Eclipse Tools North America BoilerMag
Eliminating contaminants in any hydronics system is vital to maximizing its heating efficiency. BoilerMag from Eclipse Tools North America offers the complete hydronic system protection, with a three-step solution: clean, protect and inhibit, using a range of quality system treatment products and chemicals. A magnetic filter is a vital means of controlling magnetite, also known as black sludge, in hydronic systems. In order to prevent problems caused by black sludge, it must be filtered out before reaching the boiler. The magnetic core ensures no matter the amount of contamination, the unit will never block. Complete with an automatic air vent, it releases trapped air in order to maintain heating efficiency and prevent oxidation. If you experience a high number of call-backs due to blocked systems, installing the unit can extend the life of the boiler and reduce time-consuming maintenance. 905-664-5585; www.boilermag.com
Water-Right Impression Plus air-injected filters
Impression Plus air-injected filters from Water-Right are effective in removing dissolved hydrogen sulfide and iron, commonly associated with problem well water. These systems use a filtering process to oxidize soluble sulfur or iron into precipitates (solids) that can be readily filtered and removed, resulting in good water throughout the entire home. The filters include Inch Worm technology that allows the control valve to slowly “inch” its way into backwash, allowing air to escape slowly instead of one strong burst due to excessive air pressure. Inch Worm virtually eliminates the thrashing of drainlines or noisy discharge of air during regeneration. The filters are environmentally safe, and no chemicals are used throughout the process. 800-777-1426; www.water-right.com
