Automatic Water Drain System
Available for STS Series and Select FPS Series Fuel Polishing & Tank Cleaning Systems
Example of Auto Water Drain
Option in the STS 7003 System
Showing Both Manual Drain and
the AWD Pump and Screen
The Automatic Water Drain System cannot be used on any system whose primary power is 12 volt or 24 volt.
How it Works
When the water level in the filter bowl accumulates to the point that the contacts sensor in the bowl completes a close circuit, the Controller alerts the AWD pump and the water is deposited into a 15 gallon capacity waste water drum. A cleanable screen is located between the filter bowl and the pump to catch any coarse debris before it would pass through the pump. When the water recedes to a lower level, the pump stops.

Components
in an FPS Compact System
The waste water drum has a float switch to prevent operation if the waste drum reaches its holding capacity. Should a high water level alert occurs, but the barrel has reached capacity, inter-connectivity with the main System Controller will shut down operation and provide an alert that the System requires operator attention.
The Auto Water Drain Option is Standard on the SFC-70 & 80 Controllers, as well as the TSC-70 & 80 Controllers. Existing systems will require upgrade to the appropriate system Controller to be retrofitted with the Automatic Water Drain option.
