Clean water cistern pumps
Franklin Electric Co. Inc’s C1 Series stainless steel submersible cistern pumps are designed for use in gray water/filtered effluent service applications, with the ability to pass solids up to 1/8-inch in diameter during normal operation without impacting the life of the pump. The C1 Series is constructed of a 304 stainless steel motor and outer shell with engineered polymer hydraulics providing corrosion resistance and abrasive handling.
Additional pump features: robust thermoplastic discharge head to avoid breakage during installation and operation, removable 5- inch wide base for secure and reliable mounting, motor lead connection is protected with a rubber boot and secured with a stainless steel strain relief, unique bottom suction design allows for maximum fluid drawdown without compromising durability or overall pump life. The C1 Series is available in flow ratings of 10, 20, and 30 gpm, with a maximum shut-off pressure of over 100 psi and is available with a high quality 115 V or 230 V, ½ hp motor.
High-power greenhouse lights
The Pro series equips growers with LED lights that output more red and blue in the essential PAR range than the industry’s most powerful conventional lighting systems. The Pro 650 light delivers 2X the red and blue PAR of a 1000 Watt HID light while it consumes 40 percent less energy. The Pro 325 provides red and blue PAR equivalent to that of a 1000 Watt HID light while it reduces energy consumption by a whopping 70 percent. In addition, LumiGrow lights run 70 percent cooler than high intensity discharge lights, eliminating plant damage and problems related to unmanaged greenhouse temperatures. By contrast, plants grow safely at any distance from LumiGrow lights. New sites see dramatically lower infrastructure costs because of reduced electrical requirements. LumiGrow lights also eliminate the need for ballasts and reflectors while they minimize cooling loads, accelerating your payback. Growers see electrical bills trimmed by approximately half, month after month, year after year.
Microbial insecticide
Preferal Microbial Insecticide is a naturally occurring fungus that infects both foliage and soil dwelling insects such as whiteflies, aphids, thrips, weevils, psyllids, leafminers, spider mites, mealybugs, and other pests. Preferal has several benefits including: provides efficacy as good or better than traditional insecticides, broad-spectrum activity on both foliar and soil insects, patented, highly virulent and effective strain, submerge fermented in the U.S. under highest QC and process control, contains blastospores, which germinate and infect faster, unique mode of action—highly effective for resistance management, easy to use and mix 20 percent WDG formulation, and little or no effect on beneficial insects
