CHEMICAL REQUIREMENTS4.

This cleaning 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. However, to obtain

optimum results with this unit, we recommend using

the PROCHEM line of chemicals. For information on

using the cleaning compounds, refer to the

PROCHEM chemical manual.

WATER REQUIREMENTS

Hard water deposits will adversely affect the

plumbing and heat exchange systems on this unit.

The map below 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, PROCHEM has a

model to meet your needs. Please contact your

nearest distributor for information, price, and

availability.
