Pump Control Devices, Applications and Systems

A pump control device for modulating the flow rate of a body of water pumped through a conduit by a fixed speed pump comprising;

• a drive converter configured to alter the operation of a pump drive driving the fixed speed pump to enable the selection of the speed of the fixed speed pump,
• the drive converter operably connected to a central processing unit,
• the central processing unit adapted to receive information detected by a flow rate sensor and to receive instructions for altering the operation of the pump drive from a software application,
• the software application configured to receive input from a user via a graphical user interface and input values from the central processing unit, to perform a calculation for adjusting the input values, and configured to display the input values and output values resulting from the calculation via the graphical user interface,
• the software application adapted to display the graphical user interface on a display, and the drive converter adapted to alter the operation of the pump drive according to the output values resulting from the calculation.
