Before introducing the solution into the boiler, an overflow pipe should be attached to the top of
the boiler and routed to a safe point of discharge.
Remove all safety valves to ensure that none of the solution will come into contact with the valve
seats. Use care in removing and reinstalling valves.
All valves in the piping to and from the system must be closed to prevent the chemical solution
from getting into the system.
Gauge glasses must be protected from contact with the boil out chemicals.
Fill the boiler with clean softened water until the water level reaches the upper header. Then add
the cleaning solution into the upper header. Add more clean water until the boiler is completely
filled. The water used for this initial fill should be at room temperature, and must be softened as
noted.
After filling, turn the boiler on (at a low input) at a frequency as necessary to hold the boiler
solution at boiling point temperature. DO NOT PRODUCE STEAM PRESSURE. Boil the water,
supervised at all times, for at least five hours.
After the five hour boil out, begin to add a small amount of fresh softened water so as to create a
slight overflow of the overflow pipe. This will carry out impurities which have accumulated at the
water surface. Continue to apply heat and overflow until the water emitted from the overflow pipe
clears. Then shut-off the boiler.
Let the boiler cool to 120°F or less. Drain the boiler. Use caution that the water is discharged with
safety.
Remove the inspection/cleanout openings in the boiler and wash the waterside surfaces
thoroughly using a high pressure water stream.
Inspect the boiler’s internal (waterside) surfaces thoroughly after the procedure. If the surfaces are
not clean, repeat the boil out.
After boil out, close all openings. Install relief valves, gauge glasses and other components as
necessary. Completely fill the boiler with fresh, softened, ambient temperature water. Operate the
boiler until water temperature of at least 180°F is reached.
The boiler is now ready to operate.
IMPORTANT
IF BOILER IS NOT TO BE OPERATED WITHIN 24 HOURS, A LAY-UP PROCEDURE IS
REQUIRED. REFER TO INSTRUCTION FOR LAY-UP.
