CHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS
The oil fired unit, due to its chemical injection pump
design, can be used with a variety of water-diluted
chemical compounds (either acidic or alkaline),
depending on the job to be done. For information on
using the cleaning compounds, contact your
distributor.
WATER REQUIREMENTS
Hard water deposits will adversely affect the
plumbing on this unit. The map on the following
page, will give you an idea of where areas of high
water hardness may occur. However, any water
supply obtained from a well is almost always hard
water and a water softener will be needed to protect
your equipment.
NOTE: Equipment malfunction or component
failure caused by hard water scaling is NOT
covered under the warranty.
If you are operating this unit in an area where the
unit will be using water in which the hardness
exceeds 3-1/2 grains, we highly recommend a
suitable water softener be installed. If using a water
softener, it must have a five (5) GPM (or greater)
flow capacity without any hose constrictions.
Using a water softener will reduce maintenance and
decrease down time caused by hard water scaling. It
will also allow cleaning chemicals to be more
effective in lower concentrations.
If you require a water softener, please contact your
nearest distributor for information, price, and
availability.
