Water Quality Requirements
The quality of water that is supplied to your
Jetstream pump can have a direct impact
on performance. Items like dissolved solids
and pH values out of the allowable range can,
either by themselves, or together with other
properties of the water, lead to premature fail-
ure (such as cracking) of pump components
and related accessories.
Suspended gasses (tiny bubbles) in the water
can also lead to premature component failure.
These gases can sometimes be detected visu-
ally by inspecting the water in the inlet tank
for tiny bubbles or a milky appearance.
As part of the installation and or operat-
ing procedures of this pump, an expert that
specializes in water quality must perform a
water quality test. If your water is found to
exceed any of the allowable measurements in
the chart below, consult a specialist in water
purication and conditioning.
Recommended water quality levels:
Substance Maximum Allowed (mg/L)
Silica 1.0
Calcium 0.5
Magnesium 0.5
Iron 0.1
Manganese 0.1
Chloride 5.0
Sulfate 25.0
Nitrate 25.0
Carbon Dioxide 0
Total Dissolved Solids 50.0
pH 6.8 – 7.5
Specic Conductivity 50 micro-mhos/cm
Note: Boiler water additives with either
ammonia or amines are not
allowed.
Note: If water that has been treated by
either reverse osmosis or deion-
ization is to be used in your pump,
it is important that it does not
have a total dissolved solids (TDS)
reading of less than 0.5 ppm.
Water with a TDS reading of 0.5
ppm or less has been known to
attack carbide components such
as plungers and back-up rings.
