WATER QUALITY

Water supply quality may adversely affect the efficiency performance and longevity of Water Heaters and Hot Water systems. Hard water may
cause the formation of lime scale which will reduce operating efficiency and may cause early product failure. Please note the following:-

Maximum allowed water hardness is 205 PPM or 205 mg/L CaCO3 (= 11.5°dH)

TDS (total dissolved solids) may not exceed 350 PPM

Water hardness and TDS together may not exceed 350 PPM

The pH value of the water may not be under 6.5 and not above 7.5 (measured cold)

If TDS alone or the combined value is higher than the abovementioned, the water should be heated by means of an indirect water
heating appliance.

Minimum water hardness = 80 PPM or 80 mg/L CaCO3 (= 4.5°dH)

Minimum TDS = 100 PPM

Water that's under these minimum values normally has a pH value which is aggressive and corrosive.
If these values are exceeded a water treatment specialist should be consulted. Water Softeners and Water Conditioners may be considered,
but whichever method is selected, it should be suitable for installation with Direct Gas-fired Water Heaters. A maintenance regime will also be
required for such systems
The formation of lime scale or other solids can cause a blockage within the heat exchanger, which in turn may cause
premature failure. Such instances are not regarded as defects in manufacture and will not be covered under the
product warranty
