TheWaV pump from Neptune Systemssaw a subdued unveiling at MACNA in Denver a couple weeks ago that was all but overshadowed by the forthcomingDoS流体计量系统. Not one to let questions go unanswered about an exciting new product they are working on, Neptune Systems has just released a webpage detailing the bevy of innovations that will make the Wav pump really different.
At its core the Neptune WaV pump really isn’t all that different; it’s a controllable DC powered propeller pump that pushes over 3,000 gph while being “extremely quiet” but the power consumption is not stated. The body of the WaV seems exceptionally small for this category of water flow and we’ll give Neptune Systems benefit of the doubt that the WaV has industry-standard or better efficiency at moving water.
这是一旦你开始远离t的身体he WaV pump that the innovations and cool implementations that Neptune has made come together to create a wholly unique water movement device. First of all the WaV has been engineered to be extremely low profile with a unique “track system” that allows the pump to be tilted up to 20 degrees in one dimension to angle the outflow in the most desirable positions.
Another cool feature of the new controllable propeller pump from Neptune Systems is the use of a thin and less noticeable cable that carries both the power, control, and sensor feedback necessary to make the WaV a “smart” pump. This “one cable” is called the 1Link by Neptune and it connects directly to both the power and control module for the Apex Systems also called the 1Link.
The first practical feature of using the 1Link module for WaV pumps is that a single power supply can be plugged into the 1Link and that power gets distributed to up to three WaV pumps. You can also use the 1Link module to power two WaV pumps and a DoS, as well as a whole future of 1Link compatible devices.

The 1Link not only powers but also controls products like the WaV and the DoS so it does away with not only cumbersome power supplies and the outlets they take up but also serves as a single controller for programming these devices. The 1Link connects to the Apex Controller and then users can easily access graphical user interfaces via Apex Fusion to enable a wide range of modern water movement programs for their WaV pump.
In addition to manually programming WaV pumps for set speeds at set times, the software running them will have some custom water movement profiles. The profiles have interesting names like ‘Mavericks’, ‘Rincon’ and ‘Huntington’ which we recognize the names of beaches in California, but with which we are not familiar enough to associate particular flow patterns, although we hear mavericks is good for surfing and there’s killer stands ofAcropora palmatain Rincon, Puerto Rico.
Like the Apple Watch the smart WaV pump from Neptune Systems is coming in “early 2015” and we very much look forward to seeing the new product category from Neptune Systems living up to its list of features and innovations. A single WaV will cost under $300 and still require an Apex controller to work, while a pair of WaV pumps with a 1Link module will come in a bundle for under $550. [Neptune Systems]
