Eliminate the damaging effects of "Water Hammer"

A gradual reduction in the output torque of your pump motor is provided when a stop signal is initiated. When the motor output reaches a point where the check valve can be safely and gently closed, the Pump-FlexTM circuit automatically turns itself off.

Since no two pumps or pump applications are exactly the same, the exible settings of Pump-FlexTM decel control allow you to tailor the output to precisely match your application requirements. No need for external timers or auxiliary controls.
