Filling The System; Testing The Water System - Navien NHB-055 Installation & Operation Manual

Maintenance
Periodically monitor the level of media in the neutralizer and test
the pH level at the outlet. We recommend an annual pH test using
recognized test strips or an electronic pH meter to obtain precise
measurements. Replace the neutralizing media when the pH drops
below the minimum level required by the local water authority. If
the pH level is not specified, replace the neutralizing media when
the pH is below 6.0. For replacement media, contact your local
Navien distributor.

3.3 Filling the System
