Water supply quality
Chloride
In high chloride water supply areas, the water can corrode some parts and cause them to fail. Where the chloride level exceeds 200 mg/litre, warranty does not apply to the heat pump unit and tank unit.
pH
pH is a measure of whether the water is alkaline or acid.
In an acidic water supply, the water can attack the parts and cause them to fail. No warranty applies to the heat pump unit and tank unit where the pH is less than 6.5 or more than 8.5.
The water supply from a rainwater tank unit in a metropolitan area is likely to be corrosive due to the dissolution of atmospheric contaminants.
Water with a pH less than 6.5 may be treated to raise the pH. It is recommended that an analysis of the water from a rainwater tank be conducted before connecting this type of water supply to the system.
