The plug-n-play DC80 Dechlorination Analyzer from Electro-Chemical Devices utilizes a "zero-shift" methodology to provide accurate measurement and protect total chlorine sensors from damage, which naturally occurs when the water samples measured contain near zero or zero levels of chlorine. The analyzer monitors chlorine in drinking water, wastewater, cooling water, and other dechlorination applications from 0.05 to 20 ppm. Its mounted system includes built-in flow control, which eliminates the need for complicated plug-and-play design installs.

With its reversible, adjustable head, Reed's L2N1ADJ ratchet wrench lets workers access nuts in tight quarters. The two socket sizes (1-1/4" & 1-1/16") feature a 12-point design, which helps the sockets grip and hold for pipeline work. Loosening the large wing nut swings the socket head from side to side, and flipping the socket head, by disassembling the wing nut and bolt, makes it possible to use either socket opening without interference.

The PermaNet+ remote water leak detection technology from Fluid Conservation Systems is designed to locate water distribution system leaks. Its acoustic leak noise sensor technology provides sensitivity identical to the FCS Permalog+ platform. The sensor attaches magnetically to water pipelines and proactively "listens" for leak noise to occur within the distribution network. PermaNet+ then transmits the acoustic data from the leak noise sensors directly to the cloud using the existing cellular network, with no need for additional repeating infrastructure or time-consuming installation and setup.

The new compact valves from Bürkert use two different drive and valve concepts, depending on the orifice size: The first is based on linear drive seat valves for orifices DN2 to DN6 (Type 3270: shut-off valve, Type 3280: proportional valve). For the larger orifices DN8 to DN25, the fluid technology specialists from Ingelfingen rely on rotary drive disc valves. They are likewise available as shut-off valves (Type 3275) and as proportional valves (Type 3285). In the seat valves, the direction of flow against the seat is from below.
