FRB-HEATER"
The Mueller Fre-Heater conserves eiergy and provides
"free" hot water by capturing the heat now wasted!
HERE'S HOW IT WORKS:
Rather than using noisy, dust-creating fans with fragile, dirt
collecting air-cooled condensers, the refrigerant is routed
to a specially designed condenser/heat exchanger and its
heat is transferred to the water.
A thermostatically controlled valve delivers 145° F water
to a storage tank
In addition to the thermostatic valve, a mixmg valve is
provided to permit "prepping" temperature water
Thus, the Fre-Heater delivers two temperatures of water
prepping and washing
Tests indicate the Fre-Heater consumes 10% less power than
an air-cooled system ... and you gat Free Hot Water!
ELIMINATES REFRIGERATION SERVICE PROBLEMS!
The most common causes of slow cooling in bulk milk
cooling systems are related to the air-cooled condenser.
The Fre-Heater eliminates these problems because:
a There is no air-cooled condenser,
e The Fre-Heater is installed indoors
• There are no noisy fans to fail
• The head pressure is very stable assuring longer
compressor life
• There are no cold weather starting problems, plus
. . . the Fre-Heatsr conserves energy and proiduces

Experienced hobby
gardeners like to try these
superior varieties in their
home gardens, but beginners
should also consider them
because of their ruggedness
and adaptability.
Award-winners this years
include the striking
‘Snowfire’ dianthus plus four
beautiful new zinnia
varieties.
The ‘Snowfire’ pink puts
on a show of fringed white
blossoms with cherry-red
centers. An early bloomer,
‘Snowfire’ is frost and heat
resistant. The plant also
resists rain and wind
damage, and can even
recover from an occasional
HOW MUCH WATER CAN BE GENERATED?
There are many variables, so this question cannot be answered
directly, however, a rule of thumb is that a Fre-Heater operating
on 60° F well water will produce a volume of 145° F. water
similar to the amount of milk produced during a milking
foray by children or pets.
The mounds of blue-green
foliage produced by this
plant are seldom visible due
to the abundance of silver
dollar-sized blossoms
The new ‘Cherrv Ruffles’
and ‘Yellow Ruffles’ zinnias
should be especially popular
with flower-arrangers
because of their long, ar
ching stems and subtle
colors, but both are valuable
landscape plants as well.
These vigorous, mildew
resistant zinnias grow to 24
to 30 inches in height and
produce about two dozen 3
inch blossoms per plant.
Halfway between yellow
and white, the ‘Peter Pan
Cream’ zinnia provides a
restful edging for a summer

The final award-winner,
