Service Details

An MTS field service engineer will visit your site and upgrade your HPU's critical electrical and mechanical subassemblies. Our most commonly performed upgrade makes an MTS SilentFlo 505G1 HPU into an MTS SilentFlo 505G1+ HPU, which brings this older model up to the second generation capability and makes it compatible with MTS SilentFlo 515 models. Upgrades for other MTS HPU models may be available, please contact your MTS service sales representative for more information.

Why It Matters

 

The first generation MTS SilentFlo 505 HPUs were introduced in 1998 and were built with now-obsolete electronics from that era. Upgrading these units with modern controls will extend their usable life.
