Shadow
Pump Stations
Description
 | All equipment is mounted on an aluminum skid and protected by the Shadow Enclosure System. |
| All equipment contained within the enclosure is resistant to the weather and can be located outdoors without damage to the components. The equipment resists rain, wind driven rain, and sprayed water. The enclosure is not required to protect the equipment against water or weather, but the enclosure adds additional resistance to the elements. |
| The Shadow Enclosure system has many desirable features and advantages over fiberglass and other types of enclosures. Irrigation Craft pioneered fiberglass enclosures in the 1980s, and many companies copied our product. Irrigation Craft no longer builds fiberglass enclosures because we developed the Shadow Enclosure System which is superior to fiberglass. |

Shadow Pump Station Features
UL® Listed as a "Packaged Pumping System"
All Irrigation Craft pump stations are listed under UL QCZJ - "Packaged Pumping Systems". Check out the competition, do they state that ALL their stations are UL® listed? If not, ask them why.
The engineer can design the pump station or allow Irrigation Craft to design the pump station. Either way, Irrigation Craft will list the entire pump station with Underwriters Laboratories as a Packaged Pumping System.

Resistant to Dust and Sprayed Water
|
The electrical control panel is built into a NEMA 4X rated electrical enclosure. NEMA 4 means that Underwriters Laboratories has tested the equipment to verify that directed sprayed water will not penetrate the electrical enclosure. The X means that the equipment is resistant to corrosion. |
|
The NEMA 4 rating is not only an indication of resistance to sprayed water, but vermin such as insects cannot enter the equipment. |
|
All pump motors are TEFC (Totally Enclosed Fan Cooled). Follow the link below to learn more about TEFC motors. |
Controls
| Clock Demand |
| Pressure Demand - (Pressure On/Flow Off), High Side Monitoring |
| Hybrid - Low pressure at all times, high pressure on Clock Demand. This option is selected for special applications such as older PVC pipe systems, Large systems, systems with large elevation changes, systems supplied from expensive water sources (Caribbean Islands, South & Central America). |
| UL Listed - UL® 508A, "Enclosed Industrial Control Panels |

Other Options
| Irrigation Controllers - As required by specifier or owner. Controllers are pre-wired to the field and supplied with surge protected power source in the station control panel. |
| Flow Meter - Standard meter is SeaMetrics turbine with Ruby Bearings, digital indication of flow rate, flow total, and outputs for central controls and automation systems. Optional Insertion Magnetic Flow Meter is available. |
| Chemical Injection - Includes injection pump and chemical storage tank, all enclosed by the Shadow enclosure system. |
Additional Features & Advantages
-
UL® Listed Control Panel - All Irrigation Craft control panels are UL Listed under UL 508A - Enclosed Industrial Control Panels.
-
High Side Monitoring - Every Shadow pump equipped with a pressure control valve and operated as a Pressure On / Flow Off system includes High Side Monitoring to maintain a steady and even pressure on the PVC Plastic mainline to prevent pressure cycling, which is the leading cause of PVC mainline failures.
-
Fuseless - All Irrigation Craft pump stations and control panels are fuseless. Circuit breakers only are used.
