Water Quality Requirements

Total hardness (expressed as CaCo

3

)

less than 100 PPM

Suspended solids

less than 50 PPM

Maximum water temperature (cooler discharge)

140°F/60°C

pH range

6.0 - 8.5

Langlier saturation index (LI)

+0.5 - +1.0

A low pH level promotes corrosion and high levels of dissolved oxygen.

A high pH level increases the chance of scale formation.

A low LI indicates the water tends to be corrosive.

A high LI indicates a tendency to form scale.

It is recommended to contact a reputable water treatment professional if there are questions
regarding water quality.
