Water Heater
The water heater is designed to heat water quickly and efciently. The water heater
manufacturer has preset the sensing limit to maintain the water temperature when the water
heater is activated.
Do not allow the lter housing to freeze.
Remove the cartridge before using anti-freeze to winterize the system or
chlorine solution to sanitize the system.
Flush housing thoroughly before it is put back into service after
winterizing or sanitizing.
For best results replace cartridge every 6-12 months.
Do not use carbon cartridges where water is microbiologically unsafe or
of unknown quality.
Maximum operating pressure is 125 psi (8.75 bar).
Maximum water temperature is 125° F (52° C).
Hydrogen gas may result if you have not used the water heater for two weeks
or more. HYDROGEN GAS IS EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE. To reduce
the risk of injury under these conditions, open the hot water faucet for several
minutes at the kitchen sink before you use any electrical appliance connected
to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, you may hear what sounds like
air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to ow. Hydrogen gas may
be present even after water has been drained from the water heater tank. Open
the faucet at the sink and allow the system to vent for ve to ten minutes. Do
not smoke or have any open ame near the open faucet while venting. On DSI
water heater models, make sure the switch is OFF.
Do not replace any component part with an accessory part that is not
authorized by the water heater manufacturer, such as an “add-on” electric
heating element. Such items are not approved to be installed and could create
an unsafe condition and will void all warranties.
