Frequently Asked Questions

For optimal performance and warranty coverage, the water supply should have less than 60 PPM total dissolved solids, less than 20 PPM total alkalinity, less than 13 PPM silica, less than 1.5 PPM chlorine, and a pH factor between 6.8 and 7.3. Water not meeting these standards should be treated with a suitable water treatment system.
The boiler water level control must be flushed daily by rotating the blowdown valve counterclockwise about 1/4 turn to fully open it for approximately 15 seconds. This removes accumulated sediment and ensures proper float operation. Always observe the water level and boiler pressure during this process.
The CSD-1 controls provide enhanced safety features, including automatic shutdown and lockout conditions for high temperature, high pressure, and low water levels. These controls ensure the boiler operates within safe parameters and prevent potential damage or injury.
If the safety relief valve opens, it indicates that the boiler pressure has exceeded its limit. While the valve functions as a safety measure, it suggests a potential issue with the pressure switch requiring adjustment or replacement. Discontinue use immediately and contact a qualified service technician.
It is recommended that the boiler be checked every 90 to 120 days for scale build-up. Regular descaling is crucial for maintaining efficiency and extending the life of the heating elements.
