he right circulator will generate energy savings for years. Advanced variable speed technology increases circulator efficiency; even though the circulator and motor are small, the energy savings can add up. Homeowners will appreciate the reduced operating costs and reduced carbon footprint. For contractors, a well-designed circulator is easy to install and will reduce or eliminate customer complaints. For wholesalers and contractors, a circulator that covers a broad range of operating requirements makes the selection process easier, leaving more time for serving customers. Inventory costs are also important. The right choice of circulator lets you serve more customers and installations with only one model. Keeping fewer circulator models on your shelf, or in your trucks, cuts your inventory investment and your operating costs.
