    SPECTRA COMMERCIAL AND RESIDENTIAL INSTALLATION GUIDE Never use flexible hoses smaller than 1" inside diameter on the unit and limit hose length to 10 ft. per connection. Check carefully for water leaks. Water Quality The unit may be ordered with either a copper or a cupronickel coaxial heat exchanger. Copper is adequate for closed loop and open loop ground water systems which are not high in mineral content.

    Once piping is completed between the unit, flow center and the ground loop (Figure 7 Source Closed on page 8), final purging and charging of the loop is needed. A WaterFurnace flush cart (at Loop Systems least a 1.5 hp pump) is needed to achieve adequate flow velocity in the loop to purge air and dirt particles from the loop itself.
