Freshwater pump improves efficiency in boat and recreational vehicle applications
Xylem in the USA has announced the launch of the Jabsco Sensor-Max II, a new variable-speed pump specifically designed to make freshwater systems more efficient in boat and recreational vehicle applications.
Capable of handling flow rates of up to 5 gallons per minute (GPM), the new Jabsco Sensor-Max II pump delivers consistent water pressure on demand to support a steady flow without the need for an accumulator tank.
Powered by a variable speed drive, the pump’s motor speed increases in instances where more flow is required and decreases where less flow is required. An integrated pressure transducer that converts pressure into an electrical signal, combined with a built-in sensor controller, adjusts the speed of the motor to ensure optimal flow rates. As the speed of the motor can adjust as needed, the Jabsco Sensor-Max II reduces energy consumption for improved efficiency while delivering an at-home like experience for boat and recreational vehicle owners.
As the pump eliminates the need for a separate accumulator tank to be fitted within the water system, installation is easy. Equipped with snap port fittings, the self-priming pump can also support up to five outlets at any one time and can run dry without any damage.
“Xylem’s new Jabsco Sensor-Max II has set the standard for more efficient pumping in freshwater systems. The integrated pressure transducer, when combined with the built-in programming, supports optimised system performance for a smooth and steady flow every time,” said Young Baeg, Associate Product Manager, Jabsco, Flojet, Rule at Xylem. “As the speed of the motor is controlled, and constant pressure is delivered on demand, users don’t need to worry about rapid cycling or water hammer while the pump is in operation. The pump also uses less energy when compared to traditional solutions, making it a more sustainable choice for consumers.”
