Pressure monitoring capability is now standard on Watts large diameter (2-1/2 in. or larger) Series LF007 and LF709 backflow preventers with NRS gate valves for non-fire applications. Pressure monitoring can be activated on these valves with the purchase of add-on activation kits.
LF007
After activating the pressure monitoring system, users can access live pressure data with their existing building management system (BMS). Live monitoring provides instantaneous assessment of system pressure and check differentials, giving users immediate feedback on the performance of their backflow preventer. With constant pressure measurement, users gain valuable advanced warning of potential issues, adding a layer of protection to the potable water supply from potential backflow events. With the prevention of these events comes the benefit of avoiding the water waste that typically accompanies them.
LF709
Customers can also retrofit existing Watts valves with performance monitoring by ordering a sensor replacement/upgrade kit and BMS monitoring connection kit. For more information, go to https://www.watts.com/performance-monitoring

Combines the efficiency of heat pump technology, the water safety and on-demand features of tankless, with the sustainability and compliance of CO2 refrigerant
Intellihot, an innovative designer/manufacturer of built-environment systems that challenge traditional approaches for sustainability, introduces the Electron family of tankless heat pump water heaters, the first such technology designed and built for commercial applications.
Electron units include: the iE1, an integrated unit with a thermal battery that can be installed indoors or outdoors; and the iE6, a larger modular heat pump that installs outdoors and pairs with the iB3, a thermal battery that installs indoors.
Like all Intellihot water heaters, the Electron has the energy efficiency, water safety and on-demand performance of tankless water heaters. But what makes the Electron unique is its use of electric heat pump technology with CO2 as the refrigerant paired with a specially designed thermal battery. CO2 is environmentally friendly, with an extremely low Global Warming Potential of 1; it has superior heat transfer characteristics compared to synthetic refrigerants; it’s a naturally occurring substance and abundant in the atmosphere; and it’s safe because it’s non-flammable and non-toxic. The specially designed thermal battery stores heat energy and enables heating water on-demand without the need to store large quantities of potable water.
“Today we’re seeing the advent of technologies and policies that will help slow global warming, and heat pumps are one important part of the solution,” said Intellihot CEO Sri Deivasigamani. “We have reinvented the traditional heat pump water heater to combine the
best of tankless water heaters, thermal energy storage, and grid connectivity. Our Electron series sets a new benchmark in performance, ease of installation, and water safety for the commercial industry.”
The Electron Series was made with the needs of contractors and engineers in mind and is well suited for high water pressure multistory buildings, even those with hard water scale. It’s connected to the grid to maximize off-peak electric usage (aided by self-learning) and offers 24/7 factory monitoring to ensure endless volumes of water up to 170°F. Multiple units can be wirelessly cascaded via Bluetooth and all can be made solar-ready with a quick upgrade. These units use efficient variable speed drives for the water pump and CO2 compressor and can be installed indoors or out.
Intellihot is accepting pre-orders now for the iE1, which will start shipping in May 2023. The larger units, iE6 and iB3, will start shipping in August. For more information on the Electron visit https://intellihot.com/electron-ie1/.

Taco’s new and improved, fully-integrated domestic water booster systems are the ideal pressure-boosting solution for multi-residential and commercial buildings.
Each system comes with a range of features and benefits exclusive only to Taco, including an integral controller in every drive that offers complete built-in redundancy and minimizes downtime. A grooved pipe coupling between the pump and header permits greater design flexibility and minimizes installation and maintenance time. Also, an electrical mechanical disconnect allows isolation of an individual pump and drive, enabling the system to continue to run while maintenance is performed. Every Taco Booster Package comes with Taco’s TSL (Taco Smart Logic) Constant Pressure programming.
Available in Simplex, Duplex, Triplex or Quadraplex configurations, these booster packages offer capacities between 125 to 2,000 GPM. Each booster pump package is fully customizable with Taco’s easy-to-use Booster Configurator App. Taco Booster Systems are factory assembled, performance tested, UL labeled, NSF listed and backed by Taco’s technical support team.
