IMPORTANT!
Recommended feedwater quality should be:

operation of the steam generator and may cause premature failure. To ensure proper operation, the
feedwater supply should be tested before operating the steam generator. If feedwater quality is not within
the specified limit, contact a reputable water treatment company for treatment options.
IMPORTANT!
Maximum inlet water pressure is not to exceed 70 psi (483 kPa).
