The Smoother in Summary

The Smoother heat-balancing circulator control is an upgrade for residential hot water radiator heating systems that works with all types of hot water radiators to:

Improve heating comfort &
Increase energy-efficiency

About Hot Water Heating - Hot water heating systems are made up of a boiler, a series of radiators and a circulator pump. The circulator pump moves the heated water from the boiler around the house. A temperature switch or a relay typically controls when the pump turns on and off. These controls prevent the boiler from overheating, but do not provide evenly distributed heat to all radiators.

The Common Solution is Not Efficient - Uneven heating is so common with traditional pump controls that many heating contractors bypass the pump control altogether and leave the pump running continuously, 24 hours per day. This provides perfectly even heating of all the radiators, however this method uses a surprising amount of electricity. A standard two-amp pump running continuously uses as much power as FOUR full-sized refrigerators!

About the Smoother - The Smoother is a circulator control that runs the pump exactly when needed to provide even heating and shuts it off the rest of the time. Even heating of all the radiators – just like continuous circulation, but with approximately 75% lower electricity usage. More...

Average Energy Savings - With a typical 2-amp pump, at today’s hydro costs, a homeowner can save up to $165 off of their hydro bill every year compared to continuous circulation. Over a 20 year boiler life, that's $3300! The Smoother also improves heating efficiency by eliminating the need for space heaters, open windows and cranked thermostats. More...

Installation - Any heating contractor can install the Smoother in under an hour. Once installed, no adjustments or maintenance are required and the Smoother will maintain its setting even during a power outage. More...

Preventative Maintenance - The Smoother is designed with extra features that will extend the life of the pump and reduce future service calls. The pump exerciser prevents pump seizure over the summer months and the soft-start will reduce pump noise and pipe rattles during the heating season. More...

Warranty – The Smoother comes with a two-year limited warranty. Its all-solid-state construction (no relays or moving parts to wear out) is designed to outlast your boiler.
