Principles of Water Treatment
1) Minimize the corrosion potential of system metallurgy.
2) Keep water in the 8 to 10 pH range.
3) Acts as an oxygen scavenger.
4) Water treatment supplied with the heatMOr™ does not give any freeze protection.
5) With proper chemical control, longer equipment life can be achieved.
6) Maintain the Molybdate in the operating range of 200-300ppm.
addition of Water treatment
When installing a completely new system, we recommend that the system first be filled with water only. After
two or three days of operation, check that all air is out of the system, and all connections are leak free. Once the
entire system is confirmed to be leak free, add the water treatment.
To add water treatment to the HEATMOR™ furnace, follow these steps.
1) Before adding the treatment, drain out a corresponding amount of water.
2) Remove the weighted pop off ball from the relief vent pipe.
3) Take a funnel and place it into the relief vent pipe.
4) Pour the entire contents of the water treatment chemical, as supplied, into the HEATMOR™ furnace.
5) Top up your HEATMOR™ furnace with water, fill the bladder, and replace the pop off ball. Refer to
“Filling the Bladder Initially” for details or contact your local dealer.
Water Treatment Maintenance / Result
The water in the HEATMOR™ should be chemically analyzed once per year to ensure the proper levels of
treatment are being maintained. Send a sample of water from your HEATMOR™, equal to approximately 20
ounces, in a clean container to :
Heatmor, Inc.
PO Box 787
Warroad, MN 56763
or you can also send the sample to your local dealer.
The amount of water treatment that has to be added yearly is dependent on how much fresh water you have
added to your system since the last test. Be certain to add a water treatment that is approved by your dealer
and HEATMOR™ Inc.
