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.
•
Never use water that has been treated by a
reverse osmosis, deionized, or distilled
water to soften the water to fill the heating
system.

Air Handler Models
• CAH050E
• CAH050CE
• If the free area is not known, assume a 25%
free area for wood or a 75% free area for metal
louvers or grilles. Using the louver dimensions
and the 25% or 75% assumption, determine if
the louver open area meets the minimum open
area listed above.
• If the return air plenum is used, the return air
grille should be immediately in front of the
opening in the plenum to allow for the free flow
of return air.
• When not installed in front of the opening, there
must be adequate clearance around the air
handler to allow for the free flow of return air.
