A new smart home appliance creates water from the moisture in the air at scale. The WaterCube 100 (WC-100) is an IoT-enabled home and office appliance that is the size of an HVAC unit and sustainably generates more than 100 gallons of fresh water daily from the air around it — enough for a household of four. The WaterCube 100 uses Renewable Water from Air (RWA) technology that mimics nature’s process of extracting water from the air.Designed for ease of maintenance and reliability, the WaterCube 100 represents a technological leap forward and a significant change from conventional water sourcing methods, such as municipal supplies, wells, or drought-prone bodies of water. It supplies homeowners with enough clean, drinkable water to meet their household’s daily water demand, reducing or eliminating dependence on municipal water grids or wells. Created for home or office, WaterCube 100 (WC-100) allows users to produce fresh water quickly. From the moment WaterCube 100 powers on, users gain peace of mind knowing they have clean, affordable water their way.

The Ambient Air-to-Water Hydronic Heat Pump is introduced by U.S. Boiler Company for residential customers looking to upgrade their hydronic systems with the most efficient electric option available.
The new heat pump has a 5-ton capacity (rated at 60 MBH) and provides reliable space heating with outdoor temperatures as low as -13°F. Offering a COP of up to 3.95 (395% efficiency) and delivering supply temperatures of up to 140°F, the Ambient Heat Pump offers significant energy savings over conventional electric heating systems.
Installation is simple, whether the monoblock heat pump is installed in a new residence or is retrofitted into an existing hydronic system. It’s also easy to install as a stand-alone heat source or in dual-fuel applications.
The heat pump uses environmentally friendly R-32 refrigerant for high efficiency and low global warming potential. Its DC inverter Enhanced Vapor Injection (EVI) technology is extremely quiet, with operating sound levels as low as 39 decibels at two-foot distance (quieter than most refrigerators).
The Ambient Heat Pump is available with an optional dual-fuel controller for applications in extremely cold climates. The controller, as part of a kit, allows the installer to seamlessly integrate the heat pump with a new or existing fossil fuel or electric boiler. No additional venting or re-sizing of existing hydronic piping is necessary.
The new system is available as a stand-alone unit, or as part of two different packages, depending on whether the heat pump will be the only source of hydronic heat in the home or in tandem with a boiler.
Both packages include a 5.7-inch touchscreen controller which is mounted inside the home. Other packaged accessories include a 40-gallon buffer tank with backup heating elements, a Taco® 0013 circulator, circulator flange kit, flat plate heat exchanger, pressure relief valve, drain valve, and relays. The dual fuel package also includes the dual fuel controller.
U.S. Boiler Company has launched an Electrification Program to assist homeowners and contractors in adopting air-to-water heat pumps. Visit www.usboiler.net to learn more about the products and enroll in the program.

The latest evolution of the leading U.S. designer and manufacturer’s reliable and efficient NeoTherm line delivers enhanced functionality and easy installation for a variety of applications
Laars® Heating Systems, a leading U.S. designer and manufacturer of boilers, water heaters, and pool heaters used in residential, commercial, and industrial applications, announces the release of the new NeoTherm® XTR commercial boilers and volume water heaters.
The NeoTherm XTR is available as a condensing boiler or volume water heater, with venting up to 150 equivalent feet, has top water and gas piping connections, and can be common-vented, offering increased installation flexibility. NeoTherm XTR units have AHRI certified 96%-plus thermal efficiencies, a reliable low pressure-drop stainless steel heat exchanger, and 10:1 combustion turndown.
“The NeoTherm XTR marks the evolution of our field-proven NeoTherm product line,” said Chuck O’Donnell, director of marketing for Laars Heating Systems. “Listening to feedback from our heating professionals, we kept the features in the NeoTherm they liked and added new features that make the NeoTherm XTR even better — more robust, easier to install, and with enhanced control functionality that better serves a wide variety of installation requirements.”
Each NeoTherm XTR uses the powerful LaarsLinc® icon-driven control system that includes Laars Vari-Prime® pump control. Laars Vari-Prime controls a variable speed boiler pump to maintain a fixed, user-selectable, boiler temperature rise, maximizing total installed efficiency.
The Laars Linc intuitive control system with color touchscreen has an easy to navigate control structure that displays key performance measures, a quick start option, and a USB input for parameter upload. It easily connects to building automation systems via on board BACnet or Modbus protocols and has many other features, including the ability to cascade up to eight units.
NeoTherm XTR boilers and volume water heaters are available in six sizes, from 399 to 1500 MBH for natural gas applications.

WaterFurnace International introduces the new 7 Series with OptiDryTM to provide the ideal comfort solution for locations that face high humidity levels. An optional feature for our industry leading 7 Series geothermal heating and cooling system, it includes integrated reheat coil dehumidification technology to provide a best-in-class alternative to whole-house dehumidification systems. It requires no additional equipment, ductwork, electrical circuits, wiring, or dehumidstat – making it easier for dealers to install and more aesthetically pleasing for homeowners.
The 7 Series with OptiDry replicates the capabilities of WaterFurnace equipment that has proven successful in commercial spaces for more than a decade. This patent-pending technology automatically switches between three modes – cooling only, cooling with dehumidification, and dehumidification only – to maintain comfort consistency at peak efficiency as weather and humidity levels change. It removes up to 2 times the amount of moisture compared to standard whole-house dehumidifiers, comes standard with a 10-year parts warranty and 5-year labor allowance for covered repairs, and offers numerous contractor and homeowner benefits through our Symphony Suite of Tools. Being a geothermal heat pump, it provides homeowners with significant monthly electric bill savings and qualifies for the 30% federal energy tax credit (plus possible state and local savings).
