Aimed predominantly at homeowners and small businesses who have either already invested in their own borehole technology - or plan to do so in the future - the SCOUT electronic control panel enables easy remote metering and monitoring.

Available exclusively through Geoquip Water Solutions, the new low-cost panel is around half the size of traditional panels and uses smartphone wi-fi technology to transform a standard pumping system into a smart system. It means owners and operators can simply dial into the control panel to read the latest statistics, double check alarms and monitor data.

Capable of managing up to three pumps simultaneously, it is suitable for applications with surface pumps, pressurisation pumps, deep well pumps and submersible pumps.

The control panel has a 100m range and comes fitted with a series of alarms and real-time calibrations, while its compact shape, the box is just 195mm x 145mm x 80mm, makes it easy to manage.

Geoquip also offers larger industrial customers the SMART EVO 1 and 2 Panel as an entry-level panel, which combines the functions of panels for clean water (emptying, filling and pressurisation) with those of sewage pump panels (emptying and sewage water).

Suitable for customisation to meet specific requirements, it is described as the "most complete control panel for sewage and pumping systems." It includes LED signalling voltage presence, thermal protection and motor running, push buttons for manual or automatic operation, and level relay for probes volt free alarm contacts.
