Waterous’ Revolutionary Foam Firefighting Technology Heads To The UK
Orz, England
Waterous Company, a global leader in fire suppression technology, recently announced the unveiling of the new Advantus™ foam system for the UK. The Advantus, unlike most volume measurement proportioners, uses conductivity-based technology to deliver a precise ratio of foam and water for more accurate and reliable CAFS performance.
“We are changing the paradigm on how proportioners regulate foam to water ratios,” says Peter Ledgar, Europe, M.East and Africa Sales Manager for Waterous. “Unlike volume-based proportioning systems, the Advantus is more reliable, more accurate and more efficient.” The Advantus uses electrical conductivity measurements of the incoming water and foam solution including measured water flow to provide highly accurate and consistent mix ratios within the specified flows and pressures. “It optimizes foam usage through sample measurements,” says Mr. Ledgar. “Even if an inferior water or foam concentrate is utilized, the Advantus will make the appropriate adjustments to deliver the most effective and economic foam solution, even in ultra low-flow conditions.”
Currently the Company offers a choice of two models. The Advantus 3, which is capable of pumping 3 GPM of concentrate and the Advantus 6, which is capable of pumping 6 GPM, both deliver available pressure up to 450 PSI. Both models include water and foam flow meters with total flow displays. All models are available in either 12-volts or 24-volts.
A giant leap forward in foam fighting technology, the Advantus also features more advanced engineering. “The foam pump design allows proportioning of higher, viscosity foam concentrates and features a more durable construction that prevents damage from corrosion or impurities in the foam concentrate supply,” says Mr. Ledgar. “The new proportioner is a revolution in foam fire fighting technology and gives fire departments the advantage they need to fight dangerous fires.”
