Water quality control in heat pumps: pH, conductivity, and purity

Water quality directly affects heat exchangers, circulators, valves, and metal components of the installation.

pH

Extreme pH values can increase the risk of corrosion or affect materials and seals.

Conductivity provides an insight into the water's content of dissolved salts and helps in assessing its suitability.

Sludge, magnetite, and suspended particles can reduce flow and heat transfer.

Measurements are compared against the requirements of the manufacturer and the specific installation.
