Start & Smart Boxes

When it comes to irrigation control boxes, American Tank Company is proud to offer the basic Start box and the more comprehensive Smart Box.

The StartBox™ Pump Start Relay provides "pilot duty" operation for all types of electrically-driven pump equipment with available coil voltages of 24, 110, and 220. The SmartBOX ™ monitors this pressure through the use of a pressure sensor located on the discharge side of a pump. At the beginning, or anytime during a zone cycle, if water is not available the pressure will drop within the pump and the pressure sensor will signal a time delay to begin counting. If pressure has not recovered over the timer cycle, the pump shuts down to save itself before damage occurs. 

The resetting of the pressure sensor is automatic. The next cycle after an electrical signal shut down will have the same opportunity to build pressure. Since the sensor measures lack of pressure, as long as the pump is able to rebuild and maintain pressure, the pump will be allowed to run normally.
