THE RAY HIGH-EFFICIENCY CONDENSING CAST IRON BOILER runs on either propane or natural gas with no conversion kit required. It delivers from 40,000 to 199,000 Btuh at 92.7% AFUE, making it among the most green residential heating appliances available. It features SmartCycle technology, an on-board digital monitoring and control device that learns the most efficient firing rate based on actual use.

THE ISOLAR DIFFERENTIAL TEMPERATURE CONTROLLER is a compact, multi-functional controller for use in a wide array of applications. It features inputs for four sensors, and factory preset defaults able to control a standard solar water heating system with a secondary relay to divert surplus heat. The auxiliary relay can maintain tank temperature, protect the system from overheating, or direct another source to heat the storage tank. A built-in energy meter is able to record energy production of solar hot water. Four different models are available.
