Review of Sorbox Elysator filter

Paul Pollets

The Sorbox has been on-line for over 3 weeks now. When we commissioned it, the boiler pH was at 6.2 and the conductivity was 268. Yesterday we tested the water and the pH had risen to 7.4 and the conductivity dropped to 202. The system is installed with a Vitodens 200 boiler in a 24 room dormitory. Corrosion had burned a hole through the 3 way mixing valve, despite O2 barrier tubing. Sorbox engineers said we did not have to add buffer solution to raise the pH...the unit would do so on its own. We're testing weekly to observe pH changes. I like what I see. So does the facility where the device was installed. They have 6 other boilers they'd like converted from chemical pot feeders to Sorbox units.

Hey Paul, Where are you sourcing the Sorbox? I need a contact for price and availability.

Thanks Paul. I sent him an email.

1/5/2015--New results. After 90 days from installation, the boiler water pH has risen to 8.95 with the Sorbox. I like it when a product performs as advertised. The facility will order 6 more for the other boiler systems.

Would these work on steam boilers, maybe piped like a hot water loop to rectify water problems?--NBC

Paul Pollets

No, closed loop systems only.

Paul, do you have it piped as a bypass, or 100% of the flow passing thru?

Paul Pollets

100% flow, but it's piped with a bypass, just in case.
