water.
• It is also necessary to analyse the quality of water by checking pH, electrical conductivity, ammonia ion con-
tent, sulphur content, and others. Should the results of the analysis be not good, the use of industrial water
would be recommended for the heating coil circuit.
• Itismandatorytodonotaddanykindofantifreezeproducttothewatercircuit.
• To avoid deposits of scale on the heating coil surface it is mandatory to ensure a high water quality with low
levels of CaCO
