OF THE FUTURE.
WILO-ZETOS K8: ENERGY EFFICIENT WATER SUPPLY
A flexible submersible pump, the Wilo-Zetos K8 sets standards with a pump
efficiency of up to 84.5% and an overall efficiency of 75%. It can be precisely
configured to your needs and is also suitable for the demanding processes in
the raw water intake. Ideal for municipalities but also for agriculture.

Editor's foreword
Welcome to The Pumping Station, a special supplement on pumps and valves
brought to you by the team behind WWT, WET News and Utility Week. It's
certainly been an eventful year in both the water industry and the wider economy,
and as we hear in my interview with the BPMA's Steve Scho eld (overleaf)
Britain's exit from the European Union is likely to have a far-reaching impact on
the manufacturers, distributors and users of pumps and valves. Not only will the
sector have to decide how its cross-border supply chains will be a„ ected, but Brexit throws into
doubt the future of key European regulations around energy use and the disposal and recycling of
equipment. Meanwhile, smart water and the 'internet of things' remain hot areas of technological
development, with control and monitoring equipment opening the door to savings of both energy
and Totex costs. I hope you enjoy the collection of comment, case studies and features we have
assembled in this year's supplement, but if you want more where this came from, don't forget to
book your visit to the Pumping Station, our interactive exhibit focusing on pumps at Utility Week
Live in Birmingham on May 23-24. Info: www.utilityweeklive.co.uk
