About Hydrovar X Smart Pump Platform
A new generation of integrated pump-motor-drive packages designed for commercial and industrial water service.
The Hydrovar X platform integrates three components into a single plug-and-play package: the IE5 synchronous motor, the variable frequency drive, and the pump itself. The motor and drive use separate quick-connect components — meaning a faulted drive or motor can be replaced individually without buying an entirely new pump-and-motor combination. The integrated electrical socket eliminates field wiring between drive and motor.
Hydrovar X delivers one of the broadest efficiency ranges in the industry. Unlike induction motors that lose efficiency at part-load, the IE5 synchronous design maintains close-to-peak efficiency across the full operating envelope. No rare-earth materials — Goulds engineered Hydrovar X without rare-earth permanent magnets, sidestepping the supply-chain volatility that affects competing premium-efficiency pumps.
Built-in protections cover both pump and motor: dry run, motor overcurrent, low system pressure, overheating, short circuit, over/under voltage. The graphical color display enables quick on-pump configuration. Built-in Modbus RTU and BACnet MS/TP support direct integration with building management systems. Optional Avensor IoT platform connectivity provides remote monitoring, historical trend analysis, and predictive failure alerts across the full installed fleet.

Boiler Feed
Boiler feedwater service requiring 250°F temperature handling. e-SHX is NSF 61 certified and designed for boiler feed booster duty.
Industrial Washing & Cleaning
Car washes, food & beverage processing, industrial refrigeration. e-HMX horizontal multistage is the standard choice.
OEM Custom Applications
Equipment manufacturers integrating smart pumps into larger systems. Modular construction and BMS protocols simplify OEM integration.
Hydrovar X Sizing Support
Common decisions where engineering input gets you the right configuration the first time.
Pump Family Selection
e-SVX for high head & clean fluids. e-HMX for moderate flow horizontal. e-SHX for high flow & ANSI flange. e-HVX/HVXR for packaged multi-pump boost.
Single vs Multi-Pump
Single pump: simplest, lowest cost. Multi-pump: redundancy, capacity matching to varying demand, easier maintenance with one pump out of service.
Control Mode Selection
Constant pressure: most boost applications. Proportional pressure: variable-demand systems with friction loss. Constant flow: process applications.
BMS Integration Planning
Confirm BMS protocol (MODBUS or BACnet) and points list before specifying. Hydrovar X supports direct integration without gateway hardware in most cases.

Hydrovar X — Frequently Asked Questions
Which pump family should I choose?
e-SVX: Highest head capacity (1,200 ft), vertical orientation, ideal for high-rise pressure boost or any high-head clean-fluid duty. e-HMX: Horizontal multistage, compact footprint, moderate flow (150 GPM) at moderate head (509 ft) — common for car washes and industrial cleaning. e-SHX: End-suction with ANSI flanges, highest flow (970 GPM) at lower head, NSF 61 certified, ideal for water transfer and boiler feed. e-HVX/HVXR: Pre-packaged multi-pump booster system using e-SV pumps with Hydrovar X drives — the turnkey solution for commercial building pressure boost.
What does IE5 mean and why does it matter?
IE5 is the International Electrotechnical Commission's "ultra-premium" efficiency classification — the highest motor efficiency tier currently defined. Compared to standard IE2 induction motors, IE5 delivers significant energy savings, especially at part-load conditions. Most motors lose efficiency dramatically when running below rated speed, but IE5 synchronous design maintains close-to-peak efficiency across the full operating envelope. For pumps that frequently operate at varying speeds (almost all variable-demand applications), the energy savings compound over time.
Can the drive or motor be replaced independently?
Yes — that's a key Hydrovar X design feature. The drive and motor use separate quick-connect components with an integrated electrical socket. If the drive fails, replace the drive only. If the motor fails, replace the motor only. No need to replace the entire pump-and-motor combination, no field wiring during replacement. This minimizes downtime and replacement cost vs traditional integrated pump-motor units.
What's the difference between e-HVX and e-HVXR?
Both are packaged multi-pump boosters using the same Hydrovar X smart motor and e-SV pumps. The difference is footprint and capacity:
e-HVX: Larger footprint, higher capacity (up to 2,100 GPM, 880 ft head, 380 PSI max).
e-HVXR: Up to 30% smaller footprint via reoriented suction/discharge manifolds, lower capacity (up to 380 GPM, 550 ft head, 270 PSI max). Choose e-HVXR when installation space is constrained and capacity is sufficient.
e-HVX: Larger footprint, higher capacity (up to 2,100 GPM, 880 ft head, 380 PSI max).
e-HVXR: Up to 30% smaller footprint via reoriented suction/discharge manifolds, lower capacity (up to 380 GPM, 550 ft head, 270 PSI max). Choose e-HVXR when installation space is constrained and capacity is sufficient.
Does Hydrovar X integrate with building management systems?
Yes — natively, without gateway hardware. Hydrovar X supports MODBUS RTU and BACnet MS/TP communication protocols directly. This enables direct integration with most commercial building management systems for monitoring, control, and alarm reporting. Standard hardwired I/O is also available, with extended I/O option for more complex integration. Confirm BMS protocol and points list when specifying.
What is Avensor and do I need it?
Avensor is Xylem's IoT cloud platform for remote pump monitoring. Hydrovar X smart motors can connect to Avensor for real-time fleet visibility, historical trend analysis, and predictive failure alerts across all installed pumps. It's optional — Hydrovar X works fully standalone with on-pump display and Bluetooth app. Avensor adds value for facilities managing multiple pump installations or wanting predictive maintenance capability.
Why no rare-earth materials?
Most premium-efficiency synchronous motors rely on rare-earth permanent magnets, which face supply-chain volatility (concentrated production, geopolitical risk, price spikes). Goulds engineered Hydrovar X without rare-earth materials — delivering IE5 efficiency through alternative motor design. This sidesteps supply-chain risk and addresses environmental concerns about rare-earth mining. Practical benefit: more predictable lead times and pricing.
What's the typical lead time on Hydrovar X smart pumps?
Single-pump configurations (e-SVX, e-HMX, e-SHX) typically ship within 4–8 weeks. Packaged boosters (AQUAFORCE e-HVX/HVXR) typically run 6–10 weeks given the multi-pump assembly. Custom configurations, BMS programming, or specific motor/drive combinations may extend lead time. Exact lead time confirmed on every quote.
