Three Keys to Hydronic System Protection
Maintaining the health of water-based fluids circulating within hydronic systems is paramount in protecting components and maximizing efficiency. Proper air, dirt and magnetic separation are three keys for optimal system performance. Designers and installers might hang their hats on using high-performance separators, however, best practices for hydronic systems may call for a more complex approach.
Rest assured! Bob “Hot Rod” Rohr, Cody Mack and Max Rohr will cover the basics of these devices and then treat our audience to a lively debate.
You’ll learn:
→ What is the difference between baseline and high-performance air, dirt and magnetic separation?
→ Why do I still have an air issue?
→ What is the best method for replacing fluid that leaves a system?
→ Shop Talk Showdown: Do you leave the AutoFill on? Yes or no?
