Godwin Smart Pumps
The Godwin S Series provides an example of Xylem's commitment to offer
products that support environmental sustainability. All diesel-powered S
Series pumps will be equipped with Final Tier 4 engines that reduce emissions
by 90 percent and decrease fuel consumption by 10 percent on average.

Xylem has introduced to the United States market the first of a
new series of "smart" dewatering
pumps.
The Godwin NC150S DriPrime pump is the first in the new
Godwin "S" Series and features
Godwin's Field Smart Technology.
This first-in-industry telemetry
and wireless technology provides
remote monitoring and control of
the pump from any smartphone,
tablet or desktop computer, according to Kevin Snow, Godwin
global product manager.
"Cellular and satellite connectivity, and GPS enable the tracking,
monitoring and control of the
pump in real-time, wherever it is
located," Snow explained. "Imagine the value of not having to send
someone to the construction site
or lift station in the middle of the
night, or over the weekend, to see
if the pump is running properly, or
to check fuel levels."
The Godwin NC150S is available
now for purchase or rent from Xylem's 56 rental and service branches across the U.S., as well as from

its extensive distributor network.
Godwin's S Series pump features Xylem's Flygt N-Technology, which has been proven as an
unmatched, non-clog impeller in
more than 300,000 locations globally over the past 20 years.
"With self-cleaning reliability
and sustained hydraulic efficiency," said Snow, "the proprietary
non-clog technology ensures peak
pump performance, even in the
most challenging wastewater
applications."

Power
The NC150S diesel model is powered by a 62-horsepower Isuzu
4LE2X Final Tier 4 diesel engine.
This 6-inch pump also is available in 74-horsepower FT4 diesel
engines provided by John Deere
and JCB. The units are available
on skids, trailers and with sound
attenuated enclosures.
Snow added that smart design
and manufacturing practices mean
that all of the diesel engines and
electric motors available on the
Godwin NC150S deliver more
uptime, with product reliabili-

ty increased by an average of 20
percent.
The NC150S also features extended maintenance intervals and
reduced service time - by 40 percent on average.
"For example, there is no need
to separate the pump from the
engine for compressor belt service, making it a simple 30-minute task," said Snow. "A new
cartridge-type, mechanical seal
reduces installation and set-up
time. An optimally placed sight
glass makes it easy to tell when oil
needs replacing, and a 25 percent
increase in pump shaft diameter
enables longer pump life."

"The NC150S is a best-in-class,

ern wastewater," Snow said. "It has
built-in intelligence to optimize
performance and maximize uptime. Its unrivaled efficiency and
reliability mean that customers

comes their way, this smart pump
solution is equipped to handle it,
