C. Water Chemistry Requirements Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efficiency and cause severe damage to the water heater and associated equipment. HTP recommends having water quality professionally analyzed to determine whether it is necessary to install a water softener. It is important that the water chemistry on both the domestic hot water and central heating sides are checked before installing the water heater, as water quality will affect the reliability of the system.
2. Connect the hot water line to the connection marked “HOT” on the top of the water heater. 3. Install the T&P Valve in the opening provided near the top of the heater. 4. Install drain valve in the opening provided near the bottom of the heater. B. Thermal Expansion A check valve may be installed in the cold water inlet line as a separate backflow preventer, or may be part of a pressure reducing valve, water meter, or water softener. An “open water system” refers to a system without a check valve.
F. Scalding To avoid water damage or scalding due to relief valve operation: • Discharge line must be connected to relief valve outlet and run to a safe place of disposal. Terminate the discharge line in a manner that will prevent possibility of severe burns or property damage should the relief valve discharge. • Discharge line must be as short as possible and the same size as the valve discharge connection throughout its entire length.
When filling the water heater, open a hot water tap to release air in the tank and piping. The tank must be full of water before the heater is turned on. Failure to ensure the water heater is full before turning it on could result in damage to the water heater and other property damages. Such damages ARE NOT covered by water heater warranty. H. Applications Part 4 - Wiring Tank must be full of water before the power is turned on.

stopped heating, measure the water temperature at a hot water outlet in the structure. There are two thermostats on dual element heaters. If Step #9 - If the water heater is operating properly and the water temperature adjustment is necessary, TURN OFF POWER temperature is satisfactory, adjustment is complete. TO HEATER, remove black access cover and insulation. The thermostat protective cover SHOULD NOT be removed. Set temperature indicator to desired temperature.
to the heater during flushing operation, so the elements will not be damaged. Failure to shut off the heater when draining may damage the heating elements. Operating a partially filled / empty water heater could lead to damage from “dry-firing”. Failures due to such damage ARE NOT covered by warranty. Figure 6 - Heating Element Detail NOTE: Repeat Steps 3 - 6 as Necessary for Multiple Elements Step #7 - Open the main cold water inlet.
The maintenance activities described below are only to be performed by the Installer / Qualified Service Provider.
