_________________________________________________________ 
1.1  Introduction

 

 
Thank you for your purchase of the Fluidix D.I. Water Heating System.  We have strived in the 
engineering and redesign of the Fluidix D.I. Water Heating System to provide you with a 
product that has quality, performance, reliability, serviceability, and safety.  Further, it is our 
goal to support you, the customer, and the equipment in as positive and professional a manner 
as possible. 
 
This manual serves as a guide to how the unit is designed and how it is to be properly operated 
for maximum performance and safety.  It is strongly recommended that you and others who 
will work with the unit read the entire manual prior to the use of the system.  It is our 
recommendation that the manual be kept readily available to others who may later need to refer 
to it. 
 
Another feature of this manual is the sections dealing with servicing.  We realize that the 
competitive business in which this equipment will be used is very sensitive to production 
downtime.  One of the prime considerations in the engineering of all Fluidix systems is the 
feature of user serviceability.   This philosophy of user serviceability has not been designed to 
shift the servicing responsibility to the customer, but rather to give the customer the servicing 
capability to react quickly to virtually any possible issue that may occur.  This ability allows 
you to have greater control over your production environment and to have one more weapon to 
preclude lengthy downtimes.  We are confident that if the instructions for the proper operation 
and maintenance of the system are followed the unit will have years of trouble free service. 
 
Please read the manual carefully: the system is not difficult to operate, but does require some 
detailed understanding in order for it the unit to properly function.  Feel free to call Heateflex 
Corporation with any questions regarding start-up or maintenance.
