Superior 5E FLEX battery-powered smoke blower
Superior Signal’s 5E FLEX battery-powered smoke blower is designed for smoke-testing building plumbing and laterals to quickly find faults, odors, leaks and inflow. The 5E FLEX is compatible with leading 18- to 20-volt tool batteries utilizing a high-quality power adapter. The 5E FLEX smoke blower integrates with existing electric toolsets or can run off any 12- to 24-volt DC power source. Smoke-testing is a cost-effective solution ideal for hard-to-find faults in commercial, residential and municipal facilities. While the 5E blower is popular for a variety of plumbing applications, it is also particularly useful in testing sewer laterals, showing where a fault or leak may occur on private property. Made in the USA, the 5E FLEX comes with an 8-foot industrial-grade hose. Used with Superior’s SP-8 premium encapsulated smoke pellets, the 5E Flex is easy to use and gets the job done quickly every time. 732-251-0800; www.superiorsignal.com/prflex
Watts Pure Water residential softening and filtration system
Watts has launched the Pure Water residential dual media 45K softening and filtration system. This whole-house solution combines advanced water softening and filtration in a single, space-saving design.
The system is engineered to deliver optimal water softening with a maximum ion-exchange capacity of 45,000 grains. It incorporates granular activated carbon, which effectively reduces chlorine taste and odors while extending the life of the softening resin. By combining water softening and filtration technologies into one tank, the system reduces the space required for installation and lowers overall costs. The GAC and resin are housed in separate chambers, reducing media replacement costs. Maintenance is further simplified with the inclusion of a mineral tank dome hole, providing easy access for GAC media replacement. 978-688-1811; www.watts.com
