ECO-Y INSTALLATION MANUAL
In ground water situations where scaling could be heavy or where
biological growth such as iron bacteria will be present, a closed
loop system is recommended. The heat exchanger coils in ground
water systems may, over a period of time, lose heat exchange
capabilities due to a buildup of mineral deposits inside. These
can be cleaned, but only by a qualified service mechanic, as
special solutions and pumping equipment are required. Hot water
generator coils can likewise become scaled and possibly plugged.

In areas with extremely hard water, the owner should be informed
that the heat exchanger may require occasional flushing.
Units with cupronickel heat exchangers are recommended for
open loop applications due to the increased resistance to build-up
and corrosion, along with reduced wear caused by acid cleaning.
Set SW1-2 on the printed circuit board for applications using a
closed loop antifreeze solution to “LOOP” (15°F) [-9.4°C]. On
applications using an open loop/ground water system (or closed
loop no antifreeze), set this dip switch to “WELL” (30°F) [-1.1°C],
the factory default setting. (Refer to the Dip Switch Field Selection
table).
