Winix Inc. introduces their first FINECEL™ Ultrafiltration POU system in the US. The NSF 53- and NSF 42-certified system combines the highest quality UF membrane with highly effective carbon block filtration, with style and smart features. A dual-monitoring system (flowmeter plus filter life monitor) uses both visual and audible signals, which tells users when each filter needs to be replaced. Other features include no wastewater and no storage tank; Winix’s proprietary Smart Connection, which guarantees proper filter alignment and stops water flow without the need to turn off the water; quick and easy installation under the sink or on the counter, and an auxiliary outlet that allows easy connection to a second faucet or refrigerator dispenser. www.winixinc.com, info@winixinc.com

John Guest offers color-coded collet covers in both inch and metric sizes for use in water treatment/filtration systems. These collet covers are part of the Twist & Lock collet assembly in the company’s standard line of push-fit fittings and are made of durable, tough cross-linked polyethylene (PEX). The covers are available in the following color selections for color-coding purposes: black, yellow, blue, red, grey and green. Available sizes range from 3/16” to 5/16” and 4 to 22 mm. These covers feature the patented collet, which comes with stainless steel teeth to grip inserted pipe and provides, along with an EPDM O-ring, a permanent, leak-proof seal. The company also offers a collet locking tool in sizes ranging from 3/16” to 1/2”. www.johnguest.com, maribel.pagan@johnguestusa.com

The Contiform 3 is the latest generation of Krones’ stretch blow-molding machine series, available now in a purposefully—in some parts entirely—redesigned version of the individual process steps involved. The blow-molding module has been entirely revamped and the field-proven linear oven of the Contiform S/H series has been design-enhanced and principally optimized in regard to its energy consumption. It has been developed in sizes ranging from eight to 36 blow-molding stations, thus enabling record outputs to be achieved of up to 81,000 containers per hour. www.krones.com

For residential and commercial applications, Matco-Norca offers its Tankless Water Heater Kits, consisting of separate hot and cold valves with pressure relief valve included. The valves, available in union-x threaded or union-x solder ends with an integral 0.375-inch (9.525 mm) FNPT relief valve port, are made of brass and steel with an EPDM O-ring, and carry a 600# non-shock rating. Both valves have a full-port, one-quarter-turn design, blow-out proof stem and an integral hose end drain/purge port and cap. The companion 0.375-inch pressure relief valve, made of bronze, brass and stainless steel with a silicone seat disc, is a 150# designed specifically for protection of hot water supply systems. It is installed directly on the tank or in a tee and can go on either side of the water heater. The device carries ASME Section IV, ANSI Z21 and CSA 4.4 certifications. www.matco-norca.com, melissag@matco-norca.com

CSI Water Treatment Systems introduces the NITRO™ filtration system, which utilizes the unique piston-motion-control Signature II control valve. This feature allows the processor to speed up or slow down in forward and reverse. The control is also equipped with the advanced TWEDO™ (twin electronic drive operation) function (patents pending) for advanced multiple function processes. Ready-to-use Oxyclean-N cleans and disinfects the system every backwash cycle without the use of a feed pump, an industry first. Features include a 9V battery backup, weather/insect-resistant slide cover, two-button programming and a seven-year limited CSI factory warranty. www.csih2o.com, info@csih20.com

Membrana-Charlotte introduces the 14 x 40 Liqui-Cel® membrane contactor to its product family, extending the product line’s capacity from 400 gpm to 550 gpm (125 m3) in a single device, representing a >30-percent increase in capacity. Larger flowrates are handled by piping multiple contactors together in parallel, and additional capacity allows degassing systems to be built using fewer contactors and connections, resulting in a smaller footprint with lower capital expense. Due to the increased membrane area, radial flow velocity is reduced, resulting in a low pressure drop for this design. The contactor utilizes a polypropylene hollow fiber and durable PVC housing, and the module contains 4,015 square feet (373 m2) of membrane area. Pressure rating is 4.1 bar (60 psig). The product is NSF/ANSI 61-compliant. www.liqui-cel.com, info@liqui-cel.com
