New Products
Clear condensate drain lines
RECTORSEAL IS NOW a master national distributor of Drain Guard HVAC condensate drain guard products.
A significant nuisance and the source of many callbacks to HVAC installations, white slime, algae, fungus, and bacteria co- mingle and can cause failures in condensate drain lines.
A simple one-time installation of a Drain Guard T-Body assembly and cartridge provides a slow-releasing formula that provides drain protection for up to six months.
The unit's transparent design allows for a quick view to ensure the Drain Guard unit is activated and to identify when the next Drain Guard cartridge is needed. After the initial cartridge is exhausted, a kit that contains two cartridges allows up to 12 months of protec- tion against condensate drain line failure.
RectorSeal’s senior vice president of sales and marketing, Jeff Underwood, said the company continues to invest in innovative products to support HVAC technicians.
"Clogged or slow draining condensate drain lines, especially those associated with white slime, can cause problems that can be easily prevented and eradicated by using the Drain Guard system,” he said.
“Drain Guard products will be available at all RectorSeal distributor and sales representative locations."
Patent-pending Drain Guard kits require no electrical components and are easy to install. Drain Guard components are laboratory-tested and are specifically designed for easy installa- tion and operation by HVAC technicians.

hundreds of calls with clogged condensate drains and white slime in evaporator pans.
“We install Drain Guard on every new instal- lation and have stocked our entire fleet with the products,” he said.
Drain Guard offers an outstanding solution for eliminating white slime and keeps conden- sate drains flowing. It saves time during instal- lation and helps avoid unnecessary and expensive customer callbacks.

Clean air for large buildings without HVAC
EFFECTIV HVAC HAS launched an air purifi- cation system for large buildings without HVAC systems.
The company recently revealed that it had designed an innovative alternative to portable air purifiers, capable of treating up to 750 cfm (cubic feet per minute) for a total of 375 cfm per UV Diffuser.
While portable air purifiers help alleviate
some of the ventilation needs of large buildings without HVAC systems, they also create strong air jets in the occupied space which are bad for thermal comfort and also encourage the air- borne transmission of diseases.
Designed to conclusively solve the problem, the new solution by EffectiV HVAC mixes air more efficiently in the room to reduce the con- centration of contaminants.
The incredible new UV Phantom does not require an HVAC system but is instead powered by a quiet fan certified Energy Star and works by extracting air through an architectural filter return, treating, and then redistributing the extracted air back into the room with the help of two highly efficient UV Diffusers.
The new purifier is completely discreet and unobtrusive, as it can be easily installed on any ceiling with the majority of its parts hidden from sight, allowing it to mix the air closer to the ceiling and eliminate the crea- tion of unwanted air drafts in the occupied space.
EffectiV HVAC president, Frank Godbout, said the PLAY-UV Diffusers are adjustable to ensure even air mixing across the room.
He said the location and arrangement of the return air grille and diffusers are very flexible to adapt to virtually any room size and configuration.
“Air devices can be positioned strategically in the room to optimise air mixing,” he said.
After a series of third-party testing with live samples of SARS-CoV-2, the UV Diffusers achieved 99.9 per cent average single-pass deac- tivation of the virus while supplying 458 cfm of air per diffuser.
