March 2023 Planters Guide Edition developer of HUG Hydronics. “However, the act of setting up a traditional hydronic system would often take two days to complete and the craftsmen who could do it are slowly retiring out of the business.” “We decided that luxury was something everybody should have,” said Hunt. To meet the demand, the team at HUG decided that simplicity was a priority. “We made our system so it can use any type of boiler, run in a zero-pressure environment, and, on top of that, made it so easy to install, anyone can put it together in about an hour,” said Hunt. Traditional hydronic system requires many complicated parts, including control & mixing valves, copper piping, pressure tanks, manifolds, bubble removers, and must be run under a pressurized system. Not only do they have all those requirements, they must be installed by a trained professional. The HUG Hydronics system takes all of those barriers and does away with them. “Once the boiler’s been installed, anyone can set up the HUG Hydronics system,” assured Hunt. Instead of the complicated traditional system that has been unchanged for decades, the HUG Hydronics system relies on submersible pumps laid into a tank of water. These pumps are directly connected to the PEX pipes that have been laid in the floor. These pumps circulate the heated fluid through the floor and are very easy to connect. “The second I saw it, I knew it was going to work wonderfully,” said Minnesota contractor Neal Lesmeister, of Weathershield Homes. “I’ve already recommended it to other contractors.” Contractors have picked up on the hydronics trend by incorporating HUG Hydronics into their build schedule. Instead of having to wait on the limited number of hydronics installers, they have been able to install the system within their own team, adding to their profit margins and slimming down their wait times. “While it has benefits for professional users, the real utility of HUG Hydronics shines when a homeowner can simply read the instruction page and have our system installed by themselves,” shared Hunt. “We’re really proud of how effectively simple it is.” HUG Hydronics is available to purchase online at www.hughydronics.com Hunt Utilities Group is an engineering design corporation based in Pine River, MN.
