"Ideal" Hot Water Circulator 



Sa.ves 25% to 40% of Fuel 



Returns the water hot to the boiler, thus ensuring an eveu 

 temperature in every part of the system. It is simple in construe 

 tion, easy to operate, and can readily be attached to any hot 

 water heating system 



"It is remarkable the small amount of power required 

 to operate this Circulator, and the even temperature it is 

 possible to maintain in all pipes throughout the system. 

 Another point not to be overlooked, is when the Circulator 

 is in use an even distribution of heat can be maintained 

 with great saving in fuel cost."— Pease Heating Co., Ltd.,
