Franklin Constant Pressure Controllers

Constant pressure systems are changing the standard for private well systems all over the country. A private water well is one of the best sources of water for your home, but just as in municipal water systems, water pressure may sometimes be insufficient for the changing demands of the home. If you have a problem with water pressure in your home, you may have noticed that your washing machine fills more slowly when your dishwasher is running, or that your shower sputters when your sprinkler turns on. You don’t like it, but you live with it.

The Franklin SubDrive

For 3/4 1 1-1/2 and 3 HP 4" 3-Phase Submersible Pumps

Franklin Electric’s SubDrive constant pressure controller provides constant pressure by continually adjusting the speed of the pump to match water demand. Instead of draining and filling a large tank, a SubDrive system pumps more or less water as you need it. Finally, you’ll be able to run the dishwasher, do laundry and water the lawn – all at the same time!
