APPLICATIONS
Space Heating Applications

WARNING

Toxic chemicals used in boiler treat-
ments such as alcohol, glycerol and
glycol group must not be introduced
into the system when used for open
loop potable water and space heat-
ing.
The 710 can be used to supply pota-
ble water and space heating and shall
not be connected to any heating sys-
tem or component(s) previously used
with non-potable water where any
chemicals were added to the water
heating appliances.
When the system requires water for
space heating at temperatures high-
er than required for other uses, a
means such as a mixing valve shall
be installed to temper the water for
those other uses in order to reduce
scald hazard potential.
Water temperature over 52°C (125 °F)
can cause severe burns instantly or
death from scalds.
Chemicals such as diluted Glycol can
be used for radiant floor, Hydro/fan
coil air or Baseboard heating only.
The diluted solution of glycol must
contain between 25% and 55% of
Glycol. Be aware that in closed-loop
glycol systems, low pressure in the
heat exchanger can cause low-tem-
perature boiling, resulting in exces-
sive noise and damage to the water
heater. Consult with the glycol maker
for specifications prior to use.

Re-circulation

The recirculation pump is to be controlled by:
• Dual-set aquastat (recommended w/timer)

OR

• 710 Pump Control set to “Recirculation Mode”
The recirculation pump is to provide no less than 7.5 l/min
(2 GPM (US)) and no more than 15 l/min (4 GPM (US))
through each activated unit in the system.

This is a concept

The circulation pump is to provide no less than 7.5 l/min
(2 GPM (US)) and no more than 15 l/min (4 GPM (US))
through each activated unit in the system.

Priority Control Devices such as a flow switch, an Aquastat
or other electronic controller can be used to prioritize the
domestic water system over the heating system.
Warning: Follow all local codes, or in the absence of
local codes, follow the most recent edition of the National
Plumbing Code.
Warning: This illustration is a concept design only. There
are a wide variety of variations to the application of controls
and equipment presented. Designers must add all neces-
sary safety and auxiliary equipment to conform to code
requirements and design practice. For more details, contact
the manufacturer.
