Water Chemistry Parameters

A proper water treatment program is an essential part of routine maintenance to ensure

the safe operation and longevity of this unit. A water treatment company familiar with
local water conditions should be consulted. Any water treatment system used in the unit
must be compatible with the unit’s materials of construction. Although high quality
galvanized steel is used in most units, To control corrosion and scale, the recirculation
water chemistry must be within certain ranges as shown in Table or within the limits
provided by your local water treatment specialist.
