Latrobe, PA - September 10, 2018
The NEW Analog "C" Series Heat Siphon's began shipping this month with our new TimerStat Pro Controller that adds a sophisticated status LED light while keeping our economical original "Set It & Forget It!" single knob design.
The LED can display red green & orange to let you know the status of your Heat Siphon at a glance, including - POWER, NO FLOW, HEATING, HI/LOW Pressure Error, Reset Breaker Error & Call Factory for Servuce.
When flashing the LED signifies various conditions such as checking flow, restart delay, heating pool, SEE ABOVE - animation for demonstration.
The TimerStat Pro will mount in the same door as the digital Player Models.
This allows a direct replacement upgrade to Digital without any wiring or harness changes other than a simple jumper. Just remove the door unscrew the plug and replace it with a digital Player door assembly.
"This is a MAJOR improvement which required some changes to the software of the controller, and the minimal cost of adding an LED to the board. The NEW SMART USER FRIENDLY Timerstat Pro will not impact the price of our analog models" says Bill Bernardi, President.
U.S. Manufacturers Ramp Up Production

WASHINGTON—Factory production surged at the end of last year amid broad-based gains in output, signaling U.S. consumer demand may be making up for a pullback in exports. Industrial production, a measure of overall factory, mining and utility output, increased a seasonally adjusted 0.3% in December from the prior month, the Federal Reserve said Friday.
Output at U.S. factories, which accounts for the bulk of the nation’s total industrial output, grew 1.1% last month, the biggest gain since February 2018.
Manufacturers in a variety of categories produced more last month, with vehicle and car-parts makers leading the way.
Production of appliances, clothing, and paper items also ramped up.
Mining output picked up despite recent energy-price volatility, while utility production declined a stark 6.3% from November, largely due to “warmer-than-usual temperatures,” which lowered the demand for heating, according to the Fed’s report.
