TURBOMAX Use and Care Manual with Installation Instructions July 2014 Page

When the temperature of the boiler water in the 
heater is below the setting on the tank control 
(aquastat), the boiler and circulator should start.  
If a zone valve is used for this zone, it should 
open at this time. 
 
When the temperature of the boiler water in the 
heater tank reaches the temperature setting on 
the tank control, the boiler and circulator should 
turn off (and the zone valve, if used, should 
close).  If other zones for heating are creating 
demand, this would also cause the boiler and 
circulator(s) to run.  Cycling of the boiler on high 
limit is not abnormal, particularly if only one zone 
is creating demand.   
 
On initial start-up with a cold tank, a 
considerable amount of time may be required for 
the tank to reach desired temperature.  Check 
the temperature at a hot water faucet soon after 
the burner has completed the first heating cycle.  
Adjust TURBOMAX

®

  aquastat as needed.   

 
Note that setting to a lower setting will not have 
an immediate effect.  The stored boiler water will 
first have to be used.  Additional checks of the 
water temperature should follow completion of a 
cycle.  Further adjustments may be necessary 
as you use your water heater and space heating 
system. 
 
The TURBOMAX

®

 aquastat is adjusted to 180F 

with a 10F diff. when shipped from the factory.  
To meet commercial water use needs, it is 
adjustable up to 195°F.  However, water 
temperature over 125°F can cause severe burns 
instantly or death from scalds.  This is the 
reason why we recommend the installation of an 
automatic mixing valve on the distribution 
system.

OPERATING THE WATER HEATER WITH 
A THERMOSTATIC MIXING VALVE 
 

A thermostatic mixing valve provides for 
automatic operation through the use of a 
thermostatic element inside the valve.  The 
element will control the mixing of the hot and 
cold water supply streams to provide a safe 
blend to connected fixtures.  This provides 
constant water temperature under different 
working conditions. 
 
When using models which are certified ASSE 
1017-1998 and, in addition, have successfully 
passed the cold water supply failure test (ASSE 
1016-1996), loss of either hot or cold water to 
the thermostatic mixing valve will result in a 
reduction in flow from the valve to less than .5 
GPM within seconds of the loss.  Pressure 
difference between Hot and Cold ports should 
not exceed 10 psi.  Valves require a minimum 
difference of 20°F between the Hot and Mixed 
temperature for proper operation. 
 
To set the thermostatic mixing valve carefully 
open a hot water tap.  Protect yourself against 
the risk of scalding.  Use a thermometer and 
measure hot water temperature form the faucet.  
Reduce or increase the hot water temperature 
by adjusting the valve knob to the proper 
position.  Lock the knob at the set temperature.  
Refer to the valve manufacturer’s manual to get 
the proper guidelines. 
 
By mixing domestic cold water to the hot water 
supplied by the heater, the thermostatic mixing 
valve allows the boiler to work at higher 
temperature range.  Thus boiler water stored 
inside the TURBOMAX

®  

tank acts as a buffer 

which increases boiler efficiency and the amount 
of domestic hot water produced by the heater. 
 
To increase hot water production and storage 
capacity set the heater aquastat at a higher 
temperature (from 140°F to 180°F).  And 
secondly set the thermostatic mixing valve at the 
desired temperature (from 90°F to 120°F).   
 
For sanitation purposes use a different 
temperature range or install a dedicated hot 
water line to the equipment.
