Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a pump system including a pump and a liquid detection sensor or a flow sensor for sensing liquid presence or liquid flow. The water pump system also includes a controller that interfaces with the liquid detection sensor or flow sensor and uses data from the liquid detection sensor or the flow sensor to prevent the pump from being damaged under a run-dry condition.
Claims33
A pump system comprising:
- a pump;
- a liquid detection sensor mounted to the pump for detecting the presence of liquid within the pump;
- and
- a controller that interfaces with the liquid detection sensor and prevents power from being provided to a motor of the pump when the liquid detection sensor indicates insufficient liquid within the pump.
1 more element
A pump system comprising:
- a pump;
- a flow sensor for sensing liquid flow in the pump or through a flow path in fluid communication with the pump;
- and
- a controller that interfaces with the flow sensor and terminates power to a motor of the pump when the flow sensor generates flow data indicative of the pump running dry.
