Step 2 Drain and flush thoroughly.
Step 3 Refill and add required amount of Treatment Solution 101™. System is ready for use.
Step 4 Test chemical level each month and add accordingly to always maintain a proper chemical level.
Step 5 Prior to the end of the heating season and draining add Lay -Up Solution 103™ per directions.
Step 6 Drain and flush thoroughly.
Step 7 Refill and add required amount of Treatment Solution 101™. Add required amount of Biological Solution

Existing Non-Pressurized "Open" Outdoor Wood Boiler
There is lots of “stuff” in your water, especially well water (municipalities treat water to
some varying degree in relation to our purposes, therefore problems are lessened with
"city" water supplies), all which pose problems for your system. Examples: calcium
(lime), iron, oxygen. That is why you treat the water. A "closed" system is no exception.
Without proper treatment of the water in your system you are allowing corrosion and
scale deposition to destroy the metals and destroy the efficiency and longevity of your
system. Scaling issues are decreased considerably but oxygen remains a threat to your
system. "Closed" systems are by no means air tight. Your outdoor wood boiler has basic
treatment requirements in regard to properly and effectively using water as a medium
for heat exchange as its larger industrial cousins. Same kinds of problems, same kind of
medicine. Regardless of the metals used to construct your particular brand boiler they
ALL need treatment EQUALLY.
Water treatment is an ongoing preventative maintenance process, NOT a one time
“dump a jug in and I’m done” process. You change the oil in your car periodically even
if the dipstick says full don’t you?! Water treatment maintenance is lessened for a
"closed" system compared to an "open".
