  • Page 12: Water Quality

    RL SERIES INSTALLATION MANUAL Water Quality Water Quality Guidelines In ground water situations where scaling could be heavy or where biological growth such as iron bacteria will be present, a closed loop system is recommended. The heat exchanger coils in ground water systems may, over a period of time, lose heat exchange capabilities due to a buildup of mineral deposits inside.
