Water Treatment
Pump controls are essential for automating fluid handling systems across industries like water treatment, chemical processing, oil and gas, and manufacturing. By using flow switches or flow sensors, pump controls ensure pumps operate only when flow is present—protecting equipment from dry running, optimizing chemical dosing, and improving energy efficiency. Thomas Products’ pump control solutions offer plug-and-play reliability, especially in systems requiring accurate flow-based activation, such as chlorination, chemical feed, and well water management.

Application
Pump controls play a vital role in the water treatment industry, offering precise monitoring and activation for processes like chemical injection, chlorination, and water purification. At Thomas Products, our flow switches and flow sensors serve as dependable alternatives to traditional pressure sensors. Unlike pressure-based systems that may activate even when no water is present, our pump controller flow switches respond immediately to actual flow conditions—ensuring pumps only run when water is truly moving through the system.
Our patented plug-and-play pump controller sensors have been trusted for years in leading water systems, including Culligan® setups, where they're used alongside chemical feed pumps to inject chlorine and other treatment chemicals. This ensures the chemical pump operates only when water flow is detected—eliminating the risk of dry runs or chemical over-injection that can occur when using pressure switches alone. Whether it's a float switch for a water tank, a water flow sensor switch, or a liquid level sensor for monitoring tank levels, Thomas Products delivers reliable, industrial-grade solutions for a wide range of water purification needs.
Our solutions are ideal for municipal water treatment, industrial water systems, and even well water management—ensuring accurate flow detection in real-time. From non-contact level sensors, liquid level switches, and float switches to inline flow switches and water tank level indicators, we offer scalable and highly durable technologies to meet the stringent requirements of the water and wastewater industry.

Water Treatment Plants
In water treatment systems, pump controls using flow switches ensure chemical feed pumps activate only when water is flowing—preventing dry runs and overdosing. This improves safety, reduces chemical waste, and protects equipment. Thomas Products’ pump controllers offer reliable, plug-and-play performance for accurate and efficient fluid handling.

Irrigation Systems
In irrigation systems, pump controls use flow switches to activate water delivery only when flow is detected, not just based on pressure. This prevents dry runs, ensures efficient water use, and protects pumps from damage—making them ideal for agricultural and landscape applications.
