Our customers want the best, which is why they come to Valley in the first place, so it was natural to forge this partnership."

The Yaskawa iQpump1000 VFD will be sold as the Valley Water Management VFD at Valley dealerships.

Valley Water Management VFDs give growers:

  • Money Savings - Energy savings produce meaningful cost savings
  • Versatility - Multiple control options, including pressure, flow, and level
  • Reliability - Field proven, thousands of units in operation
  • Control - Yaskawa software designed for ag irrigation pumping

"The usage of water and the usage of energy are becoming two of the leading issues of the 21st century.
