Select Radiator Series
System Start-Up & Maintenance
MYSON
Failure to flush system of debris and flux may cause premature radiator failure, which
can result in leaks and property damage NOT covered under the Myson Warranty.
SYSTEM START-UP
Step 1
Fill and vent the system.
Step 2
Run the system for two (2) hours at full temperature with all radiator valves in the
open position.
Step 3
Shut off and drain the system while the water is still hot.
Step 4
Refill the system.
Step 5
Reheat, vent, and balance the system.
Step 6
Once the Select Radiator is filled with water the system should be left filled.
Step 7
System should be checked for leaks on seasonal start-ups. Leaks must be repaired
as automatic system fill valves allow fresh water/oxygen into the system attacking
radiators internally.
MAINTENANCE & CLEANING
1
Once operating, avoid the introduction of fresh water and oxygen to the system to
prevent
corrosion.
2
An occasional wiping with a damp cloth using a non abrasive detergent can protect
the finish of your Myson Select Panel Radiator.
3
The use of abrasive cleaners will damage the surface of your radiator, and void the
manufacturer’s
warranty.
ADDITIVES
Treatment of the primary water is not usually required in a properly designed system.
Treatment may be necessary if either:
1
Local waters are known for their content of corrosive material or if high bacterial levels
are
present.
2
If there is a possibility that the system may be idle during a prolonged period of freezing
temperatures, system should be either drained or protected with antifreeze. If either
corrosion inhibitors or anti-freeze is to be used, it should be added AFTER the system
has been flushed in the final stages. Use only anti-freeze suitable for potable water.
Do not put heating system into operation without checking for leaks with the system up to
full operating temperature. Leaks can appear in a heated system that were not noticeable
with a cold system or air pressure check.
