Franklin Electric Co., Inc. (www.franklin-electric.com – NASDAQ:FELE) offers the Little Giant® EC-1-DV Series Mini Condensate Removal Pump that provides multi-voltage operation from one unit. This model is designed to operate on any common residential and commercial voltages of 115V, 208V and 230V single phase. The EC-1-DV and EC-1K-DV (condensate pumping kit) accomplish this multi-voltage operation by sensing the supply voltage and providing only the right amount of power to drive the pump to produce precise and consistent pumping performance. The pump offers improved noise reduction, reliable solid-state switching technology, and easy installation on the right or left side of mini-split, wall-mount ductless air conditioners.
In addition to these features, it includes all the innovative features of the existing EC-1 Series.
EC-1 key features and benefits include:
- Vibration Dampening Design – An elastomeric cushion supports the motor, which isolates inherent motor vibrations and reduces noise transmission. Combined with external isolation mounts, this further reduces noise transmission to surrounding surfaces.
- Quick and Easy Installation – Mounting brackets allow the motor/controller and reservoir to be quickly positioned during initial install and later during servicing.
- Advanced Float Design – Precision magnets activate Hall Effect sensors within the float to provide pinpoint accuracy for automatic on/off pump operation and overflow detection.
- Immediate Visual Inspection – A clear reservoir tank provides immediate inspection of the water level, float and filter for quick and accurate servicing.
This powerful combination of features provides the most advanced mini condensate removal pump for ductless mini-split air conditioners available today. For more information, visit www.littlegiant.com.

MSCI50 Provides Performance Where It Counts
Pentair Flow & Filtration Solutions today announced the launch of the Myers MSCI50 line of sump pumps, a heavy-duty cast iron submersible pump for the plumbing professional, designed to deliver up to 30% increased flow at 10’ of lift based on a national average of residential sump pumps.
The power of the Myers’ optimized hydraulic pump design and geometry of the volute, coupled with a reliable PSC motor, means delivery of increased performance in removing groundwater from basins located in residential basements or crawl spaces.
“The new Myers sump pumps are designed to provide plumbing professionals with performance where it counts,” said Norm Gassaway, product manager, Pentair Flow & Filtration Solutions – Water Solutions. “The Myers MSCI50 is designed to offer reliability, efficiency and options that deliver high performing solutions which help plumbing professionals improve productivity and profitability.”
The Myers MSCI50 sump pumps are available in cast iron construction, designed for heavy duty applications, and providing up to 30% greater flow rate at 10’ of lift based on a national average of residential sump pumps. The Myers pumps are available with multiple options, including cords from 10’-50’, a variety of float switches and piggy-back plug for quick installation and easy maintenance.
Gassaway added that the Myers sump pumps are available in a cast iron (MSCI Series) and cast iron and zinc construction (MS50, MS33 Series), providing up to a 30% better flow rate at 10’ of lift than competitors’ pumps. They are available in 1/3HP or 1/2HP, come with 10’ or 20’ cords, and have tethered and vertical float switches.

Wilo USA’s new white paper titled “Wilo Helix EXCEL: The Excellent One” details the superior performance, energy savings and innovative new features of its Helix EXCEL pump. The Helix EXCEL is a multistage centrifugal pump that utilizes electronic commutated motor (ECM) technology and a high efficiency drive (HED) to achieve motor efficiency levels of up to 94%. More importantly, the overall hydraulics of the pump show over a 52% energy efficiency compared to a standard NEMA motor.
The white paper reports how the Helix EXCEL surpasses NEMA Super-Premium motors that meet NEMA 12-12 efficiency levels while achieving the same throughput as other multistage pumps at the same operation duty point as it consumes less power. The pump’s hydraulics are made of corrosion-resistant stainless steel and produced with laser welding technology, and are optimized to improve quality, efficiency and NPSHR.
“Pumps account for at least 10% of the world’s electricity consumption. That’s huge,” explains Don Kahn, Product Manager at Wilo USA. “If every business started using high-efficiency pumps, this could result in global savings of 4% of total electricity used.”
In addition, the white paper details the Helix EXCEL’s easy operation. A user-friendly interface, for example, makes it easy to set up pump parameters. Different control modes include speed control, constant pressure, and a differential pressure variable (Dp-v). The Helix EXCEL also boasts a PID controller with Delta p-c and temperature control sensors for operation.
The pump’s interface improves BUS communication by allowing for direct data communication with controllers, actuators, and sensors from different manufacturers. It easily integrates into building automation systems and provides real time information on fault signals, current pressure, flow and run signals and more. Improved automation helps reduce costly and avoidable maintenance expenses, while the Helix EXCEL’s cartridge seal system reduces the time required for maintenance work to one-third.
The white paper also lists the Helix EXCEL’s exterior features that provide versatility in open and closed water loop applications, including pressure transducers available in 16 BAR (232 PSI) and 25 BAR (363 PSI). Pressure transducer cables, differential pressure kits, stage kits and bypass kits are also available.

The days of receiving a cold-water jolt from someone flushing a nearby toilet may soon be ending.
The intelligent and low-noise Grundfos SCALA2 domestic booster pump offers homeowners the holy grail of constant water pressure, regardless of municipal inlet pressure and multiple open taps.
Fully integrated, the new self-priming SCALA2 is designed to boost water pressure from city mains, shallow wells and storage tanks serving residential buildings with up to three floors and eight taps. An intelligent pump control sensor compares measured and desired water pressures, adjusting pump speed accordingly and ensuring a perfect water pressure through the system. The plug-and-pump solution has a user-friendly control panel to enable manual pressure adjustments.
While water boosting pumps can often be large and noisy, the compact, all-in-one SCALA2 weighs only 22 Ibs. and has a super-silent motor that is water-instead-of-fan-cooled, which results in a sound level of 47 dB(A), which is roughly as loud as a modern dishwasher.
“With the new SCALA2 water booster pump, homeowners will have perfect, steady water pressure–even if the shower is on, the kitchen faucet is running and the car is being washed outside. It will only take a plumber a few minutes to install, but it’ll boost the comfort in the home for years and years,” according to Kirk Vigil, Director of National Accounts for DBS.
The SCALA2 will be available in May 2016.
