HOT WATER
IS ONLY ONE
REASON FOR
OWNING A
THERMA*STOR
OTHER REASONS
+ + +
Since the Therma»Stor
completely eliminates fan
cooled condensers, these addi
tional advantages are yours, too:
□ NO COLD WEATHER START
ING PROBLEMS—Because nowyo
can locate your compressors indoors. □-FASTER HOT
WEATHER COOLING AND LONGER COMPRESSOR LIFE -
Because using cold water for condensing instead of hot summer
air reduces and stabilizes compressor head pressure. □ NO
COSTLY COMPRESSOR FAILURES CAUSED BY BURNED-OUT
FAN MOTORS. □ NO DIRTY CONDENSER FINS TO UNCLOG.
If you’re interested in increased cooling-system reliability,
better performance, less maintenance and repair—and FREE
HOT WATER—you can get it all by owning a Therma«Stor And
it all adds up to lower expenses and higher profits.
