A local school district in Fountain, CO, replaced cast iron boilers and invested in protecting their entire system while simultaneously increasing efficiency by installing a BoilerMag XT<\/a>.<\/p>\n

BoilerMag XT<\/a> will prevent any build-up of black sludge and scale, while reducing energy bills, increasing system life, and reducing maintenance call outs.<\/p>\n

This local school is now protected and ready for the cold months ahead!<\/p>\n

The picture below shows how much contamination was captured from the BoilerMag after 12 weeks of running and a second cleaning. Imagine just how much damage this would do circulating through your system.<\/p>\n

Sludge build-up can be easily avoided by ensuring your hydronics system is properly cleaned and maintained. Make sure to install a BoilerMag to protect your investment!<\/p>\n
