• pump installation as single pump or as two pumps in parallel or serial operation
• listing of all pump selection results in a table
• displaying of all possible configuration options for an highlighted pump
• featuring of common ways of duty point adjustment and performance curve calculation
• all necessary components are selected considering the application conditions
• energy cost calculation for the comparison of pumps focusing economic aspects
• direct search by using the Product Selection Browser as alternative to the Hydraulic Selection

Accessory Selection

• precise selection of available parts depending on the pump configuration and required type of installation or control
• structuring into different stages (e.g. mechanical and electrical accessories)
