Coolant/Water Specifications

-

Ensuring adequate corrosion and cavitation protection for all components

-

Providing anti-freeze protection

-

Increasing the boiling point

-

Use only approved anti-corrosion/anti-freeze agents.

Water

-

Use water which is clean and not too hard. Drinking water frequently, but not always, satisfies requirements. The content of dissolved substances
in the water may be of significance for the occurrence of corrosion. If the water quality is not known, distilled or fully desalinated water should be
used.
