Our well-known Autotrol range is now equipped with the cutting-edge Autotrol Easy-iQ controller The Autotrol 255, and the Autotrol Performa 263/268, 269 and 278 are now fitted with a brand new Autotrol Easy-iQ controller.

Our mission at Pentair is unique. While distinguishing us from the competition, it recounts the activity of our brands and the stories experienced by each of our market segments. Today, to better share this mission with our customers and communicate our solutions to them with greater proximity, our brand visual system is evolving.

Miridon is one of the largest water treatment companies in Estonia. With a background in industrial water treatment plants, it recognised early the need for reliable domestic water treatment in a region associated with water high in iron and hardness. Residential water softening and water filtration became a target for the business. The company researched the valve market and quickly concluded that there was one stand-out contender for this new enterprise: Autotrol.

We wrote recently about the Pentair strategic decision to establish a production line for WellMate, its flagship pressure boosting vessel, at its tank manufacturing plant in Herentals in Belgium. The relocation had many upsides for European customers. These included a considerably reduced lead time for orders, more stock availability, better alignment with European Directives for pressure equipment and ultimately a lower carbon footprint as local manufacturing considerably reduces the emissions generated by shipping containers of empty tanks across the Atlantic.

How do you choose a product? Quality, reliability, availability and, of course, price all score high in procurement surveys. Surprisingly few mention ‘regulatory compliance’. Possibly because it can be taken for granted – especially in the highly regulated water treatment industry in which we operate.

Here we review the good progress being made towards achieving the Pentair social responsibility strategic targets and showcase how its European operations are playing their part. Pentair has a long history of innovation that has made a positive impact on people and the planet. The decisions we make, the products we create, the solutions we offer, and the partnerships we form, are opportunities to make the world better. We believe that making life better for people and the planet, through smart, sustainable, water solutions, is essential. Indeed, the belief in ‘Making Better Essential’ now guides our social responsibility efforts and programme.

The Fleck turbine meter may be a tiny component, but it has a huge story to tell. This small yet vital sub-assembly is fitted to most Fleck residential valves and it measures the volume of water which passes through them, informing the valve controller of the optimal time for regeneration. That refresh only happens as and when it is needed, without its turbine meter a softener may unnecessarily waste a huge amount of water and salt.

It would be hard not to be impressed by the passion and enthusiasm of Giulio Benvenuti. He takes his inspiration from working at Pentair and inspires those around him. Giulio only joined the company in 2021 as a Production Planner but has rapidly risen to supervising the operational production of the company’s valve range – a big responsibility on young shoulders. However, he relishes the task and is repaying the trust shown in him. We talked to Giulio about life at Pentair and what makes it so special for him.
