Every Heating Contractor needs the Smoother in their toolkit

The Smoother is a smart, simple upgrade for all single zone residential hydronic heating systems. Single zone hydronic heating systems are by far the most common and largest segment of the residential hydronic heating market. In North America, this market represents approximately 8 million households¹.

The most common problem in traditional residential hydronic heating systems is uneven heating - some rads too hot, some cold.

The root cause of this problem is the way the circulator pump is controlled. Traditional circulator controls (aquastats and isolating relays) don't run the pump enough or at the correct times. As a result, hot water is not mixed evenly throughout the system.

To eliminate this problem, many experienced contractors routinely bypass the circulator control and run the pump continuously. This gives a great improvement in heating comfort, as the pump mixes the heat evenly through the whole system.

Of course, this uses a lot of electricity. Even the tiniest 0.5 amp circulator running continuously uses over 500kWh of electricity per year. A more typical 2 amp pump uses over 2000kWh of electricity per year - as much as 4 full-size refrigerators!

The Smoother is the only circulator control that operates the circulator pump at the exact times needed for perfectly even heating of the radiators, while using approximately 75% less electricity than continuous circulation.

Extra Features:

- The Pump Exerciser helps prevent pump seizure over the summer months by running the pump for 2 minutes every 24 hours.

- The Soft-Start for dry-rotor pumps reduces the noise and stress of the pump start-up.

Finally, HVAC contractors have a great hydronic heating upgrade for all their single-zone clients. The Smoother works with all types of residential boilers, cast iron, steel, baseboard or fin tube radiators and is installed in less than an hour with an average two-year payback.

Most importantly, the benefits of the Smoother can be realized immediately by the homeowner - both in comfort and in the pocketbook.
