Waterous launched a new Pressure Governor, which automatically regulates the discharge pressure at the level set by the operator within +/-2.5% of full-scale, providing more accurate control.

The Pressure Governor operates in one of two control modes, ‘PRESSURE’ or ‘RPM.’ Both modes provide steady pump discharge pressure by either controlling the engine speed or by holding a selected engine RPM. Discharge pressure or engine RPM do not vary when switching between modes.

The Pressure Governor is available in ruggedized push button or Vernier throttle models. Both are designed to be easily operated with gloved hands.

Product features include:
