SYSTEM MAINTENANCE

An important part of outdoor furnace maintenance is controlling the quality of
the water in the outdoor furnace.

Water Test Kits and Test Results

DATE
Record the results of pH and Moly level tests in the table above.
If additional space is needed, record on a separate sheet of paper.
It is very important to keep record of water test results (including the date, pH
and Moly level). The pH and Moly test strips and indicator have a shelf life
of approximately two years that can affect their accuracy. Test kits should be
stored in a dry area at room temperature to obtain maximum accuracy over a
longer period of time.
Biological contamination can occur if the furnace is not heated up to 185˚F
immediately after filling it with inhibitor and water as directed.
NOTE: ANY time water is added to the system, it is extremely important to bring the water
temperature up to operating temperature (185˚F) as soon as possible, even if it is during
the off-season. Failure to bring the water in the system up to operating temperature
immediately after filling the system can allow bacteria present in the water to multiply
and may increase the potential for corrosion in the sytem.
If the test indicates a significantly lower-than-recommended pH level (below
8.0), add MolyArmor to increase the pH level.
POST HEATING SEASON MAINTENANCE
The water should be left in the outdoor furnace if the outdoor furnace is not
being used for an extended period of time.
1. Refer to the Preventive Maintenance Schedule for a list of operations to
perform.
2. Shut off the power supply to the outdoor furnace.
3. Place a cover over the chimney to keep rain from entering the outdoor
furnace. Clean and oil the chimney flue to the firebox.
