REMOTE PUMP STATION ACCESS
Rain Bird’s user interface is a network ready design that allows for remote
access via PC, laptop, tablet, smart phone, or any web‑enabled mobile
device. These devices are simple to navigate, properly formats to the
screen of the device being used and allows for complete control and
monitoring of your golf Pump Station. This remote accessibility provides
Rain Bird customers the confidence to control their pumping systems
when they are away from the course.
ELECTRICAL DESIGN
Rain Bird® pump stations are built to UL508A standards and use the
industry’s best surge suppression reducing the risk of electronic
component damage that could lead to inconvenient and costly downtime.
This design includes full heavy‑duty circuit breaker integration providing
the ultimate protection with the best serviceability.
BACKUP PRESSURE REGULATION
Every station comes with an engineered design and properly sized
pressure relief valve to provide automatic pressure regulation in the event
of a failed VFD or stuck contactor.
VFD PER MOTOR VPM OPTION
Rain Bird offers the industry’s most comprehensive package upon request,
including a VFD for each main motor on a multi‑pump station. This option
offers superior motor protection along with no mechanical switching
components. It also provides a level of efficient backup pressure regulation
that a pressure relief valve or butterfly valve cannot deliver.
DURABLE POLYESTER POWDERCOATING
Rain Bird’s in‑house sandblasting system assures all exterior surfaces of the
pump station are prepared to specification standards and allowing for the
best coating adhesion. The polyester powder‑coat Rain Bird applies is far
more durable than competitive solvent‑based multi‑layer coatings. In fact,
Rain Bird’s powder‑coating process scores a 10 out of 10 on an ASTM
corrosion test provided by Sherwin Williams. Other industry pump
stations scored four (4) out of 10 on the very same test. In addition the
powder‑coating process is considered very environmentally friendly.
ENGINEERED PUMP STATION SKID DESIGN
Using 3D modeling, the channel steel skid frame is engineered for strength
and rigidity. This engineered design reduces the vibration and eliminates
the requirement for bulky oversized pumping plates which present
a hazard. The deck is the industry’s strongest and longest‑lasting by
providing the professional grade smooth steel plate continuously welded.
In addition, Rain Bird follows specifications of all station components such as
the proper flow meter flume requirements. No detail is overlooked on this
engineered solution.
ADVANCED CONTROLS
With the industry’s leading touch screens, Rain Bird continues to innovate
by offering the largest screen as a standard. Beyond being network ready,
this interface offers up to 20 years of historical memory capability, and USB
backup. With features such as filtration integration, water feature control,
lake level control, pump lockouts, auto set point adjustment per pump,
motor starts protection, and many many more, Rain Bird has been driving
pump station innovation in the Golf Industry for the last decade.
