OCCASIONAL REFILL OF THE TANK
1. MANUALLY REFILL YOUR WATER
HEATER AFTER MAINTENANCE
During the life of the water heater there may be
occasions where the tank has to be refilled manually,
such as after draining the tank in order to perform
maintenance on the static water circuit, or change a
heating element or the heat exchanger.
For the filling procedure, please refer to Filling the
water heater section (see page 20) and follow the
procedure.
2. AUTOMATIC REFILL OF YOUR
WATER HEATER AND LEAK
DETECTION
Due to water expansion and condensation, your
water heater will lose tiny quantities of water each
day, through the overflow drain. Per month, it is
estimated to lose less than a quarter of a gallon —
which is how much a traditional electric tank water
heater loses per day.
Your water heater will compensate for this lost
volume by automatically refilling to reach the
desired water level. It will activate a solenoid valve
approximately once every 3 months, during which
you will hear water running inside the tank for a few
seconds.
Your water heater will also detect if it’s refilling too
frequently, which would indicate that there is a
leak on the static water circuit or the tank and will
therefore alert you (see Troubleshooting & Service
section page 43).
