HOW TO IMPROVE PERFORMANCE
7. If your installation is Borderline, enquire from your plumber about fitting
inexpensive flow control valves, water efficient shower roses, low flow tap
aerators which will help reduce water usage. Replace leaky tap washers.
8. An option is to adjust the Thermostat upwards to gain additional hot
water capacity for limited periods. Avoid setting above 80ºC to reduce the
possibility of scalding and reduction of the life of your heater.
9. You may adjust the Flow Rate of the heater. (See ‘Adjusting the Flow Rate’,
Page 12).
HIGH ELECTRICITY BILLS
• Check for excessive flow from Overflow - (See ‘Water Pressure’, Page11)
• Check for leaking pipe or dripping tap. A dripping tap at one drip per second
wastes over 14,000 litres of water per year, which have paid to heat.
• Ask your Plumber to replace any leaking tap washers or other leaks.
• Is an outlet such as the shower using more hot water than is necessary?
Fit an inexpensive flow control valve.
EXCESSIVE STEAM DISCHARGING FROM THE
WATER HEATER VENT
Adjust thermostat down. If the water heater is boiling, turn off the power to
the unit and phone 1300 363 959 or an Accredited Service Agent to arrange for
inspection.
