Pumping systems account for nearly 25% of all industrial energy consumption in North America, according to the U.S. Department of Energy (DOE), yet much of that energy is wasted due to inefficient control methods. It's time to stop treating your pumps as simple on/off devices and start protecting them with intelligent control.

Join us for a session exploring the latest motor control technology, and learn how your organization can achieve significant operational and financial benefits. This webinar will cover:

  • Motor Starting & Control Methods: Understand the full spectrum of motor control options—from traditional contactors and soft starters to variable frequency drives (VFDs).
  • A Clear Comparison: See a direct comparison of how VFDs outperform other motor control methods in efficiency, data collection and pump protection.
  • Advanced VFD Benefits: Discover how intelligent VFD features prevent common causes of pump damage (like dry runs and clogging), enable predictive maintenance and unlock maximum energy savings.
  • Real-World Success Story: Hear how a midsized municipality cut energy costs and reduced maintenance calls by implementing a modern VFD strategy across their water and wastewater systems.

Whether designing new systems or optimizing existing ones, this webinar will equip you with the knowledge to make smarter motor control decisions that protect your pumps, reduce costs and dramatically improve performance.
