at a location external to the appliance.
Chemicals that are corrosive in nature should not be stored or used near the
boiler or vent termination.
Unsuitable heating system water can cause the formation of scale or sludge, which affects
system efficiency. It can also cause corrosion and reduce life of the heat exchanger.
– You must follow Rinnai guidelines for boiler water quality.
– Thoroughly flush the system prior to filling.
– Follow the Rinnai cleaning instructions.
– Never use water that has been treated by a reverse osmosis, deionized, or distilled
water to soften the water to fill the heating system.
– Do not use inhibitors or other additives unless approved by Rinnai for that purpose.
– When freeze protection of the heating system is desired, only use Rinnai-approved
antifreezes. The allowed maximum concentration is 50%.
– When using oxygen-permeable pipes, e. g. for under floor heating systems, you
must separate the system from the boiler using plate heat exchangers.
– Valve off boiler while flushing system, do not introduce any system cleaner into the
boiler loop. Flush system thoroughly to remove all system cleaner before filling boiler.
• Noble Noburst AL
• Rhomar Hydro-Solv 9100
The system cleaners from NoBurst, Rhomar, and Fernox are not to be used in
the boiler. The boiler must be closed off (valved off) from the rest of the system
or not connected while the cleaners are in the system. The system should then
be drained and then thoroughly flushed with clean water to remove all the
system cleaner.
• Noble Noburst AL inhibitor
See Chapter 6 and 9 of this manual for additional information.
If problems occur when using potable water with a chloride content
higher than 150 mg/l, no recourse can be made to the terms of the limited
warranty.
For the installation and maintenance of the boiler you will need:
– Standard tools for space heating, gas and water fitting
– Digital manometer, capable of reading both positive and negative pressure
– Combustion analyzer (intended for use with condensing boilers)
– Digital multimeter capable of reading micro-amps
– pH digital meter or test strips
– Metric Allen wrenches
– Metric socket wrenches
In addition, a handtruck with a fastening belt is useful.
For maintenance of the boiler you will need, apart from standard tools for space
heating, gas and water fittings the following items:
- Boiler toolkit
• Sentinel X500
• Fernox Alphi 11
• Fernox F3 Cleaner
• Sentinel X400
• Sentinel X100
