Monitor Pitless and Booster Systems

Authorized Monitor Distributor

Monitor Pitless & Booster Systems

Below-frost pitless units, municipal pitless booster stations, well caps, and pitless adapters — engineered by Baker in Evansville, Wisconsin since 1873.

Monitor, a division of Baker Manufacturing Company, LLC, developed the first pitless unit and has built well-head equipment in Evansville, Wisconsin since 1873. Watermain Supply distributes the full Monitor line: industrial and municipal pitless units, pitless booster stations, and a complete domestic and rural well-head line. Monitor water-passage products are made in the USA, NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 certified, conform to Water Systems Council PAS-97 (2017), and are available AIS/BABA compliant by request.

Industrial & Municipal Pitless Systems

The pitless unit forms a watertight extension of the well casing below the frost line, lets the submersible pump be removed without disturbing external piping, and discharges below grade to prevent surface contamination — eliminating the well house and well pit.

Construction and certification

Water passages are hot-dipped lead-free galvanized or corrosion-resistant material, sealed with neoprene O-rings between precisely machined surfaces. Cast iron caps and screened vents, steel pitless cases, and ductile or cast iron discharge bodies are standard; stainless steel is available on request. Units are rated to 300 psi discharge as standard, with higher pressures accommodated using backup rings. Booster stations add a 150 psi inlet rating. In-line check valves are Flomatic, rated to 400 psi and VFD-compatible. Every unit is NSF/ANSI 61 and 372 certified, conforms to the Ten States Standards and Water Systems Council PAS-97, is made in the USA, and is available AIS/BABA compliant by request.

Engineering-led sizing

We size pitless units and booster stations to your well casing, drop pipe, discharge configuration, lift-out load, and pump duty — designed lift-out capacities range from roughly 4,700 lb on a 5 in booster to over 200,000 lb on the largest custom units. Send us the well details and pump curve and we will spec the correct ordering configuration.

Pitless Booster Stations

An economical way to fill water storage tanks or pressurize a distribution system. The submersible pump and motor sit below ground inside the pitless case while Monitor Municipal Controls run above grade — no vault, no pump house, and no confined-space entry. Built for municipal and commercial systems, large or small, and NSF certified.

Simplex Booster System

A single submersible booster pump in the pitless case — constant-pressure tank fill or line boosting for smaller systems, VFD-controlled to hold pressure across demand.

Request availability

Duplex Booster System

Two pumps for alternation, redundancy, and higher combined flow, staged by Monitor Municipal Controls to maintain a constant pressure setting as demand swings.

Request availability

Triplex Booster System

Three pumps for high-demand municipal duty — staged lead-lag-lag operation with full redundancy and efficient power use under low or high flow.

Station construction

  • Quiet — submersible pump and motor are housed below ground
  • Safe — no vault and no confined-space entry
  • Economical — eliminates the pump house or vault
  • Durable — choose ductile iron, steel, or stainless steel construction
  • Corrosion-protected — wettable surfaces are lead-free galvanized for long-term protection
  • Easy access — quick submersible pump service from grade
  • Expandable — larger pumps can be inserted to handle future demand

Monitor Municipal Controls

  • Variable-frequency drive — virtually eliminates water hammer and the need for pump control valves
  • Constant pressure — maintains the desired setting over a wide range of flow
  • Emergency pump shutdown — in case of a discharge-line break
  • Low suction-pressure protection
  • SCADA system compatible
  • Versatile — tank-fill boosters convert to maintain line pressure during tank maintenance
  • Overload protection — UL listed, single- or three-phase power, unlimited starts per hour

Engineering-led sizing

We size the booster to your suction pressure, target discharge pressure, flow, and pump curve, and select a simplex, duplex, or triplex arrangement with the right control package. For above-grade and retrofit sites, Monitor also offers a factory-assembled skid-mounted packaged booster — confirm the configuration on the factory submittal. Send the duty point and we will return the ordering configuration.
