Em2 Retrofit Kit

Emriver-Em2-river-model-old-vs-new-control
The older valve assembly (left) is replaced by the newer electronic flow controller (right).

The older energy dissipater and notch gage (left) is replaced with the newer energy dissipater unit and flow outlet (right).

A lighter, electronic controller powered by a smaller power supply replaces the valve system to control flow. It’s more compact and uses much less electrical current; it can still be powered by a 12 V battery and for longer periods of time. Setup and breakdown is faster and simpler. The updated Energy Dissipater system uses smaller parts for ease of setup, travel and storage.

The new system does not come standard with flow measurement, but the old Energy Dissipater Unit and Notch Gage can still be used with the other updated components for research and detailed demonstrations requiring precise measurements.

Includes:

  • 500 gph (1,892 lph) 12 V, 2-amp submersible pump, with intake filter
  • ¾-inch diameter tubing
  • Energy Dissipater Unit and flow outlet
  • Electronic flow controller
  • 12 V power supply with Ground Fault Circuit Interrupter, input standard 115 V 60 hZ
  • Emriver battery adapter, compatible with deep-cycle, 12 V battery
