11. Install a shut off valve and strainer in a place that is easy to operate and makes
maintenance work easy.
12. Apply insulation to the indoor unit pipework, strainer, shut off valve, and pressure
reducing valve.
13. Please do not use a corrosion inhibitor in the water system.
To preserve water quality, use the closed type of water circuit. When the circulating
water quality is poor, the water heat exchanger can develop scales, leading to a
reduction in heat-exchange power and possible corrosion. Pay careful attention to
water processing and water quality control when installing the water circulation system.
During installation, make sure that foreign objects, such as welding fragments,
sealant particles, or rust, do not enter the pipes.
1 Depending on the quality of the cold-temperature water used in the airconditioner,
the copper piping of the heat exchanger may corrode.
Regular water quality processing is recommended.
If a water supply tank is installed, keep air contact to a minimum, and keep the

3 Consult with a specialist about water quality control methods and calculations
before using anti-corrosive solutions.
4 When replacing a previously installed air conditioning device (even when only
check for possible corrosion.
Corrosion can occur in cold-water systems even if there has been no prior signs
of corrosion.
If the water quality level has dropped, adjust water quality before replacing the
unit.
