Hydronic Water Treatment Preventive Maintenance (PM)

Water Treatment System, Closed Loop

MAINTENANCE PROCEDURES:

ITEM 4- Quarterly:

1. Draw a sample from a point where water is circulating. Flush the line until the sample is clear.

2. Flush a clean sample bottle with the water from the closed loop system three times to remove any contamination from the bottle, and then collect the sample.

3. Use the Molybdenum Test Kit to test for the proper levels of Molybdenum in the closed loop system.

4. If Molybdenum is less than 20 ppm add GI#370 (or approved equal) to the shot feeder to increase the treatment level.

5. If Molybdenum is more than 60 ppm drain a small amount of closed loop water from the system to lower treatment level.

6. Test for the proper levels of chemicals in the closed loop system and adjust chemical feeds as necessary to maintain optimal conditions in the system as specified in Table A.

7. Record all test results in a logbook and provide the results to the COR in a typewritten and signed report.

8. Use the conductivity meter to test for total solids and plot in a logbook. If your Molybdenum levels drop your conductivity should drop also. This would indicate a loss of water from the Closed Loop System. If your Molybdenum levels stay constant without having to add treatment to the Closed Loop System, and your conductivity increases you may have air in the system causing iron oxide corrosion. If this is the case, you will see your iron levels increase also. You need to check your air vents for proper operation and remove any trapped air from the piping system and check for bacteria levels.

9. Check the total conductivity of the system with a conductivity meter. Record results in a logbook and typewritten report.

10. Check pH with the pH test strips and/or pH meter. Record results in a logbook and typewritten report.

11. Clean sample bottles and wipe down all chemical treatment equipment.

12. Provide new and change old corrosion coupons. Send used coupons to the laboratory for analysis. Quarterly Laboratory analysis for these coupons shall
