7 Water Quality
Water quality can have an impact on appliance
longevity and may void the manufacturer's warranty.
For water analysis data call your local water department,
or if on a well, have well water analyzed periodically. If
water quality exceeds one or more of the values
speci ed below, Bosch recommends installing a water
conditioner or softener. If the tankless water heater is
operating in applications where the outlet temperature
exceeds 140°F, a water softening system is strongly
recommended. The higher the set temperature is on the
appliance, the greater the risk for scale/mineral
deposits. Damage from scale/mineral deposits is not
covered under warranty. Refer to manufacturer’s limited
warranty.
