CORROSION – WHO’S RESPONSIBLE?
CORROSION PROTECTION IS THE SOLE RESPONSIBILITY OF THE OWNER. THERE IS NO WARRANTY REGARDING CORROSION OR CORROSION INDUCED FAILURES OF ANY COMPONENT OF GARN® WHS OR WHS/ETS EQUIPMENT OR ANY COMPONENTS ATTACHED TO THE GARN® EQUIPMENT. GARN® equipment has always been fabricated from quality materials and using quality methods that inherently reduce corrosion potential. Once delivered, the manufacturer is not able to control the installation, the quality of the fill water, the chemicals added to reduce corrosion potential or the level or frequency of ongoing chemical testing and maintenance. It is strongly suggested that you (the owner/operator) become a proactive participant in the protection of your investment and fully use the water treatment program.
DO NOT ADD OXYGEN SCAVENGING CHEMICAL COMPOUNDS (such as, sodium sulfite, sulfite, meta sulfite, bisulfite). These materials are inappropriate for GARN® WHS
equipment and will result in corrosive conditions and early tank failure.
DO NOT ADD BLEACH OR ANY CHLORINE/BROMINE BASED PRODUCTS TO THE SYSTEM TO ACT AS A BIOCIDE. The addition of these products will result in severe and quick
corrosion problems.
If the distribution system requires anti-freeze, the distribution system MUST be isolated from the GARN® WHS heat storage water with a flat plate or equal heat exchanger. REFER TO CHEMICAL SDS FOR INSTRUCTIONS ON HOW TO SAFELY HANDLE THE PRECLEAN AND WATER TREATMENT CHEMICALS (available on www.GARN.com).
