APPLICATION: DOMESTIC HOT WATER RECIRCULATION
The new Grundfos COMFORT PM AUTO® range of residential circulating pumps set the standard for intelligent and energy-efficient hot water recirculation through its AUTOADAPT function, which learns the household’s consumption patterns and then adapts to it.
When using the AUTOADAPT mode, average run times are only 3 hours per day, yielding up to an 85 percent power and 48 percent heat/energy savings over conventional constant-speed circulators.
The single phase, 115V pump motor yields up to 6.5 GPM and uses two temperature sensors; one within the pump and another connected by a cable installed in the hot-water flow pipe.
Grundfos is the only manufacturer to offer a variable-speed electronically commutated motor (ECM)-based circulator that uses an integrated logic algorithm to “learn” the varying energy-usage patterns of an application over time, enabling the software to automatically determine the lowest possible operating‐ efficiency point to meet ever-changing demand. By continuously fine‐tuning power consumption and flow rates to meet the dynamic needs of the system, this AUTOADAPT function saves both energy and money.
The AUTOADAPT function is so powerful that eight out of every ten installations can rely on this feature to automatically select the optimal setting, with no additional human intervention. For the installer, that simply means plug and play and walk away.

APPLICATION: MUNICIPAL WATER SUPPLY; INDUSTRIAL PUMPING; IRRIGATION
The Grundfos Hydro MPC BoosterpaQ® is a fully-integrated and compact pressure-boosting system that offers multiple configurations – with up to six pumps in parallel – to accommodate water supply systems, as well as industrial and irrigation applications.
The new CU 352 intuitive graphical interface controller makes the system user-friendly, while ensuring efficient operation. Using actual pump-curve data, the intelligent CU 352 controller helps to optimize energy consumption by controlling/staging the number of pumps in operation, as well as the speed of the individual pumps, in order to continually adjust the performance of the system to variations in demand.
A large, 3 ½ inch by 4 5/8 inch, intuitive color screen ensures easy operation, just as the start-up wizard greatly facilitates commissioning. Rounding out the smart system, the controller communicates via the most common field-bus protocols and features a built-in Ethernet connection, enabling remote access via a web browser.

Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (NASDAQ: FELE) offers the new Little Giant Pit+Plus® Basin as an advanced, installation and service-friendly sewage basin option for plumbing contractors. The Little Giant Pit+Plus features a monolithic top to separate and promote the three key areas of a sewage package – the pump, switch and plumbing connections which can be accessed independently. Still offered with the common float switch, the system was recently redesigned to incorporate the extremely reliable and new ECM™ (External Control Module) switch option. It contains a ‘bell’ inside the basin to monitor liquid level for switch operation outside the basin, isolated from the liquid.
“We listened to the contractor and designed innovative features that isolate areas of the system for ease of installation and service,” says Scott Stayton, Director of Portfolio Management for Franklin Electric. “The ECM switch reduces any chance of water intrusion, which can result in switch failure. No moving switch parts inside the basin eliminates failure from water intrusion and hang-ups, thus creating a more efficient resolution to a common industry challenge.” This innovative package also incorporates molded-in discharge and vent ports, allowing contractors access to the pump or switch independently without disrupting the plumbing connections – saving time, money, and mess.
Additionally, the Little Giant Pit+Plus features a more durable ‘finish’ cover to protect the system during rough-in. It can be cleaned after installation for an aesthetically pleasing permanent look. The new Little Giant Pit+Plus also maintained the features that contractors expect from the previous model, such as: a molded inlet hub, molded anti-torque stops, a 360-degree molded handle, an integrated anti-floatation collar, stainless steel fasteners, and optional alarm versions.
The new Little Giant Pit+Plus is offered in both Senior (24” x 30”) and Junior (24” x 24”) sizes with a 44-gallon total capacity, equipped with a Little Giant 9SN or 10SN Series ejector pump.

NASCAR’s Daytona International Speedway facilities now boast optimal energy efficiency with QuantumFlo’s advanced technology pump systems.
Award-winning pump technology leader, QuantumFlo, is providing a facility upgrade to the water pump system at NASCAR’s Daytona International Speedway. The three 2400 GPM triplex booster systems were completed in the third and fourth quarters of 2014, and by the end of February 2015 all three will be commissioned and ready to serve the domestic water requirements in support of The Great American Race, the Daytona 500.
Chief Executive Officer, Dave Carrier, is excited to bring the energy efficient and cost-saving technology of QuantumFlo’s products to the Daytona International Speedway. “Water requirements for large-scale events, like the Daytona 500, demand tremendous power and reliability. QuantumFlo goes beyond that demand with greater energy efficiency and performance through our intelligent software and design.”
QuantumFlo has applied its cutting-edge pump technology on past NASCAR facility projects with great success. Because of their superior technology and experience on these past projects, NASCAR, the general contractor, Barton Malow, and the plumbing contractor, Nash Plumbing Inc., selected QuantumFlo to contribute to this great improvement to the Daytona International Speedway.
NASCAR recognized QuantumFlo’s drive for innovation and their successful pursuits towards being the worldwide leader in variable speed pumping technology. The Daytona International Speedway will now benefit from QuantumFlo’s top-quality pre-packaged pump systems equipped with advanced software to minimize the facility’s energy and water consumption.
As a sponsor for a dragster racecar, QuantumFlo is no stranger to the racing world and is proud to be able to make such a great benefit and contribution to both their Volusia County community and to what makes Daytona International Speedway a world-class facility. Recognized as an industry and business leader, QuantumFlo provides pre-packaged pump systems for plumbing, HVAC, turf and irrigation and more both locally, as a 2014 Florida Companies to Watch award winner, and globally, as the VMA, Inc 2014 Exporter of the Year.
