Cascade – providing innovative,
Reliable and sustainable constant
presSure pumping systems. Designed
specifically for cold water
pressurisation and irrigation
applications, these systems bring a
combination of technology,
experience and quality to provide
our clients with a long term solution.
Using highly efficient pumps and
advanced control equipment,
these systems have a smooth operation
and eliminate water hammer which
significantly reduces system fatigue
and ongoing running costs.
