WATER QUALITY 

 
Water supply quality may adversely affect the efficiency and performance of water heaters and hot water systems.  
The situation can intensify where higher temperatures or demands exist. 
 
Water hardness should not exceed 205ppm CaCO

3

 and TDS (Total Dissolved Solids) of untreated water should 

not exceed 350ppm.  If these values are exceeded, contact Lochinvar Limited for further guidance.

LOCATION 

 

6.1

 

PLANT ROOM REQUIREMENTS 

 

The  Lochinvar  EcoShield  may  only  be  installed  in  a  room  that  complies  with  the  appropriate  ventilation 
requirements. 

 
The Lochinvar EcoShield can be used as a type C

 or C

 appliance.  Due to its room sealed design, 

ventilation  allowances  for  combustion  air  are  not  necessary,  provided  the  minimum  clearances  and  service 

clearances as detailed in Figure 3.2 are observed.  If the appliance is to be installed in a compartment or a hot 
environment, the minimum clearances detailed in Figure 3.1 should be observed.  In addition to this or to comply 
with the recommendations in 

BS6644

, ventilation for cooling purposes must be fitted.  For further guidance, please 

refer to 

Section 9

 

AIR SUPPLY

 or to 

BS5440-2

 or 

BS6644

 as appropriate. 

 

The Lochinvar EcoShield can also be used as a type B

23

 appliance.  If such a configuration is to be used, then 

appropriate ventilation for cooling and combustion must be provided.  For further details, please refer to 

Section 9

 

AIR SUPPLY

 or to 

BS5440-2

 or 

BS6644

 as appropriate. 

 

6.2

 

GENERAL REQUIREMENTS 

 
Corrosion  of  the  heat  exchanger  and  flue  system  may  occur  if  air  for  combustion  contains  certain  chemical 
vapours.  Such corrosion may result in poor combustion and create a risk of asphyxiation.  Aerosol propellants, 

cleaning  solvents,  refrigerator  and  air  conditioning  refrigerants,  swimming  pool  chemicals,  calcium  and  sodium 
chloride, waxes and process chemicals are corrosive.  Products of this sort should not be stored near the water 
heater or outside by the air intake (if applicable).  The fitting of this equipment in a situation where aerosols or 

other chemicals may be entrained into the combustion air will invalidate the warranty. 
 

The equipment must be installed on a level surface that is capable of adequately supporting its weight (when filled 
with water) and any ancillary equipment.  The operation of the equipment must not cause the temperature of any 
combustible  material  in  the  vicinity  of  the  equipment  and  its  flue  to  exceed  65°C.    If  such  a  situation  is 

unavoidable, appropriate insulation should be provided. 
 
Locate  the  equipment  so  that  if  the  appliance  or  any  connecting  pipework  should  leak,  water  damage  will  not 

occur.  When such locations cannot be avoided it is recommended that a suitable drain pan be installed under the 
equipment.  The pan should be adequately drained but must not restrict the combustion or ventilation airflow.
