Danfoss Drives introduces the groundbreaking iC7-Aqua portfolio, designed to revolutionize water management systems: water supply and distribution, desalination, irrigation, industrial water, and wastewater treatment. The ULH variant, iC7-Aqua ULH ultra low-harmonic drive, delivers leading ultra-low harmonics mitigation to improve grid compliance, reduce losses, and protect critical assets more effectively.
Experience a dramatic reduction in energy consumption, a vital factor in reaching energy neutrality, through the exceptional high energy efficiency and digitalization capabilities of iC7-Aqua. As a next-generation, water-dedicated drive, iC7-Aqua is pivotal in advancing our mission to tackle global water challenges. With 80% of wastewater remaining untreated and 25% of the global population lacking access to safe drinking water, iC7-Aqua stands as a beacon of innovation and sustainability in the quest for effective water management solutions.
This innovation enhances water and wastewater systems with ultra-low harmonic capabilities and robust cybersecurity, setting new industry standards. At Danfoss, we are committed to empowering industries with sustainable and efficient solutions.

Setting new standards with dedicated water drives
-
Pump protection: Built-in features protect pumps against clogging, cavitation, running dry, and more. Multi-pump control enhances reliability and system performance. For example, reduce leaks with iC7-Aqua's integrated intelligent demand management to maintain stable pressure across water networks.
-
Robust security: High reliability of critical infrastructure; iC7-Aqua is cybersecure and robust by design, which helps safeguard water systems against unauthorized access. The drive is designed to operate under the harshest environmental installation conditions.
-
Elevated performance: iC7-Aqua offers connected or cloud-free intelligent edge computing. Increased computing power allows the drive to act as both a sensor hub and a controller. A wide variety of I/OS and fieldbus protocols provide flexibility and connectivity. Built-in condition-based monitoring ensures early warning of potential issues, enabling action before unplanned stoppage.
-
Easy installation and operation: Assisting operators and installers in getting their water systems running quickly and correctly—the intuitive control panel supports ease of daily operations. Quick power cable connection for easy commissioning and maintenance. Connects to your choice of pump and IM or PM motor.
-
Compact design: More compact than ever, iC7-Aqua offers greater flexibility in even the tightest installation spaces and is 20% more compact than the next-best alternative.
-
DrivePro® support nearby, wherever your location: A global service network is at hand to ensure your systems are well maintained and up-to-date.
I am very pleased to present the iC7-Aqua at IFAT 2026. With this new generation of frequency converters, we are setting a milestone for the water and wastewater industry. The iC7-Aqua combines highest efficiency, maximum operational safety, and forward-looking technology—from small capacities to the megawatt range. This creates a comprehensive solution for critical infrastructures and sets a new benchmark for sustainable and reliable drive technology in the water sector.
