(DeBary, Florida) — Quantum Flo, the world’s leading manufacturer of pre-packaged pump systems for commercial and industrial plumbing applications, will be attending the ASHRAE 2012 Winter Conference in Chicago to showcase its eco-friendly line of pre-packaged pump systems, widely used in commercial and industrial HVAC&R applications.

The American Society of Heating, Refrigerating and Air-Conditioning Engineers (ASHRAE) holds this yearly industry event to bring vendors, manufacturers and technology developers into a location where they can exhibit, educate and deliver technical presentations to thousands of attendees.

This industry event is of great importance to QuantumFlo since this Central Florida manufacturer produces a pre-packaged pumping system designed specifically for HVAC applications that boast increased efficiency and eco-friendly features.

Furthermore, QuantumFlo’s HVAC pumps feature EATON Corporation-brand electrical components to include circuit breakers, disconnects, power supply, terminals, programmable logic controller and HMI (human machine interface)—all thanks to its strategic partnership with EATON Corporation, a global developer of diversified power management solutions exhibiting at ASHRAE 2012.

QuantumFlo President, David Carrier, will be present at the EATON Corporation exhibit on Booth #4768 to interact with attendees and potential customers seeking expert opinion about pre-packaged pump systems and solutions offered to this industry.

“This is a great opportunity to meet current and potential customers who are interested in innovative products”, says Mr. Carrier. “Our pump systems are designed to outlast the plumbing or HVAC systems they support, giving customers peace of mind.”

Based on its reputation in the HVAC&R industry, QuantumFlo has been granted the opportunity to present its products and solutions at the EATON Corporation booth to a captive audience of engineers, developers and system integrators who seek to learn the latest and greatest HVAC&R applications and technology.

As a leader in the industry, QuantumFlo is also one of several organizations in the U.S. qualified as an “EATON Corporation Panel Builder”, which allows them to build control panels under the EATON Corporation brand as a UL508A Industrial Controls Manufacturer.

Partnered with EATON Corporation for ASHRAE 2012, QuantumFlo is Showcasing their HVAC Pump Systems.

About 10-15 years ago, the plumbing industry was able to pressurize buildings and maintain that pressure through the use of constant speed pumps with hydraulically-controlled pressure maintenance valves.  In hindsight, this was incredibly inefficient, but innovation has its way of making old technology obsolete very quickly.

In 2010, the industry began a bold move toward energy conservation as a way to achieve sustainability goals and the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1 for energy efficiency essentially outlawed the use of constant speed pump systems in commercial and high-rise buildings. Such a standard for energy efficiency is now included in the LEED carbon-footprint vernacular.

(Read more about the ANSI/ASHRAE/IES Standard 90.1 for energy efficiency by following this link.)

If you walk any water-related trade show you will see this dramatic change in pressure control in many manufacturers that are now on-board with variable speed pressure control. There is no going backward now as constant speed pressure control is like driving a horse and buggy down Main Street when compared to variable speed. The best part about all of this innovation is that we saw this trend long before it became trendy or even recognized for its incredible energy efficiency.

That said, QuantumFlo is the first manufacturer to develop an ENTIRE product line for variable speed control, rather than converting a constant speed product line to work with variable speed drives.  And this is what sets us apart from our contemporaries. As someone who was involved in the market since 1982, I began to see the move toward variable speed drives in the late 1980’s and the 1990’s, predominant in the HVAC business, but non-existent in regulating pressure in plumbing systems.

In 2001, as a global sales manager at a controls company in Chicago, I began researching this emerging market and by 2003, I decided that I would jump in with both feet, developing a pressure booster product line with variable speed control, rather than constant speed with hydraulic control.  At that time, we didn’t even offer a constant speed product, electing to offer a variable speed alternative even though the system may have been designed the old way.

After seeing the need to change the market and the entire pressure booster industry, QuantumFlo was conceived based on a world of opportunity in the horizon. I then decided to leave that other company in 2007 and struck out on my own to develop, innovate and promote the product that I was so passionate about back in 2001.  I was immediately joined by 85 percent of my U.S. representatives from that previous venture on Day One—that’s how revolutionary QuantumFlo became.

All of these hard-working industry experts joined me in believing that the future of the market began with variable speed pressure control.  Today, QuantumFlo is the undisputed industry leader in variable-speed pumping systems and the innovator of the PID controlled plumbing system—and there is no other company in the industry with the breadth of experience and credentials to help engineers and contractors, size, select and install these systems.

This is one of many more blog articles from QuantumFlo, developed to help you understand the opportunity, benefits, advantages and value of our innovative products. I hope you enjoy the information and market intelligence these blogs have to offer and invite you to contact me personally to learn more about everything our company has to offer. I welcome your feedback and questions—and remember that we are here to help promote this exceptional new technology that brings a new solution to an old problem in the industry.

Florida-Based QuantumFlo is Awarded NSF 61 and Low Lead Certification by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials  

(DeBary, Florida) — QuantumFlo, the world’s leading manufacturer of pre-packaged pump systems for commercial and industrial plumbing applications, has been awarded the prestigious NSF 61/ANSI Standard 61 and Low Lead Compliance certification by the International Association of Plumbing and Mechanical Officials (IAPMO) for its ability to control the manufacturing quality of portable water system components.

The National Sanitation Foundation’s Standard 61 certification is a coveted accreditation by U.S. manufacturers of plumbing devices that process water for human consumption, which tests and evaluates its ability to shield them from contaminants that can lead to human health issues, in accordance with the American National Standards Institute (ANSI).

NSF 61 is an arduous certification process that evaluates all materials used on the manufacturing, the processes involved, validation from suppliers and vendors, and a thorough inspection of the manufacturer’s facilities that includes a toxicology evaluation—all designed to ensure that the products manufactures follow the highest quality and performance in the industry.

In addition to NSF 61, QuantumFlo has also been accredited with Low Lead Certification as required by Federal Legislation S.3874—a mandatory requirement that closely mirrors guidelines adopted by California in 2006 which asks manufacturers to reduce the weighted average amount of lead content that is acceptable in plumbing products carrying drinking water to a maximum of 0.25 percent.

As a manufacturer of pre-packaged pump systems and related equipment, QuantumFlo’s certification enhances its already widely-recognized leadership, providing end users with expert validation regarding the sanitary protection level of its products.

IAPMO is an independent, nationally recognized ANSI-certified third party testing organization recognized by the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency and Health Canada—two of North America’s premier government agencies tasked with the protection of the environment and human health.

Recent health scares about pandemics and disease outbreaks have made news because of the threat they pose to public health and NSF 61 certifies that the engineering and workmanship of QuantumFlo products is up to the challenge—reassuring its customers that they are dealing with a manufacturer who is proactive about mitigating potential health threats.

QuantumFlo’s complete product line of commercial and industrial pre-packaged pumps are covered under NSF 61 and the company and additional information on the performance and certifications of its products is available at the company’s blog at http://blog.quantumflo.com.
