WATER QUALITY STATEMENT:

The fact that a water supply is potable is no guarantee that it is suitable
for steam generation. Your water supply must be within these general
guidelines:

SUPPLY PRESSURE 20 - 60 psig
HARDNESS* less than 3 grains
SILICA less than 13 ppm
TOTAL CHLORIDE less than 4.0 ppm
pH RANGE 7-8
UN-DISSOLVED SOLIDS less than 5 microns
* 17.1 ppm = 1 grain of hardness

Other factors affecting steam generation are iron content, amount of
chloridation and dissolved gases. Water supplies vary from state to state
and from locations within a state. Therefore it is necessary that the local
water treatment specialist be consulted before the installation of any
steam generating equipment.

NOTE: In line with its policy to continually improve its products, Vulcan-Hart Company reserves the right to change materials and
specications without notice.
