It is in the interest of regulators, engineers, contractors, architects and system owners to find the most efficient paths to pump system solutions. The rising tide of standards plays a significant role in elevating the performance, reliability and quality of pump systems — minimizing the trial and error it often takes to arrive at the solutions best suited for the application. However, some standards stand out for the magnitude of their impact.

The board of directors will provide organizational oversight to HI and guide the direction of its strategic plan.

Circulator Energy Rating labels are only applied to the most efficient circulator pumps in the market. The higher the Energy Rating, the more savings the circulators can provide the end-user.

PSAP candidates are able to schedule the exam on any day or time and will have a live proctor administer the certification exam.

Free to all as a downloadable work tool, the Pump Savings Calculator factors the impacts of potential energy savings, based on the HI Energy Rating, alongside other variables, such as initial cost, installation, maintenance, etc.

Companies can subscribe to the platform as a general planning resource or utilize the webinars and other tools for the training, development or on-boarding of its professionals.

As vice president of education, Swetye is responsible for leading educational initiatives within the Hydraulic Institute.

HI launched its Energy Rating Program in 2018 to make it easy for manufacturers and distributors to communicate energy efficiency, support power utilities in the development and operation of energy efficiency programs and help end users identify pumps that offer energy and cost-saving benefits.

Three new members have joined the Board of Directors for three-year terms.

The Hydraulic Institute (HI) continues to develop a robust portfolio supporting pump system efficiency.
