Chemical Automation Controllers
Our programmable controllers provide complete chemical automation for pH, ORP, and chlorine residual levels. Featuring solid-state sensors and Langelier Saturation Index monitoring, these systems optimize chemical usage while preventing scaling and corrosion. Designed for 24/7 operation with a 5-year warranty.
Remote Monitoring Systems
Web-server enabled controllers allow real-time remote access via computer or mobile app. Users receive automatic alerts through email or text messages while maintaining true duplex operation with identical controller and device displays for troubleshooting.
Chlorine Residual Monitoring
Our PPM sensors use selective membrane technology for accurate free chlorine readings without interference. These sensors provide precise control in pool, industrial, and municipal applications while maintaining low maintenance requirements and industry-leading reliability.
Cooling Tower Controllers
Specialized controllers for cooling tower applications feature conductivity control, corrosion monitoring, and chemical feed programs. Systems include safety flow switches, automatic backwash controls, and BMS communication capabilities to optimize efficiency and prevent equipment damage.
