NTI Boilers, an Ariston Group company, has introduced upgrades to its current flagship wall hung condensing boilers, the TRX and FTVN. The two condensing wall hung boilers now offer a brand new user interface for an enhanced user experience and easier set-up and troubleshooting for the contractor.
The new technology upgrades allow for easier set-up and troubleshooting on NTI’s TRX Series II and FTVN Series II boilers. Standard features on the boilers include factory-supplied capabilities for two zones, an EXTRATECH stainless steel heat exchanger, and integrated and easily-serviced direct hot water filter and boiler kit. The boilers also offer NTI Net for remote troubleshooting and WiFi capability.
NTI FTVN Condensing Wall Hung Boilers
The TRX model includes a water tube heat exchanger, while the FVTN is a fire tube exchanger. In a water tube exchanger, water flows through tubes arranged inside a furnace filled with gas. In the fire tube model, boilers generate heat by pumping hot gas through tubes submerged in water. Fire tube boilers are generally more compact and can be used in smaller spaces while water tube heat exchangers can handle higher pressures.
Systems can be designed to cascade up to eight boilers. The units also include an LP conversion kit, OD sensor, vent pipe screens, pressure gauge and relief valve.
NTI Net provides the contractor or homeowner with the ability for remote troubleshooting after registering and connecting to the home’s WiFi. The connectivity empowers technicians to remotely view real-time boiler data including settings, status, history and statistics in an easily understandable format.
In addition, setting adjustments are more user-friendly. Technicians can modify the setting and submit, and NTI Net will implement the change while tracking who made the adjustment and when it was made.

Watts has announced the launch of the Pure Water Residential Dual Media 45K Softening and Filtration System. This comprehensive whole-house solution combines advanced water softening and filtration in a single, space-saving design.
The Pure Water Residential Dual Media 45K system is engineered to deliver optimal water softening with a maximum ion exchange capacity of 45,000 grains. The system incorporates Granular Activated Carbon (GAC), which effectively reduces chlorine taste and odors while extending the life of the softening resin, offering homeowners both superior performance and enhanced water quality.
In addition to its performance benefits, the system’s design maximizes efficiency and cost-effectiveness. By combining water softening and filtration technologies into one tank, the system reduces the space required for installation and lowers overall costs. The GAC and resin are housed in separate chambers, which not only enhances efficiency, but also reduces media replacement costs. Maintenance is further simplified with the inclusion of a mineral tank dome hole, providing easy access for GAC media replacement.
The Pure Water Residential Dual Media 45K system also features state-of-the-art computer programming, which optimizes operating efficiency and conserves both salt and water.
