Vivax-Metrotech Corp. Vivax-Metrotech offers the tracer gas leak detector HL5000-H2, which can also be used with acoustic sensors. This leak pinpointing system saves the cost of having a second device. Its ease of use and special features make it a versatile instrument suitable for the toolbox of anybody in the leak detection business. Use of tracer gas—proven in the industry—is often the last option to find very small or difficult water leaks even in low-pressure situations. The same techniques can be applied to other utilities without interrupting any supply.www.vivax-metrotech.com

Smith & Loveless The exclusive design of the Smith & Loveless (S&L) Non-Clog Pump lends itself to significant energy efficiency savings for wastewater and stormwater pumping. S&L Non-Clog Pump design features an oversized, stainless steel pump shaft that minimizes overhang, resulting in significantly less shaft deflection and greater pump efficiencies. Close tolerances are in all cases tighter than NEMA specifications. The impeller is also designed for maximum efficiency. By trimming the impellers inside the shrouds, the S&L pump leaves the back shroud full diameter to prevent stringy material from winding around the shaft.www.smithandloveless.com

Aquarius Spectrum Ltd. The iQuarius smartphone leak detection solution combines an Android app with acoustic widget, a sensor that creates a powerful system that can perform the following: Pipe listening–allows listening and recording of low-frequency sound vibrations. Acoustic survey–a GIS-based acoustic logging that measures the vibration intensity in water pipes. The noise is recorded and sent to the server for analysis. Acoustic correlation–enables correlation between two mobile sensors, allowing the user to pinpoint the exact location of a leak. iQuarius is ideal for service teams that can use it for both leak surveys and pinpointing. The iQuarius app is available on Google Play.www.aquarius-spectrum.com

Xylem Inc. High-accuracy, simple SDI-12 communication and advanced design are just a few features of the new WaterLOG Nile Series (Nile 502, Nile 504, Nile 517) radar water level sensors, released this week by WaterLOG—a Xylem brand. The Nile series operates based on the time-of-flight method. Radar impulses are emitted by an antenna, reflected off the product (water surface), and received again by the radar system. This provides the most precise measurement data in water level applications requiring non-contact transmission. This series of WaterLOG instruments is designed to be mounted on the side of bridges or other enclosures above surface water. The rugged, innovative design was built for extreme environmental conditions—making this series ideal for tough-to-reach sites.www.waterlog.com/nile

The Toro Co. The Toro Co. is adding five new 0.75-inch rotor models to its best-selling T5 RapidSet Series rotor product line. This includes the Shrub, Shrub Effluent, 12-inch High Pop, 12-inch High Pop Effluent, and Lawn Effluent models. The tool-free arc adjustment of the patent-pending RapidSet feature allows the arc orientation and angle to be quickly set or changed through a straightforward combination of twists of the nozzle turret. The T5 RapidSet rotor’s unique slip clutch makes the no tools arc adjustment possible, while also protecting the turret gears and components from damage. The rotor can be adjusted to cover arcs of 40–360 degrees. Similar to the T5 RapidSet lawn model, which was introduced early last year, the Shrub and High Pop models also feature Toro’s Airfoil Technology nozzles. The nozzles’ geometries are specially designed for the T5 and create a low-pressure zone just beneath the nozzle openings, which delivers a better up-close watering profile and leading overall distribution uniformity.www.toro.com/T5
