Start-up
Check/control water chemistry
Do not use petroleum-based cleaning or 
sealing compounds in the boiler system.  
Damage to elastomer seals and gaskets 
in the system could occur, resulting in 
substantial property damage.
Hardness less than 7 grains
1.  Consult local water treatment companies for hard water 
areas (above 7 grains hardness).
Chlorine concentration less than 200 ppm
1.  Do not fill boiler or operate with water containing 
chlorine in excess of 200 ppm.
2.  Filling with chlorinated fresh water should be acceptable 
since drinking water chlorine levels are much lower.
3.  Do not use the boiler to directly heat swimming pool or 
spa water.
Test/replace freeze protection fluid
1.  For systems using freeze protection fluids, follow fluid 
manufacturer’s instructions.
2.  Freeze protection fluid must be replaced periodically due 
to degradation of inhibitors over time.  Follow all fluid 
manufacturer’s instructions.
Freeze protection (when used)
1.  Determine freeze protection fluid quantity using 
system water content, following fluid manufacturer’s 
instructions.  Boiler water content is listed on page 6.  
Remember to include expansion tank water content.
2.  Local codes may require a backflow preventer or actual 
disconnect from city water supply.
3.  When using freeze protection fluid with automatic fill, 
install a water meter to monitor water makeup.  Freeze 
protection fluid may leak before the water begins to 
leak, causing concentration to drop, reducing the freeze 
protection level.
Fill and test water system
1.  Fill system only after ensuring the water meets the 
requirements of this manual.
2.  Close manual and automatic air vents and boiler drain 
valve.
3.  Fill to correct system pressure.  Correct pressure will vary 
with each application.
 
a.  The minimum cold water fill pressure for a 
  
commercial system is 12 psi (82.7 kPa).
 
b.  Pressure will rise when boiler is turned on and 
  
system water temperature increases.  
Eliminate all system leaks. Continual 
fresh makeup water will reduce boiler 
life. Minerals can build up in the heat 
exchanger, reducing heat transfer, 
overheating the heat exchanger, and 
causing heat exchanger failure.
Purge air from water system
1.  Purge air from system:
2.  Open automatic air vent (diaphragm-type or bladder-
type expansion tank systems only) one turn.
3. Open 
other 
vents:
 
a.  Starting on the lowest floor, open air vents one at a 
  
time until water squirts out.
 
b.  Repeat with remaining vents.
4. Refill 
to 
correct 
pressure.
4.  At initial fill and during boiler startup and testing, check 
system thoroughly for any leaks.  Repair all leaks before 
proceeding further.
