1. What is the AquaSmart?
The Beckett AquaSmart is an advanced triple acting boiler temperature control (BTC) designed for use on residential and light com-
mercial boiler systems. A triple acting BTC incorporates a High and Low limit with differential functions. The triple acting BTC also
controls circulator functions. This employs a BTC that acts in reverse. The reverse BTC opens to turn the circulator off if boiler water
temperature drops below a set temperature, typically to maintain a minimum boiler temperature in both the High and Low limit func-
tions. The circulator circulates the heat transfer fl uid to the heated zone. The Beckett AquaSmart comes equipped with the Depart-
ment of Energy (DOE) 2012 compliant HeatManager. All models include the option of enabling the Beckett HeatManager load-match-
ing energy saving calculation. When selected it provides up to 20% fuel consumption savings.
2. What is the Beckett HeatManager Calculation?
The HeatManager saves fuel by dynamically changing the temperature high operating limit to the minimum temperature necessary
to meet the heating demand. The contractor can adjust the HeatManager calculation to maximize comfort or energy savings. The
HeatManager calculation is designed to operate the boiler at its lowest possible temperature while still meeting the heating demand.
By dynamically changing the boiler temperature, it is designed to reduce the energy used by the system without sacrifi cing comfort.

- Page 1 A triple acting BTC incorporates a High and Low limit with differential functions. The triple acting BTC also controls circulator functions. This employs a BTC that acts in reverse. The reverse BTC opens to turn the circulator off if boiler water temperature drops below a set temperature, typically to maintain a minimum boiler temperature in both the High and Low limit func- tions.
- Page 2 As opposed to the new HeatManager calculation the Beckett HeatManager Classic works to hold off the burner from fi ring if the outlet water temperature from the boiler is warm enough to still heat the home. This causes the burner to cycle less and indirectly lowers the average boiler water temperature, which generates fuel savings.
- Page 3 Advanced Self-checking Sensor: The 2N1 AquaSmart sensor measures both “boiler water temperature” and “presence of wa- ter” (low water cut-off) functions. The AquaSmart’s 2N1 sensor continually performs internal self-checks to determine if the sensor is operating properly. With the AquaSmart you can also view Boiler Cycle History 8.
- Page 4 Our Environment defi nitely Benefi ts with the AquaSmart. Did you know that if every Boiler in the United States used the AquaSmart control it would reduce our nation’s fuel consumption by the equivalent of 24.6 million barrels of fuel/year? We all can be a part of this solution.
