It is critical that the boiler water pH be alkaline (9.5 - 11.5) whenever water is in the boiler.
Daily boiler blowdown is essential to help prevent formation of deposits and reduce
Total Dissolved Solids (TDS).
Consult your Water Treatment specialist to establish the frequency and duration
of blowdown required to achieve the required water conditions.
Recommended Water Conditions
to ensure trouble free boiler operation.
The following are recommended for feedwater and boiler water.
