Our vision when designing the SubDrive family was to create an easy-to-install solution to upgrade traditional jobs and get the best performance out of pumping systems. Now, we’re enhancing the experience with exciting new options that are immediately available:

 

SubDrive QuickPAK Constant Pressure Package Now with SubDrive Utility™ VFD Option

The SubDrive QuickPAK is a popular system-solution package designed to simplify the installation of a constant pressure system. Now, installers can choose a package that includes a SubDrive Utility VFD for three-phase systems from 0.5 to 2 horsepower and covering flows from 5 to 25 gpm. SubDrive Utility VFDs offer a more compact overall footprint than traditional water systems while providing the added value of constant water pressure and built-in motor protection. SubDrive QuickPAK systems also include a pump and motor that are optimized for the system. View ordering information here.
