its industry-leading controller to continue to meet the needs of homeowners with fluctuating water pressure.
The constant pressure system automatically monitors household water demand, maintaining pressure when multiple water sources, such as sinks, showers and toilets are operating simultaneously. The Aquavar Solo2 is as easy to set up and as reliable as its predecessor, the Aquavar Solo, but it has several new and innovative features, including an LED display that provides installers with a digital view of settings such as system pressure, amps, speed and fault history. An advanced output relay can be used for customized installations and to connect accessories, such as a chlorinator pump or an alarm system for unlimited system flexibility.
“Our customers want an extension of the trustworthy Aquavar Solo that provides even more dependable and consistent water pressure,” said Chris Preston, Residential Water Product Manager, Xylem. “The Solo2 can take dismal rural water pressure to better than municipal water pressure with the push of a button.”
The Aquavar Solo2 is rated for indoor and outdoor use with a large variety of mounting options. It is also engineered to enable homeowners to run hoses and sprinklers while still using multiple indoor water fixtures. It is compatible with any manufacturer’s motor — making it ideal for retrofits or system upgrades. Additionally, the soft-start feature helps extend the life of the pump and motor, requiring less energy for startup and operation and eliminating the risk of excessive heat, which is the most common cause of motor failure.
Aquavar Solo2 also features several other benefits for installers and homeowners, including:
- Reduction or elimination of noisy pipes, due to the soft start/stop feature.
- Total system protection, helping to avoid costly repairs by automatically shutting off the pump if it detects no water, loss of prime and over-current and voltage situations.
- Ability to have a more compact layout utilizing the existing pressure tank or a smaller tank model.
