Thank you! to all who stopped by and visited with us at the 2017 Illinois Rural Water Annual Conference in Effingham IL! This year, we had two special guests, Tony Beuke (President, JFlow Controls Inc.) and Brian Isom (Product manager, JFlow Controls Inc.). Tony and Brian generously lent their expertise as we led an advanced … Read More →
Altitude Valve Automation at Potable Water Districts Valve Automation serves a vital role in Potable Water Telemetry Control System Integration. Valves are used in a variety of applications, which broadly include OPEN/CLOSE applications for ON/OFF flow control, as well as MODULATING applications for variable pressure and flow control. This article will address an interesting ALTITUDE CONTROL problem … Read More →

Are you heading over to Effingham this week to the Illinois Rural Water Association Annual Conference? If so, please stop by and visit! On Tuesday at 11am-Noon, I am leading a training class that you won’t want to miss: “How to Track and Minimize Pump Energy Consumption by Leveraging VFD’s, Flow Meters, & Telemetry” In … Read More →
In the Rural Water Industry, when a pressure or flow regulation valve is needed, the traditional choice for many years had been the diaphragm-type valve. In 2002, however, we introduced a new and improved flow and pressure regulating valve/telemetry technology: the electronically-controlled, high-performance butterfly valve. The High-Performance Butterfly Valve offered many advantages over the diaphragm valve, especially in … Read More →
In the rural and municipal water industries, valve control of pressure and flow has often been accomplished using diaphragm-type valves. These types of valves can be tuned to provide altitude control at water towers, pumping stations, and custody-transfer valve stations. The valves offer a no-slam open/close actuation and can be tuned to sustain a desired … Read More →
