Pressure and Temperature Switches for Water and Wastewater Treatment
Water treatment occurs before the water reaches a business or community, whereas wastewater treatment occurs after the business or community uses the water.
Water treatment has higher pollution control standards and necessitates more costly treatment procedures such as chemical coagulation and flocculation and the use of granular activated carbon filters. However, contaminant levels are usually low and predictable because most water goes through water treatment from a natural source (such as a river).
After a business or community uses water, it becomes wastewater and is in most cases returned to the environment after treatment. The treatment standards are typically lower than those used in drinking water facilities. Unlike water treatment, wastewater treatment does not usually take place in a single location. Certain enterprises with highly dirty wastewater must have their treatment system before delivering it to community wastewater treatment plants.
Temperature and pressure switches apply to many water and wastewater treatment processes at practically every stage. Water flow sensors and switches enable pump vibration control, handle slurry environments, monitor pressure spikes, and endure corrosive media, and address the application difficulties of water and wastewater treatment systems. CCS pressure switches are resilient to pump impulses, pressure spikes, and hammering thanks to Belleville disc spring technology, tight construction, and durable assembly.

Questtec Solutions Introduces New "Level Up" Online Magnetic Level Gauge Configurator
Questtec Solutions has released its new online 'QTS Level Up' product configurator, which includes millions of product combinations from its Magne-Trac series. The QTS Level Up configurator improves the user experience on Questtec's website by quickly allowing engineers to customize and download 3D models.
Questtec Solutions, a pioneer in liquid measurement innovation, provides high-quality products with dependable performance. The new QTS Level Up product configurator, currently available on the Questtec website, enables Questtec to complement its high-quality products with an equally remarkable digital customer experience.
The new tool assists engineers in swiftly locating a Questtec product and configuring it on the fly to meet project parameters. The configurator creates a product number and a 3D representation of the configured part, allowing Questtec clients to see the specific item they requested. Users can then test their application by downloading a free 3D model in their selected native CAD file (among 150+ 3D and 2D CAD formats).
Users can also receive a PDF product datasheet of the configured item in addition to on-demand CAD files. This PDF contains the configured product's technical specifications, the produced product number, and an interactive 3D preview.
Questtec Solutions has over 125 years of combined experience with liquid level gauge and valve product lines. Questtec Solutions, situated in Houston, Texas, can provide creative engineering solutions to satisfy our customers' demands thanks to a new state-of-the-art production facility and custom weld shop.
