Test the Treated System Water

After circulating the water in the system for at least 24 hours, test the treated
system water for the recommended moly (at least 350 ppm) and pH level
(between 8.0 and 9.5).
The water in the sight gauge may be hot. Use caution when obtaining a sample.
1. To obtain a system water sample, bend the sight gauge tube away from the
outdoor furnace. Before collecting the sample, open the valve and drain
about a quart of water from the sight gauge tube; then carefully fill the
sample container without contaminating the sample. Be sure to properly
install the sight gauge tube and close the valve when finished. The
water in the sight gauge valve and tube will drain when the valve is closed.
2. Dip a test strip from the test kit in the water sample for 1 second and
remove. Shake off excess liquid (very important to prevent water bleed
from one pad to the other). Compare moly test pad to the color chart
within 10 seconds. The moly level must be 350 ppm or more.
3. Compare pH test pad to the color chart at 30 seconds. The pH of the
treated water should be between 8.0 and 9.5.
Maintenance Levels
Test the pH and moly levels after the first three months and every six months
thereafter, and after adding water to furnace.
NOTE: If using antifreeze, test the pH and Moly levels once each month. If the bacterial
issues occur, the pH will decrease.
NOTE: It should not be necessary to add water to the outdoor furnace more frequently
than once every twelve months. If it is more frequent, either there is a leak in the system
or the outdoor furnace is boiling because of improper operation or maintenance (see
Troubleshooting Section in the Owner's Manual). Be sure to locate and repair the problem
immediately. Frequently adding water can cause deterioration in the water jacket. Each
time water is added, refer to the instructions provided in the test kit for water testing
procedures. If indicated by test results, add MolyArmor 350 as required. Deterioration due
to improper operation and/or maintenance is not covered by warranty.
