CX 199 (model #ICGFSW1-0199)
Water quality
Warning
Water quality has a significant impact on the lifetime and performance of a boiler's heat
exchanger.
Improperly prepared water in a heating circuit may cause damage to the heat exchanger
through fouling or corrosion. Repeated or uncontrolled water fills will increase the potential
for damage.
High levels of dissolved solids or minerals may precipitate out of the fluid onto the hottest part
of the heat exchanger, impairing heat transfer and resulting in overheating and premature
failure. The amount of solids that may form on the heat exchanger will depend on the degree
of hardness and the total water volume in the system. A high water volume system with a low
hardness count may cause as much damage as a system with less volume and higher
hardness, so it is recommended to treat water so as to reduce dissolved solids to the
minimum 10 ppm, and to no more than 30 ppm. Water chemistry allowable limits are as
follows:
TDS 0.6 to 1.75 grains/ gal (10 to 30 ppm)
Acidity pH is to be between 6.6 and 8.5
Chloride is to be less than 125 mg/l
Iron is to be less than 0.3 mg/l
Cu less than 0.1 mg/l
Conductivity is to be less than 400μS/cm at 77°F (25°C)
Important: Ensure that these limits are acceptable for the other water-side components in
the system.

Safety information
Danger
Should overheating occur or the gas supply fails to shut off, do not turn off or disconnect
the electrical supply to the pump. Instead shut off the gas supply at a location external
to the appliance.
Danger
Do not store or use gasoline or other flammable vapors or liquids in the vicinity of this or
any other appliance. If you smell gas vapors, do not try to operate any appliance - do
not touch any electrical switch or use any phone in the building. Immediately, call the
gas supplier from a phone located remotely. Follow the gas supplier’s instructions, or if
the supplier is unavailable, contact the fire department.
Warning
If the boiler is likely to be exposed to fluid temperatures below 34°F (1°C), use a method
to prevent freezing of condensate. Contact the factory for further information.
Warning
Do not use this boiler if any part has been under water. Immediately call a qualified
service technician to inspect the boiler and to replace any part of the control system and
any gas control that has been under water.
