Hydrolevel VXT-24 Water Feeder

The Hydrolevel VXT-24 Water Feeder (Part Number 45-026) is a precision-engineered 24Vac universal automatic water feeder designed specifically for steam boiler systems. As a veteran-grade solution for managing low water cut-off (LWCO) signals, this unit effectively mitigates the risk of boiler damage caused by excessive make-up water and mineral accumulation. The VXT-24 features a fully programmable delay before feed, adjustable from 30 seconds to 10 minutes, which allows sufficient time for condensate to return to the boiler and prevents overfilling. Professionals can calibrate the programmable feed settings to deliver between 1 and 5 gallons, or set it to feed only until the LWCO is satisfied. The integrated digital feed counter provides an accurate gallon count of all water introduced to the system—including manual overrides—which is critical for diagnosing systemic leaks. With a 1 GPM flow rate and heavy-duty 1/2-inch sweat connections, the Hydrolevel 45-026 ensures reliable performance in diverse residential and light commercial hydronic applications.

• Universal Compatibility: Seamlessly integrates with both probe-type and float-type low water cut-offs.
• System Diagnostics: The non-volatile digital counter tracks cumulative water usage to identify hidden leaks before they cause structural boiler failure.
• Flood Protection: Built-in lockout logic prevents accidental flooding by stopping operation after two consecutive feed cycles fail to restore the water level.
• Flexible Installation: Features a rotatable housing and includes 1/2-inch sweat adapters to accommodate various piping geometries.
• Underfeed Prevention: Ensures sufficient water levels by initiating a second feed cycle if the initial volume does not satisfy the LWCO.

In steam systems, condensate often takes time to return through the headers. By programming a delay, the Hydrolevel VXT-24 ensures the system doesn't add unnecessary fresh water while the existing water is still returning, preventing high-water conditions and surging.

Yes. The digital feed counter is the primary tool for leak detection. If the counter shows a spike in water consumption, it indicates a breach in the steam pipes or a failing return line, allowing for proactive repairs.

Absolutely. Every gallon added via the manual feed button is recorded, ensuring the 45-026 water feeder maintains an airtight record of the total oxygen-rich water introduced to the cast iron sections.
