Lawn Sprinkler Pump End Kits

Posted on by leslie5677

To better serve the clean water market, Franklin Electric is expanding the popular TurfBoss product line.

After an addition of 3 & 5 hp  pumps earlier this year,  the TurfBoss Lawn Sprinkler Pump line is being expanded again,  by adding pump end kits to the Residential/Light Commercial brands in 1, 1.5, and 2 hp. Not all applications require the same motor traditionally sold on the sprinkler pump. A TurfBoss Pump End Kit allows the installer increased flexibility, to better meet the needs of their customers.

The TurfBoss Pump End Kits can be found in each individual brand catalog, in the TurfBoss section in Franklin Electric’s online document library, on our Web site at www.franklin-electric.com or by following the links below:

SubDrive/MonoDrive Labeling Changes

Posted on by leslie5677

As we continue to improve our products, changes will be applied to the labeling in the SubDrive/MonoDrive product line to help installers with Installation and Troubleshooting.

1. A new bright orange and black sticker/label will be placed inside the access cover across the motor output terminal block.

2. The fault code label has been updated to include new fault codes and reformatted in such a way as to only require one label for the entire product line.

3. The Switch Configuration labels have also been modified to better convey the proper configuration, based on pump and motor combination. This label will be moved from the back of the access cover to the fan cover, below the circuit board for Nema 4 excluding the SD300. The NEMA 1 Switch Configuration label location will not change.

These changes allow the consolidation of the number of labels currently being produced, enable all drives to have common labeling, providing troubleshooters with a standard label.
