PRODUCT OVERVIEW
Think of it as “Cruise Control” for your pump.
The Aquavar ABII+ pump controller provides an
economical answer for municipal and private water
systems with low water pressure. Both domestic and
light commercial above ground boosters can benet.
As water use increases, the controller changes pump
speed to maintain pressure. Large supply tanks are
eliminated and up to 50% of the energy required by a
full speed pump is saved.

• Maximum system pressure for 3AB2 with 100 PSI
Transducer is 85 PSI
• Maximum system pressure for 5AB2 with 100 PSI
Transducer is 100 PSI
• System Pressure is Suction (Incoming) Pressure plus
Pump "boost" Pressure. A pump that produces 50
PSI at 10 GPM with 30 PSI of suction pressure will
provide 10 GPM at 80 PSI (50 + 30) System Pressure.
Complete Systems: pump with pre-wired controller,
transducer with cable and tank tee are available. See
Aquavar ABII and ABII+ Systems Bulletin, BAQUABII+
for data and variable speed curves.
