CAUTION: RULES FOR SAFE OPERATION
If you are using the AquaStar for combined space heating and potable water heating (
see
schematic diagram below),
all piping and other components connected to the system
must be suitable for potable water, (b) toxic chemicals such as those commonly used for
boiler treatment to prevent corrosion and freezing must not be introduced into the system,
and (c) if the space heating requires water temperatures higher than those required for
domestic, potable water, a mixing valve or other similar device must be provided to reduce
scald hazard potential. DO NOT CONVERT AN EXISTING, CLOSED HOT WATER HEATING
SYSTEM TO A COMBINATION SPACE AND POTABLE WATER HEATING SYSTEM USING
THE AQUASTAR OR ANY OTHER HEAT SOURCE.
