Rapid Water Technologies Nanobubble Generators remove and prevent biofilm and scale in cooling towers, heat exchangers and other mechanical equipment, saving thousands of dollars in wasted energy, maintenance and chemical costs. The device transforms existing noncondensable gases into millions of nanobubbles/ml water, creating cleaner water, improving heat transfer and more, the company notes.

This product utilizes a compact cabinet, making this heat pump system the perfect solution for commercial retrofit or new construction applications. Hot Gas Reheat is used for humidity control and for occupant comfort. When zone cooling loads are low and the space humidity is high, conventional systems often over-cool the occupied space in an attempt to remove excess humidity. By redirecting exhaust heat from the compressor to the reheat coil, the system can operate to remove unwanted moisture.

DIRTMAG PRO is a powerful dirt separator for residential and light commercial hydronic systems. The DIRTMAG PRO efficiently removes ferrous and non-ferrous impurities such as magnetite, copper shavings, soil, silica, tape and scale fragments to protect expensive heat exchangers, circulators, valves, and other system components from failure. The debris blow-down valve makes serviceability simple, keeping your hands clean.

U.S. Boiler Co. proudly introduces the Alta boiler. Available in heating and combi models, the all-new Alta offers next-generation gas adaptive technology, providing no touch 5-minute startup, automatic self-calibration, and sensor-less outdoor reset. A simple switch converts the Alta from gas to LP (no kits or tools required). Combi models offer a virtually instantaneous DHW response, selectable comfort/recirculation modes, and include an AltaFastPipe (primary/secondary manifold).

The Instinct Floor Boiler comes loaded with features such as: a low loss header with dirt & air separator, Tsnyc Wi-Fi connectivity (for easy trouble shooting), an all stainless steel fire tube heat exchanger, industry leading 5+ GPM DHW and peace-of-mind 10 year warranty. Combi sizes are available in 155 and 199 MBH.

PVI Conquest is a condensing, semi-instantaneous, fire-tube water heater constructed from AquaPLEX duplex stainless steel. It’s corrosion-resistant in potable water at any temperature — no linings or anodes required, the company says. Conquest is 96% efficient, less than 20 ppm NOx and is available in 399, 500, 600, 700, 800, 900, 1000 MBH with 100 and 130 gallon storage tanks. Conquest provides three to five times the typical industry warranty featuring a 15-year tank and heat exchanger warranty.

Apollo SmartPress is an innovative press system designed for joining 1/2”-2” ASTM A-312 schedule 5/10s stainless steel pipe (304/304L and 316/316L). Apollo SmartPress fittings and valves offer end-users a complete solution with maximum coverage of applications requiring HNBR, EPDM or FKM sealing elements for operating pressures up to 500 psi. Unique features including color-coded press indicators, patented sealing elements and silicone-free production make Apollo SmartPress the ‘smart’ choice.

Bonomi’s S250 series stainless steel in-line check valves are NSF 61/372-certified for potable water and lead-free applications. Available in six sizes from 1/2” to 2”, Bonomi S250 series check valves feature a cold-formed 316 stainless steel body that gives users the highest Cv at the lowest cost. The metal forming process allows an improved flow profile inside the valve body to minimize head loss. It also eliminates machining for reduced manufacturing cost.

Grundfos SCALA1 is a compact, fully integrated, all-in-one, self-priming, pressure boosting unit with a high-efficiency motor and hydraulics with low noise operation for domestic water supply and light commercial applications. This includes garden irrigation, greenhouses, car wash and supermarket produce sections or pressure boosting to one and two-family houses and apartments. Built-in Bluetooth communication gives you complete control over the pump using the Grundfos GO REMOTE, also for twin pump operation.

The newly upgraded Jomar High Performance Butterfly Valve is now available with metal and fire safe seat options (RPTFE Standard).
