WATER QUALITY INFORMATION

I N S T A L L E R

For optimum results, the water supply should be tested prior

o installation. If the mineral content exceeds the following

t
recommended limits, various external treatment processes
are recommended to correct the problem.

NOTE: An analysis of the on-site water must be made by
a recognized and reliable water treatment company to
ascertain the existing condition and treatment required.

Poor water quality can affect efficiency or result in steam gen­erator damage. Water contains impurities in solution and sus­pension. These impurities concentrate in the generator. The
concentration of these impurities increases as more feedwater
is introduced into the generator and steam is produced. If the
suspended solids are allowed to concentrate beyond certain
limits, a deposit or “scale” will form on the generator internal
surfaces. This deposit can interfere with the proper generator
operation and cause generator failure. The concentration of
these impurities is generally controlled by the water quality
and by periodic draining of the generator.

RECOMMENDED FEEDWATER Q UALITY

Hardness, ppm 8 – 85 (~0.5 – 5 gpg)
P-Alkalinity, ppm 85 – 410 (~5 – 24 gpg)
T. Alkalinity, ppm 200 – 500 (~7 – 0 gpg)
pH (strength of alkalinity) 8.0 – 11.4

Every 2 months, or more often in “hard” water areas,
the manual drain valve should be opened fully flushing
out accumulated materials, salts and other particles
which are natural by-products of boiling water.

The optional AutoFlush System feature automatically
