RESIDENTIAL
The Metropolitan Consumer Products Division services the needs of plumbing wholesalers and residential
contractors involved in new construction or remodeling and replacement jobs.
Metropolitan offers a complete line of residential control and battery back-up products for residential and
light commercial use. These products are designed, developed and manufactured in-house offering cutting
edge technology for today’s residential flood prevention applications.

ion genesis
The Ion Genesis is a residential sump pump controller for 1 or 2 pumps that
includes redundant water level sensors, a configurable water level/pump turnon setting, 2-pump alternation, pump failure sensing, local audible/visual alarm
notification, and optional remote alarm notification.
The sensors report real-time pumping information regarding operation, trends
and alarm status. Information is displayed on an illuminated LCD display for such
things as sump pit water level, set point on/off operation, alarm conditions such
as high water and pump malfunctions. Using an Ion Genesis with dual sensors
replaces unreliable mechanical switches that can malfunction and cause flooding.
ion DIGITAL LEVEL CONTROLLER
The ION Digital Level Controller is a technologically advanced device
that senses water level/pressure through the use of a proprietary sensor
and microprocessor driven digital control making it the world’s first
“intelligent” float switch for residential sump and sewage applications.
Under development for several years, the patent-pending Ion Digital Level
Controller eliminates moving parts, which are the detriment of most
mechanical switches and replaces them with solid-state sensing
technology resulting in superior dependability. Say, “goodbye” to
mechanical float switches and “Hello” to Digital Level Control at www.
IonNation.US.
Sumpro
A variety of configurations are available for one or two pump
operation using 24 volt D.C. power to run your high capacity A.C.
pump.
RESIDENTIAL
SUMPRO is a fully-automatic auxiliary power source that
actually takes D.C. battery power and converts it into 115 VAC
power when standard power fails or is not available. The SUMPRO
will continue to operate your full-capacity 115 volt pumps during
a power outage keeping you basement high and dry.
