The Mikrofill 3 hydronic system pressurization unit is the most advanced, “direct-type” pressurization unit available for sealed, low-pressure hot-water (LPHW) and chilled-water (CHW) commercial and multifamily residential applications, the company says.

For testers, backflow test management software now helps to automate redundant data entry such as tester ID and credentials, test kit calibration, etc. 

Watts announces the addition of the ArmorTek advanced coating system to its ductile-iron backflow preventer valves. This advanced patent-pending technology provides three layers of protection to create an effective barrier, dramatically increasing resistance to corrosion, Watts explains. ArmorTek provides an advanced primer, which contains an electrochemical corrosion inhibitor. It significantly slows the spread of corrosion should the metal substrate become exposed from wear or impact. ArmorTek’s exclusive formulation also inhibits the growth of bacteria that cause microbial-induced corrosion or MIC.

If you have ever waited in anticipation for something, and it cannot happen soon enough, you know the meaning of the expression, “A watched pot never boils.” 

“The grass is always greener on the other side,” is what people usually say when someone makes a life decision that is predominantly based on perceived notions. 

Pressure can spike or drop without warning. Changes occur from a slew of outside factors — improperly sized pipes, a broken pipe, peak demand on the system or a drop in the city’s mains, gravity, static or any vacuum-like force. 

Zurn expands its Zurn connected backflow preventer product line with the Zurn connected pressure monitor (ZCSM-PF) and Zurn connected flow meter option (ZCSM-BTM).

Let’s face it. Backflow preventers are essential for safeguarding our water supply, but they’re not necessarily glamorous.
