INRC Water Heater Repair / Water Treatment / Filtration

The Interagency Natural Resource Center (INRC) Coeur d’Alene Interagency Dispatch Center (CDC) has a new building located at 3260 W Nursery Road, Coeur d’Alene Idaho 83815.  The water heater, which is relatively new, has failed.  The water heater is a Lochinvar SNA201-100.  A diagnosis of the system has determined that the heat exchanger unit part number (Lochinvar Part # 100276591) failed due to particle / scaling.  The Forest Service needs the water heater repaired, so it is fully functional.  Additionally, the Forest Service is looking to install a filtration system, and a water treatment system to prevent future issues with the water heater.  The Forest Service is looking to install another filtration system and water treatment system on a similar water heater located at the INRC (next door) at the following address:  3232 W Nursery Road, Coeur d’Alene Idaho 83815.
