If
your home or place of business is heated with hot
water radiators, the Smoother can help you. The
Smoother is an innovative hydronic heating product
that ensures even heat distribution to all radiators
while lowering your energy bills. Smoother mixes
the boiler's hot water throughout the entire heating
system thus bringing all the radiators in a home up to
the same temperature. |

No
more overheated or cold radiators!
No more endless adjusting of valves!
No more dangerous space heaters! |

If
you already have even heating, then your boiler's
circulator pump is probably running continuously,
wasting a surprising amount of electricity. A standard
2-amp pump running continuously uses as much energy as
4 full-size refrigerators! A circulator pump
controlled by the Smoother will consume approximately 75%
less electricity than if the pump was running
non-stop - saving significant amounts of energy and
money!
Homeowners currently using
continuous circulation can save $165 annually,
with a typical 2amp pump. That's $3,300 over the
20-year life of a boiler! |

The
Problem
Most hot-water radiator
systems were installed a half-century ago and are
still in use today. They offer a combination of
comfort, quiet, and efficiency that can’t be matched
by modern forced-air systems. However, many of these
systems (even those retrofitted with modern boilers)
suffer from one big problem: uneven heating of the
radiators. Some radiators are too hot, while
others never seem to warm up enough.
Yesterday's Solution:
Many heating professionals, realizing that the
standard circulator control is the source of the
uneven heat, simply bypass it and leave the circulator
running continuously. This does achieve even heating,
but it has significant drawbacks: constant pump noise,
increased circulator wear, and surprisingly high
electricity usage: a standard 2-amp circulator running
continuously uses over 2000 kWh per year
of electricity, as much as FOUR full-size
refrigerators! |

Today's
solution: The
Smoother operates the circulator pump at the
exact times needed, eliminating temperature variations
between radiators regardless of radiator location or
outdoor temperature changes – and saves 75%
of the electricity used by continuous circulation! |

The
Smoother is a patent-pending, CSA-approved,
Canadian-made electrical device that creates an even
distribution of heat in a hot-water radiator heating
system by controlling the operation of the water
circulator pump.
- The Smoother eliminates
cold radiators in outlying rooms and prevents
overheating of the radiators closest to the
boiler.
- The Smoother maximizes
heating efficiency and reduces circulator pump
noise and energy consumption by 75%*.
- The Smoother is built
entirely of solid-state electronics, and has been
designed to provide a service life of over 25
years.
- The Smoother is
inexpensive, works with any fuel and is easily
installed on any boiler in under one hour. There
are only simple electrical connections: no valves
or temperature probes required.

How
the Smoother Works
Other circulator controls
only pump hot water through the radiators when the
burner is on.
The Smoother runs the circulator
pump continuously during burner firing, and after the
burner cycle ends the circulator pump continues to run
to “stir” the water long enough that even the
furthest or lowest-flow radiator is brought to the
same temperature as all the rest.
By running the pump
continuously during all burner firing, the build-up of
temperature gradients among the radiators is limited
to the temperature rise across the boiler. After the
burn ends, the small temperature differences that have
built up during the burn are quickly stirred out by
the additional circulator running time.
