news I'm in the market to replace my split-system heat pump A/C. An installer
came by today and said that there is a "new r22" that eliminates the need
for the expensive puron (r410). I googled and couldn't find anything about
this "new r22". Has anyone read anything about it?

Maybe this is what you are looking for.

Suspose to replace the r22,407 and 417.

I don't know anything about it, but some bulliten boads do not seem to
recommend it.
