CHART 1 - CER-TEMP 80 RECOVERY SYSTEM CHECKOUT PROCEDURE
(Use this checkout for Cer-Temp 80 Recovery Systems)
CHECKOUT
The checkout sequence should be used as an on-the-job trouble-
shooting guide to identify the cause of incorrect system operation
and suggest a remedy for its correction.
Because improper piping and wiring can result in unsatisfactory
system performance, it is suggested that the installation be
examined before using the checkout procedure. Be sure to refer
to the correct piping - wiring diagram and checkout for the type of
system that is installed.
The system should be filled with water, purged of air, valves
properly set and utilities connected and ready to operate.
REMOVING SILICATE
Ammonium bifluoride flakes (NH
4
FlHF) are used in conjunction
with A. O. Smith UN•LIME delimer and pump type deliming kit,
part no. 4930, to delime and remove siliceous materials from
copper coil water heaters.
•
The part no. 4920 pump contained in the deliming kit is
equipped with a titanium shaft. This shaft will not withstand
ammonium bifluoride solutions and must be replaced with a
stainless steel shaft, part no. 4926.
Ammonium bifluoride flakes should be purchased locally from
chemical suppliers. Contact your dealer, distributor or
A. O. Smith Water Products Company for additional information.
