  • Features and Benefits

    • Designed for Water Systems, Optimized for Constant Pressure: Designed specifically for water pumping applications, SubDrive & MonoDrive deliver unique features:
    • Provides consistent water pressure across a system, eliminating fluctuations
    • Soft start maximizes system life
    • Advanced filtering to remove radio frequency interference
    • Additional built-in protections include:
    • Underload (Dry-run) with customizable sensitivity
    • Overload / Locked pump
    • Output short circuit and open circuit
    • Undervoltage
    • Electrical surge
    • Overheated controller
    • Simple Installation: Easy-to-install drive; most applications require the simple flip of one switch, saving significant time during installation.
    • Versatility for Multiple Applications:
    • From SubDrive75 thru SubDrive300, SubDrive (NEMA 4) models are designed to provide constant pressure for three-phase motors using single-phase input power for 1-1/2 – 5 hp jobs.
    • MonoDrive and MonoDriveXT (NEMA 4) are designed to convert a conventional ½ hp to 2 hp, single-phase, 3-wire pump system into a constant pressure system by simply replacing the control box and pressure switch.
    • Smaller Footprint, Smarter Use of Space:
    • Compact design, that is ideal for wall-mounting, works with small pressure tanks or existing larger tanks
    • Ideal for demanding applications since the self-contained NEMA 4 enclosures (rated for indoor or outdoor use) offer robust protection against harsh environmental conditions
    • Fully Supported: Comes fully supported by the industry-leading technical support professionals and field service engineers
