Pump Control Systems > Water Booster SystemIs Your Water Booster System Costing You More Than It Should?
A typical existing domestic water booster system runs at full speed with a valve passing the appropriate amount of water to the building. This is analogous to driving your car with the accelerator on the floor and controlling your speed with the brake! Since your building only needs a small fraction of the total flow capacity the majority of the time, this method of operation is remarkably inefficient.
Additionally, these older systems rely on mechanical components such as pressure reducing valves, bladder tanks and mercury switches. These items are failure-prone and a prime cause of service calls, draining your maintenance budget. Technology Advances Have Made Variable Speed Controls Affordable on our Water Booster SystemsQMC has taken advantage of these technology advances to develop an economical water booster systerm that matches water flow with the actual demand. An on-board computer monitors demand in real-time and constantly adjusts the pump speed. Since the pump is running at only the required speed (rather than full-on), a significant energy savings is realized.
With the exception of the pump and motor, the EconoBoost system has no moving parts. The failure-prone mechanical components have been eliminated. The simple to use EconoBoost system also has sophisticated built-in diagnostics and safeguards to protect the pump and monitor against dry running, line breaks, etc. Faults are displayed in plain English on the operator's display. QMC can replace your existing control system or provide a complete engineered system with new, high efficiency pumps and motors.
