Tadpole can reduce energy consumption by 15%(29/05/2008)
Cutting energy consumption is a simple step to lower household bills and a smaller carbon footprint. ‘Tagging on a Tadpole’ between the boiler and pump of a central heating system is one practical solution on both counts, as revealed in a new report. The small Tadpole unit works on the simplest of principles and can be fitted to most gas, electric or oil central heating systems. By removing dissolved air in central heating systems, the Tadpole enables the water to reach higher temperatures much faster and using much less energy. Recording the effects of the Tadpole on the energy required to run a typical gas central heating system over a 4-week period, the results showed the device reduced the energy supplied to the central heating system by approximately 15% for a given heat demand...

Tadpole improves efficiency and reduces energy consumption, CO2 emissions and energy bills(19/10/2007)
According to figures from OFGEM and the Centre for Sustainable Energy, an average household emits 3.3 tonnes of CO2 per year from a gas ‘space and water’ central heating system and improving efficiency by 30% could reduce this by almost one tonne per year. If just 10% of the 13 million UK homeowners with a gas boiler heating system improved efficiency by 30% the net reduction of CO2 emissions could be over 1.25 million tonnes a year. 61-year old Stan Whetstone of Barlby North Yorkshire left his 23-year career in the heating industry to put Tadpole into development and the technology was first patented in December 2006. Piloting Tadpole over the last 12 months, Whetstone has recorded an impressive 30% improvement in the efficiency of his own household central heating system with an esti... [read full article]
