 brand names in the United States and under the Mueller and the Canada Valve™ brand names in Canada.  Water Management Solutions also makes wet-barrel fire hydrants, where the valves are located in the hydrant nozzles and the barrel contains water at all times.  Wet-barrel fire hydrants are made for warm weather climates, such as in California and Hawaii, and are sold under the Jones® brand name.

Most municipalities have approved a limited number of fire hydrant brands for installation as a result of their desire to use the same tools and operating instructions across their systems and to minimize spare part inventories.  We believe the large installed base of Mueller fire hydrants throughout the United States and Canada, reputation for superior quality and performance as well as specified position have contributed to the leading market position of our fire hydrants.  This large installed base also leads to recurring sales of replacement fire hydrants and hydrant parts.

Repair Products and Services. Water Management Solutions also sells pipe repair products, such as couplings, grips and clamps used to repair leaks, under the HYMAX®, Mueller® and Krausz® brand names.

Water Management Solutions produces machines and tools for tapping, drilling, extracting, installing and line stopping, which are designed to work with its water and gas fittings and valves as an integrated system.

Water Management Solutions develops technologies and offers products and services under the Echologics® brand name that can non-invasively (i.e., without disrupting service or introducing a foreign object into the water system) detect underground leaks and assess the condition of water mains comprised of a variety of materials.  We leverage our proprietary acoustic technology to offer leak detection and condition assessment surveys.  We also offer fixed leak detection systems that allow customers to continuously monitor and detect leaks on water distribution and transmission mains.  We believe Water Management Solutions’ ability to offer non-invasive leak detection and pipe condition assessment services is a key competitive advantage.
