CHAPTER 10 - START-UP PREPARATION
10.1.7 Check and Test Antifreeze
For boiler systems containing antifreeze solutions,
follow the antifreeze manufacturer’s instructions in
verifying the inhibitor level and to ensure the uid
characteristics are within specication requirements.
Due to the degradation of inhibitors over time, antifreeze
uids must be periodically replaced. Refer to the
manufacturer of the antifreeze for additional instructions.
10.1.8 Use of Antifreeze in the Boiler System
NEVER use automotive or ethylene glycol
antifreeze or undiluted antifreeze in the system
as freeze protection. This can result in substantial
property damage, serious injury, or death.
Determine the antifreeze uid quantity using the sys-
tem water volume and following the antifreeze manu-
facturer instructions.
The water volume of the EXALT is approximately:
- 2 gallons [8 L] for EXALT Solo 110
- 3 gallons [12 L] for EXALT Solo/Combi 155
- 4 gallons [15 L] for EXALT Solo/Combi 199.
Remember to include the volume of the expansion tank.
Check with local code requirements for the installation
of backow preventers or actual disconnection of the
boiler’s cold water ll or make up water supply line.
Massachusetts Code requires the installation of a
backflow preventer if antifreeze is used.
Ensure the concentration of antifreeze to water does
not exceed a 50/50 ratio.
System fluid including additives, must be practically
non-toxic, having a toxicity rating or Class of 1, as
listed in Clinical Toxicology of Commercial Products.
WARNING
NOTICE
NOTICE
HOT WATER CAN SCALD!
• Water temperatures over 125ºF can cause
severe burns instantly, or death from scalds.
• Feel water before bathing or showering.
• Consumer Product Safety Commission
and some states recommend
temperatures settings of 130ºF or less.
Setting thermostat higher than 130ºF
will increase risk of scald injury and cause
severe personal injury or death.
• Water heated to a temperature suitable
for clothes washing, dish washing and
other sanitizing needs will scald and
cause permanent injury.
• Children and elderly, infirm, or physically
handicapped persons are more likely
to be injured by hot water. Never leave
them unattended in or near a bathtub. If
anyone using hot water in the building
fits this description, or if state laws
or local codes require certain water
temperatures at hot water faucets, take
special precautions.
Ū Install the factory supplied automatic
mixing valve at water heater and/
or install a point of use mixing
valve at each hot water faucet, bath
and shower outlet. Selection and
installation of point of use mixing
valves must comply with valve
manufacturer’s recommendation
and instructions.
Ū Use the lowest practical temperature
setting.
Ū Check water temperature after any
adjustment of the mixing valve.
• Failure to comply with these instructions
will result in serious injury, or death.
