WATER QUALITY STATEMENT:
The fact that a water supply is potable is no guarantee that it is
suitable for steam generation. Your water supply must be within these
general guidelines:
SUPPLY PRESSURE
20 - 60 psig
HARDNESS*
less than 3 grains
SILICA
less than 13 ppm
TOTAL CHLORIDE
less than 4.0 ppm
pH RANGE
7-8
UN-DISSOLVED SOLIDS
less than 5 microns
* 17.1 ppm = 1 grain of hardness
Other factors affecting steam generation are iron content, amount
of chloridation and dissolved gases. Water supplies vary from state
to state and from locations within a state. Therefore it is necessary
that the local water treatment specialist be consulted before the
installation of any steam generating equipment.
