Body care, including showering and bathing, is the biggest water consuming activity within domestic households, accounting for around 40% of daily consumption. In a bid to make showering more water efficient, Danish start-up company Flow Loop designed the ‘LOOP’ – a sustainable yet luxurious recycling shower solution that reduces water consumption by 80%.

Operators of one of the largest coal fired power plants in the US based in Michigan, were looking for an efficient, robust and reliable pumping solution to move sludge water from each of the plant’s four sumps.

Xylem Rental Solutions helped a North Carolina community restore water service quickly during the COVID-19 outbreak with a temporary replacement, using a Flygt submersible pump, after a permanent pump failed.

An inspection of the pump showed that the internals had been severely damaged by overheating. The plant operators arranged for the pump to be repaired off-site at Xylem’s Morton Grove facility before being returned for recommissioning.

Working with Xylem UK, PolyPump proposed to replace the historic booster set with a fully automatic GHV series booster set. The series is typically used for water supply and pressure increase in commercial and industrial facilities, municipalities and large-scale settings such as apartment buildings and hotels.

This pioneering pump turns feedstock like cheap sugar into clean-burning ethanol fuel that emits far less greenhouse gases into the atmosphere than oil-based gasoline. It’s designed to be installed in household driveways and the parking lots of small businesses.

There is one thing that Xylem shares with the greatest engineering innovators, and that is continuous investment into new product development. This can been seen at the spectacular development of the Burj Khalifa in Dubai – the world’s tallest manmade structure.

For 34 years, Steve and Lana Gleason made due without a traditional residential water system. The couple, who live in the rural logging community of Jewell, Oregon, pumped water for washing from a nearby river and made 40-mile round trips from their home to haul drinking water from a spring.

High-quality drinking water often alludes residents in these remote areas, where hooking into the municipal water supply can be difficult and cost-prohibitive. With the help of the Water Supply Costs Savings Act signed into law in 2016, nonprofit efforts like Xylem Watermark and Hometown H2O are increasing the use of cost-effective alternatives such as water well systems.

The culturing of mussels and oysters for the company takes place in the Oosterschelde, an almost 100,000 acre (37,000 hectare) tidal wetland that is part of the North Sea. The Oosterschelde is the largest national park in the Netherlands and an important fishing ground for mussels, oysters, flatfish and crabs.

To solve the groundwater problems, the EAA and United States Agency for International Development created the Pyramids Plateau Groundwater Lowering Project. Hydrotech evaluated the project and selected Xylem’s Goulds Water Technology products as the best solution for the groundwater problem.

Located in the rolling hills of eastern Pennsylvania, Galen Glen produces award-winning, handcrafted red, white and sparkling wines. However, in order for the vineyard to grow grapes in this environment, a reliable water source is required to supplement the rainfall.

Since swimming pools and shower facilities are important considerations when campers are selecting a destination, StoneyBrook Estates Campground wanted to ensure that its 30,000-gallon swimming pool and shower house were functioning effectively and efficiently.

When Paint/Elk Township Sewage Plant installed a Goulds Water Technology submersible effluent pump in the spring of 1991, they would be set for the next two decades.

Over time, the irrigation, pressure boosting and flow control systems at Quaker Hill Country Club became problematic and the grounds crew was only able to water one green or fairway at a time. The possibility of a pump failure forced the staff to monitor the pump continuously while in operation to ensure they shut it down before it ran dry.

The Catskill Mountains make for beautiful scenery but the rolling hills present the challenge of reliably pumping water to residential areas. Xylem’s Goulds Water Technology Aquavar Intelligent Pump Controller, and the help of distributor D&S Pump and Supply Co., and installer Foley’s Pump Service ensure water reaches a Connecticut community.

As the level of national awareness for the need to protect our nation’s water resources continued to grow, federal and state regulators pursued a consent decree in 2006 requiring enhancements to Buffalo’s collection system.

Emergency Shutoff Drive enhances safety of chlorine gas applications for Europe’s largest municipal swimming pool operator

The REGEN-IA project, built on the Xylem Vue platform, aims to integrate, govern, and leverage ESAMUR’s operational information within a single environment.
