Boiler maintenance procedure

VERIFY PROPER OPERATION AFTER SERVICING 

(see Ultra Boiler Manual for procedures)

 

  Removing and reinstalling components can change boiler behavior. After any maintenance procedure, you must 

prove the boiler is operating correctly. To do so, follow the complete procedure for boiler and system start-up, 
beginning on page 31 of the Ultra Boiler manual. Failure to comply could result in severe personal injury, death 
or substantial property damage.

OBTAIN REQUIRED MAINTENANCE KIT 
BEFORE PROCEEDING!

  Removing heat exchanger and burner components 

may damage gaskets or components. You must 
have the following Weil-McLain Maintenance 
kit available to correctly perform the required 
maintenance procedures. Failure to complete 
could result in severe personal injury, death or 
substantial property damage.

DISCONNECT POWER BEFORE 
PROCEEDING

 

%LECTRICAL SHOCK HAZARD

 — Disconnect all 

electrical power to the boiler before attempting 
maintenance procedures. Failure to complete 
could result in severe personal injury, death or 
substantial property damage.

Re-install jacket front door

  Re-install boiler jacket front door after servicing. 

The boiler front door must be securely fastened 
to the boiler to prevent boiler from drawing air 
from inside the boiler room. This is particularly 
important if the boiler is located in the same 
room as other appliances. Failure to keep the door 
securely fastened could result in severe personal 
injury or death.

Clean and treat boiler water

Obtain Sentinel X100 inhibitor and Sentinel inhibitor test kit 
from Weil-McLain.

After filling the system as directed in these instructions, use a 
caulking gun to inject the X100 inhibitor into the system, fol-
lowing the instructions on the tube. Allow time for the water to 
circulate and mix. Then check the inhibitor level. Add additional 
inhibitor if necessary.

Test the pH of a sample of system water at least annually. The 
pH of the water mixture must be between 7.0 and 8.5. (Or use 
the Sentinel inhibitor test kit to check concentration.) If pH is 
outside this range (or inhibitor test kit indicates low level), the 
inhibitor level may not be sufficient to prevent corrosion. Add 
X100 inhibitor if the need is indicated.

If antifreeze is used, use only antifreeze listed by Weil-McLain 
as suitable for use with Ultra Gas Boilers. Follow all guidelines  
provided.  A list of approved antifreeze products is available at 
www.Weil-McLain.com.
