WARNING!
The heat exchanger must be isolated from the water system when the
system undergoes a “superchlorination” or “shock chlorination”
flushing process. Closing the isolation valves as shown in Figure 11
prior to initiating the system flushing process isolates the heat
exchanger. The water entering the heat exchanger after the system
flushing must not exceed a chlorine level consistent with the local
municipal water purification standards. Failure to isolate the heat
exchanger will damage the heat exchanger causing system failure.
Allowing highly chlorinated water to enter the heat exchanger will void
the EarthLinked
