Maintenance Tips
-
Maintain balanced water chemistry: Keep pH and alkalinity in range—acidic water is the #1 cause of corrosion and premature tube failure in copper-nickel exchangers.
-
Prevent scale buildup: Regularly inspect and flush the tube bundle to avoid mineral deposits that reduce heat transfer efficiency.
-
Ensure proper water flow: Clean filters and verify pump performance—restricted flow can overheat and damage the tube bundle.
-
Inspect O-rings & gaskets: Replace worn seals (included with the bundle) to prevent leaks and maintain system pressure.
-
Check for debris & fouling: Remove dirt, leaves, or biofilm that can clog internal passages and reduce efficiency.
-
Avoid chemical overfeeding: High chlorine or chemical spikes accelerate metal degradation—even with cupronickel construction.
-
Use correct compatibility: Confirm fit with PR265A, PR266, PR267A models with polymer headers only to avoid installation issues.
-
Schedule annual professional inspection: Especially important for detecting early leaks or internal wear in the heat exchanger assembly.
