Rockland, MA-based Neutrasafe Corp. has added new products to their line of high-quality condensate neutralizers to fit almost any hi-efficiency, gas fired application. Improvements have also been made to all tube-type and tank-type neutralizers, enhancing ease of maintenance and/or performance.
Tube-type condensate neutralizers are now offered in four sizes from 220,000 to 2 million BTUH. Addition of the largest size now fills the gap between the company’s 1.2 million BTUH tube-type unit and the smallest tank-type neutralizer. Tank configurations are available with capacity guidelines of 4 million and 6 million BTUH.
The new patent pending tube-type neutralizers feature integral unions with O-ring seals that greatly simplify removal for service and recharging. Unclasping a lock ring on either end of the unit allows the main body to be removed without disturbing the drain line. Replacement O-rings are included with tube model recharge kits and all tube model neutralizers are available with a snap-in mounting clamp option. The new model was designed by a Master Plumber with more than 30 years in the industry and is completely manufactured in the US.
Along with Neutra-Safe’s upgraded and expanded product line, the neutralization media for all units has been improved. A mix of calcite and magnesium oxide pellets is now used for enhanced performance and is also available in recharge kits for any of Neutra-Safe’s condensate neutralizers.

PRODUCT CATEGORY: WASTEWATER
APPLICATION: MUNICIPAL/ UTILITY; INDUSTRIAL; COMMERCIAL BUSINESS SERVICES
The Grundfos line of SL submersible wastewater pumps are designed to handle raw, unscreened sewage, effluent, large volumes of surface water and process water in municipal, utility and industrial applications. The solids-handing pump series, in motor ranges from 1.5 to 15 horsepower (HP), is available in two types of impellers:
- SLV/SuperVortex Impeller: This pump type provides the free passage of solids up to 4 inches in diameter, making it ideal for liquids with a content of solids, fibers or gassy sludge.
- SL1/S Tube Impeller: This pump type also accommodates solids up to 4 inches, but is designed particularly for large flows of raw sewage.
The SLV and SL1 pumps are designed for permanent submerged installation in demanding applications such as municipal wastewater, network pumping stations, wastewater treatment plants, public buildings, housing projects and other commercial applications.
The series is designed with IE3 premium efficiency motor components, quick removable pump housing clamps, cartridges seals, quick removable plug in cord, and smooth exterior components for high efficiency performance along with an easy to service pump.

PRODUCT CATEGORY: RESIDENTIAL; SINGLE-FAMILY Homes
APPLICATION: DOMESTIC HOT WATER RECIRCULATION
The new Grundfos COMFORT PM AUTO® range of residential circulating pumps set the standard for intelligent and energy-efficient hot water recirculation through its AUTOADAPT function, which learns the household’s consumption patterns and then adapts to it.
When using the AUTOADAPT mode, average run times are only 3 hours per day, yielding up to an 85 percent power and 48 percent heat/energy savings over conventional constant-speed circulators.
The single phase, 115V pump motor yields up to 6.5 GPM and uses two temperature sensors; one within the pump and another connected by a cable installed in the hot-water flow pipe.
Grundfos is the only manufacturer to offer a variable-speed electronically commutated motor (ECM)-based circulator that uses an integrated logic algorithm to “learn” the varying energy-usage patterns of an application over time, enabling the software to automatically determine the lowest possible operating‐ efficiency point to meet ever-changing demand. By continuously fine‐tuning power consumption and flow rates to meet the dynamic needs of the system, this AUTOADAPT function saves both energy and money.
The AUTOADAPT function is so powerful that eight out of every ten installations can rely on this feature to automatically select the optimal setting, with no additional human intervention. For the installer, that simply means plug and play and walk away.

Pump neutralizes and discharges condensate from high-efficiency furnaces, AC equipment, dehumidifiers, ice machines and other applications that lack below-floor drainage.
The SANICONDENS® BEST condensate water pump from SFA Saniflo incorporates a pH neutralizing granule tray that increases the pH of the acid water before discharging it to the drain line. With four inlets, the pump can accommodate multiple condensing mechanical systems, both residential and commercial, including boilers, water heaters, air-conditioning and refrigeration systems and other appliances.
Many times, condensate is not able to drain adequately via gravity, usually because the application lacks conventional, below-floor drainage. This problem may, in turn, cause property damage or even create health hazards by adversely affecting indoor air quality. The SANICONDENS BEST, whose built-in pump activates automatically, is designed to quickly remove condensate by pumping it upward to a drainage line where it can be carried safely away from the unit, through gravity.
While neutralizers and condensate pumps were previously built separately, the SANICONDENS BEST combines them into one system, creating a less expensive and space-saving solution.
The built-in neutralizer will defuse condensate from appliances with inputs up to 100,000 BTU/hour, preventing the corroding of drains and sewer systems. Made of a durable polypropylene, the eight-pound condensate pump may be wall-mounted, using the tabs on the tank, or installed on a level floor surface.
Key features: The SANICONDENS BEST also offers these distinguishing features:
Built-in acid neutralizer: The neutralizer raises pH levels for harsh HVAC applications, meeting many local and state codes that require condensate to be neutralized before being discharged to prevent corrosive damage to the sewer system.
Four inlets: Suitable for new or existing applications, the SANICONDENS BEST can handle condensate from multiple pieces of equipment simultaneously. Condensate water entering the unit triggers a float, which activates the pump motor.
Discharge line: The pump moves the condensate through a flexible hose to a large-diameter PVC discharge pipe. The SANICONDENS BEST comes with 20 feet of vinyl hose, measuring 3/8-inch in diameter, that easily connects to the discharge line, using a 3/8-inch barbed x 3/4-inch male end plastic reducer, also provided with the system.
Long pumping distances for greater installation flexibility: The unit can discharge condensate 15 feet vertically and 150 feet horizontally – or a lesser combination of these two distances. (A vertical run of three feet is equal to a horizontal run of 30 feet.)
Factory-installed check valve: The discharge line is connected to a non-return check valve built into the SANICONDENS BEST unit to keep water from flowing back into the reservoir and reactivating the pump. This factory-installed valve saves the installer time and extra expense on the job site.
Excess water alarm: The unit comes with provisions for a ready-to-wire connection to an external overflow switch that will shut down an appliance or alert the homeowner if the water level rises too high.
