AQUARIUS SPECTRUM LTD.The iQuarius smartphone leak detection solution combines an Android app with an acoustic widget, a sensor that creates a powerful system that can perform: pipe listening (allows listening and recording of low-frequency sound vibrations), acoustic survey (a GIS-based acoustic logging that measures the vibration intensity in water pipes: the noise is recorded and sent to the server for analysis), and acoustic correlation (enables the correlation between two mobile sensors, allowing the user to pinpoint the exact location of a leak). iQuarius is ideal for service teams that can use it for both leak surveys and pinpointing. The iQuarius app is available on Google Play.www.aquarius-spectrum.com

SMITH & LOVELESSThe exclusive design of the Smith & Loveless (S&L) Non-Clog Pump lends itself to significant energy efficiency savings for wastewater and stormwater pumping. S&L Non-Clog Pump design features an oversized, stainless steel pump shaft that minimizes overhang, resulting in significantly less shaft deflection and greater pump efficiencies. Close tolerances are in all cases tighter than NEMA specifications. The impeller is also designed for maximum efficiency. By trimming the impellers inside the shrouds, the S&L pump leaves the back shroud full diameter to prevent stringy material from winding around the shaft.www.smithandloveless.com

VIVAX-METROTECH CORP.Vivax-Metrotech offers the tracer gas leak detector HL5000-H2, which can also be used with acoustic sensors. This leak pinpointing system saves the cost of having a second device. Its ease of use and special features make it a versatile instrument suitable for the toolbox of anybody in the leak detection business. Use of tracer gas—proven in the industry—is often the last option to find very small or difficult water leaks even in low pressure situations. The same techniques can be applied to other utilities without interrupting any supply.www.vivax-metrotech.com

THE TORO CO.The Toro Co. is adding five new 0.75-inch rotor models to its best-selling T5 RapidSet Series rotor product line. This includes the Shrub, Shrub Effluent, 12-inch High Pop, 12-inch High Pop Effluent, and Lawn Effluent models. The tool-free arc adjustment of the patent-pending RapidSet feature allows the arc orientation and angle to be quickly set or changed through a straightforward combination of twists of the nozzle turret. The T5 RapidSet rotor’s unique slip clutch makes the no tools arc adjustment possible, while also protecting the turret gears and components from damage. The rotor can be adjusted to cover arcs of 40–360 degrees. Similar to the T5 RapidSet lawn model, which was introduced early last year, the Shrub and High Pop models also feature Toro’s Airfoil Technology nozzles. The nozzles’ geometries are specially designed for the T5 and create a low pressure zone just beneath the nozzle openings, which delivers a better up-close watering profile and leading overall distribution uniformity.www.toro.com/T5

SCHAFFNER USAECOSine Passive Harmonic Filters remove specific orders of harmful harmonics (found in many manufacturing/processing environments) before they can cause any damage. By eliminating for harmonics, ECOSine passive harmonic filters protect sensitive electronics and ensure a longer service life. They are ideal for a variety of industrial applications such as variable frequency drives, motors, pumps, UPS, HVAC equipment, and more.www.schaffnerusa.com

AMTECH TANK LININGDuraChem 580 series lining systems extend the service life of new and existing potable water, wastewater, fire suppression water, or chemical containment vessels through “best-in-class” poly lining technology. Sprayed up at high temperature, DuraChem linings cure instantly, bonding to the tank substrate. Unlike older coating technologies, DuraChem 100% solids linings have flex and elongation characteristics, which allow for tank expansion, contraction, and movement without disbonding. Suitable for steel, concrete, and laminate tanks, Amtech’s DuraChem tank lining systems are formulated to exceed industry standards.www.amtechtanklining.com

XYLEM INC.High-accuracy, simple SDI-12 communication and advanced design are just a few features of the new WaterLOG Nile Series (Nile 502, Nile 504, Nile 517) radar water level sensors, released this week by WaterLOG—a Xylem brand. The Nile series operates based on the time-of-flight method. Radar impulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product (water surface), and received again by the radar system. This provides the most precise measurement data in water level applications requiring non-contact transmission. This series of WaterLOG instruments is designed to be mounted on the side of bridges or other enclosuresabove surface water. The rugged, innovative design was built for extreme environmental conditions—making this series ideal for tough to reach sites.www.waterlog.com/nile

ENVIRONETICS INC.Defender Tank Covers are custom manufactured from industrial grade materials to fit the profile of new or existing wastewater treatment tanks or potable water tanks. Odorous gas emissions from wastewater treatment facilities generate complaints from local residents and are subject to the Clean Air Act Amendments of 1990. Defender odor control covers contain volatile organic compounds at their source. Low-profile structurally supported covers minimize emission treatment volume to reduce the cost of air filtration equipment. Eliminate the ongoing expense of applying costly odor control chemicals through atomizer and misters.www.environeticsinc.com
