Start-Up Preparation
SECTION X - Start-Up Preparation
Requirements below must be met for
warranty coverage of Prestige heat
exchangers. A thorough cleaning of any
existing system, using approved heating
system cleaning agents is required prior
to installation of the Prestige boiler.
System should be treated with an
approved inhibitor after filling for long
term protection.
Check Boiler System Fluid Chemistry
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or
sealing compounds in the boiler system.
Damage to seals and gaskets in the sys-
tem components could occur, resulting in
substantial property damage.
System fluid including additives must be
practically non-toxic, having a toxicity
rating or Class of 1, as listed in Clinical
Toxicology of Commercial Products.
Boiler Fluid pH Level 6.0 to 8.0
Maintain the boiler fluid pH between 6.0 and
8.0. Check using litmus paper or contact a water
treatment company for a chemical analysis.
If the pH does not meet this requirement, do
not operate the PRESTIGE Solo or leave the
unit filled until the condition is corrected.
Boiler Fluid Hardness Less Than 7 Grains
For areas with unusually hard water (hardness
above 7 grains) consult a water treatment
company.
Chlorinated Water
Do not use the PRESTIGE Solo to heat a
swimming pool or spa directly.
Maintain the chlorine level of the water at lev-
els considered safe for drinking.
Flush Boiler to Remove Sediment
The installer must flush the boiler system to
remove any sediment to allow proper operation
of the PRESTIGE Solo .
Flush the systems until the water runs clean
and is free of sediment.
For zoned systems, each zone should be
flushed through a purge valve. Purge valves
and isolation valves should be installed on each
zone to allow proper flushing of the system.
Cleaning of Old Boiler/System:
• Drain the existing system.
• Fill system with fresh water and cleaner,
place existing boiler in operation and run
all zones.
• Follow manufacturer’s instructions for
proper cleaner concentration and proper
cleaning time.
• Thoroughly drain and flush system with
fresh water after cleaning.
• Install new boiler, fill system with fresh
water and proper amount of inhibitor.
• Verify pH and inhibitor level per inhibitor
manufacturer’s specs; add inhibitor if
necessary.
Cleaning of New Boiler/System:
• Install new boiler and flush system with
cleaner water to remove any debris.
• Fill system with fresh water and proper
amount of inhibitor.
• Verify pH and inhibitor level per inhibitor
manufacturer’s specs; add inhibitor if
necessary.
