Water Quality Requirements
Impurities in the water can influence the performance and life expectancy of the water cooled unit. The water should be tested and treated
using a local water treatment professional. The following levels should be maintained:

The “●” mark for corrosion and scale means that there is a possibility of occurrence.
• Inhibitors should be used in the water loop, especially if water temperature operates above 104°F.
• Air shall be purged from the system.

Pipe Insulation
Water pipe insulation is suggested in the following conditions:
• Where water pipe is subject to freezing.
• Water pipe where water can condense on surface of pipe from ambient room temperatures higher than temperature of water in the pipe. If
water temperature is maintained at 68°F in winter and 86°F in summer, insulation will not be required.
• On boiler water pipes to save energy losses from heat source.
• On condensate drain lines.
• Where required by local code.
