Flygt MultiTrode Probe Replacement

FOGRod® is a multi-electrode conductive level probe developed as a direct replacement for the discontinued Xylem Flygt MultiTrode probe for suitable wastewater level-control applications.

Looking for a Flygt MultiTrode replacement?

If you have a wastewater pumping station using a Flygt MultiTrode level probe, FOGRod® provides a modern multi-electrode alternative for suitable installations. The probe uses conductive electrodes positioned at defined levels to provide level signals for pump control, protection and alarms.

Water Automation Technology states that Xylem discontinued Flygt-branded MultiTrode products in January 2025 and identifies FOGRod® as a direct replacement developed by former MultiTrode engineers. Pump Services is the England & Wales Tier 1 distributor listed by Water Automation Technology.

What does FOGRod® replace?

Flygt MultiTrode level probes
Multi-electrode wastewater level sensing
Multiple float switch arrangements
Level sensing used for pump start and stop
Independent high-level or low-level protection
Suitable MultiTrode-to-FOGRod retrofit projects

FOGRod® multi-electrode technology

FOGRod® uses conductive electrodes on a single probe rather than relying on freely moving float switches. As wastewater reaches each electrode, the connected level controller detects the conductive path and provides the corresponding level signal.

Multiple levels

Defined electrode points on one probe.

No moving floats

Conductive sensing instead of a mechanical float mechanism.

Wastewater focused

Designed for demanding wet-well and wastewater applications.

MultiTrode replacement for UK pump stations

FOGRod® is available in different lengths and electrode configurations. The correct model depends on the wet-well dimensions, required pump-control levels, cable arrangement and control equipment.

For installations using a 10-electrode FOGRod®, the LIT liquid indicator transmitter provides ten level relay outputs together with alarm and analogue-output functions for suitable control and telemetry applications.
