Buddy Felt of GEM Mechanical Services, Inc. based in Boston, Massachusetts is the latest installer to recommend the BoilerMag XT heating and cooling system filter.
Our very own BoilerMag representative across the pond in the New England area had been working closely with Fluid Industrial Associates. Inc. (FIA) for years. For them, the BoilerMag XT was a “no-brainer” to prevent damage to the newly installed hydronic heating and cooling system.
After only 8 hrs, the BoilerMagXT filtered tremendous amounts of particulate and sludge that were plaguing the system, providing an instant solution to the problems they were experiencing and increasing the efficiency of the heating system dramatically.
Buddy Felt said: “I know the importance of using magnetic filters, especially on high-efficiency systems. When it comes to choosing the right magnet for the job, BoilerMag is the clear choice.” BoilerMag is recommended by FIA for all of their high-efficiency upgrades. It reduces the working pressure of the system by removing sludge buildup in boilers, pipes, and fittings.

During the height of summer, Robert Sorby took its show on the road with a demonstration tour of New Zealand and Australia. Organised with Robert Sorby customer Carbatec, the tour took in 32 shows at venues across both countries, where more than 800 wood turners turned out to see Robert Sorby’s Chris Pouncy deliver a series of well received demonstration classes.
As well supporting significant sales spikes during and after the events, these shows offer Robert Sorby an unmatched point of difference to our competition and have ensured major territory gains over the past few years. Our rivals simply can’t match our global presence! This year alone we’ve travelled tens of thousands of miles attending almost 100 events in 12 countries,
from New Zealand to the USA. A phenomenal achievement for such a small team – even if we do say so ourselves!
