The PowerSpout ordering process is built for precision. Rather than adding items directly to a cart, you first build and review a complete solution — every component matched to your site conditions — before any order is placed. This page walks you through each stage.
The calculator is the starting point for every solution order. It takes your site's hydrology data and works out which turbine and components are the right fit.
You will need:
What the calculator gives you:
At the bottom of the calculator you will see a "Build my solution" button. Click it — this passes your results directly to the Solution Builder. You do not need to copy anything manually.
You are taken to: Solution Bundle
This is where your component list is assembled. The calculator results are already loaded — you will see a list of every component recommended for your site, with quantities and pricing.
| Field | Where to find it | Why it matters |
|---|---|---|
| Calculation Code | Pre-filled from calculator | Links your solution to the engineering review |
| Valve Thread | Dropdown — BSP or NPT | Determines nozzle and pipe fittings supplied |
| Shipping Address | Address fields at bottom | Pre-filled from your account; edit for drop-ship addresses |
| Freight groups | Freight section | Each consignment must be under 25 kg; adjust groupings if needed |
Click Save & send for review when you are ready. This does two things:
a3f9...)Your token URL is a living quote — you can return to it at any time, share it with a colleague, or forward it to the PowerSpout team. Bookmark it or note the token code.
Logged-in account required. You must be signed in to save a solution. Create an account or log in before starting if you have not already.
Nothing to do on your end during this step.
Once your solution is submitted, the PowerSpout team reviews the component list against your site data. They may:
You will receive an email when your solution has been reviewed. You can return to your solution at any time using your token URL or by checking your account.
If changes were made: The team may send the solution back to you for confirmation. Review the updated list and click Save & send for review again if you are happy with it.
On your solution page, once the solution shows Approved, the Place order(s) button becomes available to the original account holder.
Click Place order(s) — you will be asked to confirm two things:
Both checkboxes must be ticked to proceed.
Orders ship from New Zealand. International freight is calculated based on your consignment groupings and destination. If you need a freight estimate before placing, use the Get freight estimate button on the bundle page.
Can I come back to my solution later? Yes. Your solution is saved to a token URL. Note the code shown top-right on the bundle page (e.g. a3f9cc...) and return to it any time at /pages/solution-bundle?token=YOUR_CODE, or log in and access it from your account.
Can I share my solution with someone else? Yes. Anyone with the token URL who is logged in to a PowerSpout account can view and edit the solution. Useful for dealers building solutions on behalf of clients.
I'm a dealer building a solution for my customer — what's the process? Run the calculator, build the solution, and use Send to dealer to share the token URL with your customer. Dealer pricing is shown automatically when you are logged in as a dealer account. Your customer can review, and either you or they can place the order from the original owner account.
What is a freight group? Each physical consignment (box/pallet) is a freight group. International couriers have weight limits — PowerSpout recommends keeping each group under 25 kg. The bundle page shows the weight of each group live as you adjust items.
I added a component by SKU and the price looks wrong — what should I do? Prices for manually-added items are pulled live from the Powerspout store. If something looks incorrect, add a note in the notes field and send for review — the PowerSpout team will check it before approving.
The "Place order" button is greyed out — why? Only the account that originally created the solution can place the order. If you are viewing a shared token link on a different account, you will not see the Place order button. Contact the original account holder or the PowerSpout team.
