2020 Valley Irrigation Valley® Variable Frequency Drives

Valley® works harder to make it possible for you to spend less in order to operate your irrigation equipment. Install a Variable Frequency Drive (VFD) to control your pump motor’s speed, which results in delivering only what your operation needs to function at optimal efficiency. You’ll see dramatically higher energy savings because you're preventing over-pumping and over-pressurizing your irrigation equipment.

Through our partner, Yaskawa™, we're able to bring you the highest-quality, highest-performing VFD for agriculture. The Yaskawa iQPump® 1000 VFD (or Valley VFD) leads the industry in performance and features for agricultural irrigation applications, and is easily available through your local Valley dealer.
