8-25 GPM
PROCEDURE TO BALANCE SYSTEM:
1. MAKE SURE NO WATER IS BEING DRAWN. OPEN VALVE #1 AND VALVE #2 APPROXIMATELY ½ WAY AND START
CIRCULATOR.
2. OBSERVE TEMPERATURE UNTIL IT STABILIZERS.
3. CLOSE VALVE #1 SLIGHTLY IF TEMPERATURE IS TOO HOT, OR OPEN IT SLIGHTLY IF TEMPERATURE IS TOO COLD AND
ALLOW TEMPERATURE TO STABILIZE. REPEAT UNTIL DESIRED TEMPERATURE IS SET.
4. IF UNABLE TO REACH DESIRED TEMPERATURE OPEN VALVE #2 FULL, REPEAT STEPS 2 AND 3.
