Water Quality

 

10

OM-XS

It is essential to supply the steam generator with water that will not form scale or cause 

corrosion. Even though the steam generator is engineered to minimize scale formation 

and the effects of corrosion, their development depends on the quality of your water and 

the number of hours per day you operate the equipment.

Most water supplies are full of minerals and chemicals which are not suitable for use in 

a steam generator.

Water quality varies from state to state and city to city. It is necessary that you know 

and understand the quality of the water you are using. Your water utility can tell you 

about the minerals and chemicals in your water. The water going to the steam generator 

should be within these guidelines.

WATER QUALITY REQUIREMENTS: 

Containment 

 

 

Water Supply

pH 

   

7 to 9

Total Dissolved Solids (TDS) 

30 to 60 ppm

Hardness 

 

 

less than 60 ppm

Chlorine and Chloramine   

less than .1 ppm

Chlorides 

 

 

less than 30 ppm

Silica     

less than 12 ppm

Undissolved Solids 

 

less than 5 microns

In order to accurately choose the correct water treatment solution, a water quality test 

has to be performed.  If a “Free Start-up” is requested, the ASA will perform a water 

quality test and Unified Brands (UB) will be able to suggest the best solution for your 

water quality.  If it isn’t, your local manufacturing representative can coordinate this for 

you.

 

After the “Free Start-up” is performed, UB will add an additional 1-year parts and labor 

warranty.  If UB suggests a water treatment system, the system is purchased from UB, 

installed and maintained, water related service issues will be covered for the duration of 

the warranty period.
