Hello, I just installed a new boiler and I am looking for boiler treatment for the PH level. I tested the water and it is 4 on PH

Oh, this is a steam boiler.0

That is a really low PH. Was something added to this water? It should be about 7 coming out of the tap.
You can raise it with Rectorseal 8-way treatment. But just add a little at a time and see how it affects the PH. Don't follow the directions. Get it up to 10 or 11.NJ Steam Homeowner.

No I did not add any thing, but I will ask the contractor.0

I would suggest you get familiar with treating the water yourself. My understand there are very few that recommend or even do it. There are several of us on here that treat the water, for me the boiler size doesn't matter, it's a major investment and I want it to last as long as possible.ReggieC123 said:No I did not add any thing, but I will ask the contractor.
Also, you need a place to add the treatment, if the installer didn't pipe in a convenient place then you may have to add something.2 -
