"X" BOILER LIQUID FINDS AND FIXES LEAKS 

 IN THE GREENHOUSE HEATING EQUIPMENT 



What losses in a sfreenhouse 

 a faulty heatin^r system 

 may causel 



Even if leaks do not cause the 

 shut-down of the plant, they 

 make it necessary to burn more 

 coal. 



Scale and rust in the system 

 also use up more coal — 25% 

 more for every one-ei^rhth inch 

 of scale. 



P/?£V£iVr/0^affainst leaks. 



rust and scale is the best and 

 cheapest insurance. 



Add "X" Boiler Liquid to the 

 water in the boiler. It works 

 from the inside, keeps the heat- 

 ing system clean and repairs 

 all leaks instantly. A perma- 

 nent, metal-like repair in half 

 an hour which will stand 500 

 lbs. pressure. 



Keep "X" Boiler Liquid in 

 the heating system constantly 

 for insurance and economy.

prepaid, on receipt of price. $6.00 per quart. $10.00 per lialf gallon.

to 65 degrees in zero weather, about 450 

 square feet of radiation will be required 

 and a heater rated for about 600 square 

 feet will be needed, especially if soft 

 coal is to be used. 



It will not be possible to arrange a 

 coil in a hot air furnace that can supply 

 this amount of radiation and it will be 

 necessary to provide a regular hot 

 water heater. This may be placed in 

 the basement of the dwelling. While it 

 will vary somewhat in the different 

 makes of heaters, the grate should have 

 a diameter of at least twenty inches.

It will be possible to have the system 

 placed under pressure, either by means 

 of a mercury generator or by utilizing 

 the pressure of the city water system, 

 but the results will be more satisfactory 

 if an open-tank system is used. 



For piping the house we would use 

 a 3-inch flow pipe on the back wall, 

 about ten feet above the floor, and a
