Installation of Amerec 18 KW AI Boiler

Amerec boilers are of extreme high quality, if you are thinking about installing one for your club this is the brand you need.  This particular installation was to replace an old Amerec boiler that had been operating without any major issues for close to 10 years.  Although the old boiler was still working before replacement, our customer wanted to take the opportunity to install a brand new boiler.  In this case, we decided to add the Amerec ASX-200 Dual Stage Filtration System which the old boiler did not have.  Installing a filtration system is very important even if you have an automatic draining system, this old auto-drain system was completely clogged due to the hardness of the water supply.  This filtration system will give you six months of clean water, so the cartridges should be replaced at least twice a year.  We then tied the new boiler to the old copper plumbing lines, replacing just certain couplings and connections leaving the mechanical part of the boiler ready to operate.  Before ordering the new boiler, we ensured that the voltage and phase would actually match the onsite supply; therefore, we were able to correctly connect the 240-volt supply, which also provides 120 volt to the boiler controls.  We also ran a new cable for the temperature probe and for the on/off control.  Once all these connections were made, we proceeded to set up the digital run clocks for the automatic drain and for the operation of the boiler.  We prefer to set up the boiler on a continuous run throughout the daily hours of operation for the club, as this ensures that a smooth temperature maintenance can be attained throughout the day so that spa users don't have to wait for the steam room to heat up if it has been through a resting period.  These boilers are made to operate 24/7 so it will not cause any problems in the long run.  We also like to set the automatic drain for a time when we know the club will be completely closed and no one will be around; although, the drain source is located in a safe area where scolding is not likely, we prefer to be extra safe.  After testing the boiler for two hours, we ensured proper operation and the newly renovated spa was ready to go.
