1.5 Boiler System Water Requirements
Unsuitableheatingsystemwatercancausetheformationofscaleorsludge,whicha󰀨ects
systeme󰀩ciency.Itcanalsocausecorrosionandreducelifeoftheheatexchanger.
– You must follow Rinnai guidelines for boiler water quality.
– Thoroughlyushthesystempriortolling.
– Follow the Rinnai cleaning instructions.
– Never use water that has been treated by a reverse osmosis, deionized, or distilled
watertosoftenthewatertolltheheatingsystem.
– Do not use inhibitors or other additives unless approved by Rinnai for that purpose.
– When freeze protection of the heating system is desired, only use Rinnai-approved
antifreezes. The allowed maximum concentration is 50%.
– Whenusingoxygen-permeablepipes,e.g.forunderoorheatingsystems,you
must separate the system from the boiler using plate heat exchangers.
– Valveo󰀨boilerwhileushingsystem,donotintroduceanysystemcleanerintothe
boilerloop.Flushsystemthoroughlytoremoveallsystemcleanerbeforellingboiler.
Approved antifreeze: • Rhomar RhoGard Mutli-Metal (AL safe) • Sentinel X500
(max. concentration 50%) • Noble Noburst AL • Fernox Alphi 11
Approved system cleaner: • Noble Noburst Hydronic System Cleaner • Fernox F3 Cleaner
• Rhomar Hydro-Solv 9100 • Sentinel X400
The system cleaners from NoBurst, Rhomar, and Fernox are not to be used in
the boiler. The boiler must be closed o󰀨 (valved o󰀨) from the rest of the system
or not connected while the cleaners are in the system. The system should then
be drained and then thoroughly ushed with clean water to remove all the
system cleaner.
Approved inhibitors: • Rhomar Pro-tek 922 • Sentinel X100
• Noble Noburst AL inhibitor

If problems occur when using potable water with a chloride content
higher than 150 mg/l, no recourse can be made to the terms of the limited
warranty.

For the installation and maintenance of the boiler you will need:
– Standardtoolsforspaceheating,gasandwatertting
– Digital manometer, capable of reading both positive and negative pressure
– Combustion analyzer (intended for use with condensing boilers)
– Digital multimeter capable of reading micro-amps
– pH digital meter or test strips
– Metric Allen wrenches
– Metric socket wrenches
In addition, a handtruck with a fastening belt is useful.
