3.7.5 Water Quality
The boiler is designed to operate in a closed-loop system using water or water/glycol only. As such, the system
should be tight and not require make-up water. A high percentage of untreated make-up water can cause
premature failure due to build up of scale. Such failure is not covered by warranty.
Scale can also reduce efficiency. For example, a scale thickness of 1/16 inch will result in a 12.5% loss of
efficiency.
The water quality should be within the guidelines established by the American Boiler Manufacturers Association,
as follows:
•
Total solids:
2,500 ppm
•
Total alkalinity:
500 ppm
•
Total hardness:
150 ppm
In addition, the amount of oils, fats, grease, and other organic matter should be limited to 10 ppm.
Consult your water conditioning or chemical treatment supplier for analysis and recommendations. Employing a
conscientious and competently administered program with emphasis on good maintenance practices as outlined
by your water treatment specialist is recommended.
If water/glycol is to be used in the system, the customer should perform a hazard analysis to determine proper use
and disposal.
