Many installers simply fill their newly installed hydronic systems with water that’s available on site. Sometimes they’re “lucky” to have water with relatively low dissolved solids, stable pH and low turbidity. Other times they may not be so lucky. Although problems may not appear right away, the life of their new system could be significantly shortened by a combination of minerals in the water, solder flux residue, cutting oils in piping and glycol-based antifreeze solutions.
John Siegenthaler, P.E., a seasoned hydronics leader and visionary, joins us at this month's webinar to provide an overview of the issues and will explain how to use demineralized water in combination with proper system commissioning to minimize water quality issues in hydronic systems. You will learn:
- What are the consequences of poor water quality?
- What is demineralized water?
- Why demineralization is better than softening
- How to demineralize water using Hydrofill
- Procedures for commissioning water in new systems
