Fresh Water Solutions with RIFT Actuators
Fresh water is a critical resource, and at RIFT Actuators, our advanced electric actuators are revolutionising how fresh water systems are managed. From urban water supply networks to remote off-grid applications, our solutions deliver automation, precision, and energy efficiency to ensure reliable access to clean water. Powered by our patented RIFT Technology (Reduced Induction Field Technology), our actuators are designed to optimise fresh water management while supporting sustainability and operational excellence across diverse use cases.
RIFT Actuators
Automating Fresh Water Systems
RIFT Actuators’ electric actuators provide seamless automation for fresh water infrastructure, enabling precise control of valves in water treatment plants, distribution networks, and storage systems. Compatible with a wide range of valve types—including gate, ball, butterfly, and pressure-reducing valves—our actuators integrate effortlessly with Standard ISO Flanges, Drive Adapters, and custom mounting configurations, making them ideal for both new installations and retrofitting existing systems.
Our ‘SMART’ Electric Actuators, equipped with high-speed processors and advanced algorithms, deliver precise valve control with 0.1° resolution. This automation reduces manual intervention, enhances system reliability, and ensures consistent water flow and pressure management. For example, in municipal water treatment facilities, our actuators automate valves to regulate water flow during filtration, disinfection, and distribution processes, improving efficiency and minimising downtime.

Intelligent Water Management
Intelligence is at the heart of our fresh water solutions. RIFT Actuators’ ‘SMART’ technology provides real-time diagnostics, including valve wear indicators, open/close cycle counts, and performance analytics. These insights, accessible via user-friendly software interfaces, enable predictive maintenance to prevent issues like leaks or valve failures, ensuring uninterrupted access to fresh water.
By integrating with IoT-enabled systems, our actuators support smart water networks, similar to advanced systems used in global water utilities. For instance, in urban water supply systems, our actuators monitor water quality and flow rates in real-time, automatically adjusting valve positions to optimise distribution and reduce water loss. This intelligent approach helps municipalities meet stringent regulatory standards while enhancing operational efficiency.
Off-Grid Fresh Water Applications
RIFT Actuators excel in off-grid fresh water systems, where reliability and self-sufficiency are paramount. Our energy-efficient actuators, achieving up to 85% energy savings compared to conventional electric actuators, are ideal for remote or rural applications powered by renewable energy sources like solar panels. This makes them perfect for communities, agricultural operations, or disaster relief efforts where grid access is limited.
For example, in off-grid villages, our actuators control valves in rainwater harvesting systems or borehole water distribution networks, ensuring reliable access to clean water. Their compact design and failsafe functionality guarantee performance even during power outages, providing a dependable solution for critical fresh water applications in challenging environments.

Self-Sufficient Fresh Water Systems
Our actuators enable self-sufficient fresh water systems by combining automation with intelligent monitoring. In applications like remote eco-lodges or agricultural irrigation, our actuators work with smart sensors to regulate water flow based on real-time data, such as reservoir levels or soil moisture. This closed-loop approach minimises water waste and reduces reliance on external resources, aligning with global sustainability goals.
In emergency response scenarios, such as post-disaster water supply, our actuators support portable purification systems, automating valves to deliver clean water efficiently. With customisable features like modulating control and adjustable torque limits, our solutions adapt to the unique demands of each fresh water application, ensuring long-term reliability and efficiency.
