In autumn, the winding roads of New York Route 17 are popular among tourists who enjoy the scenic drive through the Catskill Mountains, taking in the beauty of changing fall foliage. It’s easy to get swept up in the scenic beauty in the region, but the rolling hills present the challenge of reliably pumping water to residential areas.
Xylem’s Goulds Water Technology experts teamed up with distributors D&S Pump and Supply Co. and Foley’s Pump Service to solve repeated random pump failure issues in a nearby Connecticut community. The drive was faulting out on a phase loss, which is similar to a drive running a pump and a motor when unexpectedly one of the legs of incoming power becomes lost or disconnected.
