SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS - READ BEFORE YOU START
These instructions are only intended as a guide. If there is any doubt about installation,
please contact a licensed/certied plumber and/or electrician.
ENSURE THE DIGITAL INSTANT HOT WATER DISPENSER IS NOT CONNECTED TO ELECTRIC POWER DURING THE INSTALLATION.
•
•
Using an ungrounded or improper connection of the power supply to the product can cause serious injury or death from
electrical shock. ALWAYS use the USA IEC Power Cord supplied with the unit.
•
The Digital Instant Hot Water Dispenser must be mounted vertically and level. Because the Digital Instant Hot Water Dispenser is
not under pressure, there is a slight delay in water ow after the Hot & Cold or Hot Only Filtration Faucet handle is turned on. This
is normal and indicates the Digital Instant Hot Water Dispenser is functioning properly.
•
It is recommended that a “handle spring-back” type Filtration Faucet, like the BTI Aqua-Solutions 2100, 2200 or 2400 Series
Filtration Faucets, is used with the Digital Instant Hot Water Dispenser to protect the user from continuous dispensing of hot
water and possible injury from same.
•
Place the Digital Instant Hot Water Dispenser in position, check and ensure that the ltration faucet hoses and the power cord to
the electrical outlet will reach without being stretched.
ITEM HT4105
The Digital Instant Hot Water Dispenser must be positioned so the hoses to and from the Filtration Faucet do not twist or kink.
•
ELECTRICAL REQUIREMENTS
•
A 110V electrical power supply is required.
•
It is recommended that a separate circuit serving only the Digital Instant Hot Water Dispenser be provided OR use an outlet that
can be turned On/Off by a switch.
The Digital Instant Hot Water Dispenser is equipped with a power supply cord with a power plug. To minimize possible shock
•
hazard, the cord must be plugged into a mating ground-type outlet, grounded in accordance with all local codes and ordinances.
PLUMBING REQUIREMENTS
•
If local codes permit, the Hot & Cold or Hot Only Filtration Faucet hoses should be connected to hot and cold water supply lines
using shut-off valves.
•
The use of ltered, clean water with impurities removed is advised. Place a point-of-use ltration unit such as the BTI
Aqua-Solutions FL1000 in-line PRIOR to the Filtration Faucet.
•
Unltered water with impurities, grains of sand, etc., can clog the Dispenser and Filtration Faucet and cause the Dispenser’s
5-year warranty to be voided.
•
Connecting a standard, pressurized faucet may cause injury and will damage the electronic components of the Digital Instant Hot
Water Dispenser and void the 5-year warranty.
ENVIRONMENT REQUIREMENTS
••DO NOT install the Instant Hot Water Dispenser outdoors or in a location where the temperature may fall below 32ºF.
The installation environment should be ventilated, with protection from direct sunlight, in a humidity range of 10-70%.

HOW A VENTED FAUCET WORKS
OUTLETINLET
OUTLETINLET
Water ows from supply line (A) into the faucet base (B).
ITEM HT4105
Water is then diverted inside the faucet into line (C) and into the Digital
Instant Hot Water Dispenser (D).
The fresh water displaces hot water in the Dispenser, causing it to ow
freely through line (E) to the ltration faucet.
Hot water continues straight through the ltration faucet and exits
the spout, (F).
IMPORTANT!
NEVER OPERATE THE FAUCET IF THE CLEAR OUTLET TUBE (E) IS KINKED!
NEVER CONNECT AN INSTANT HOT WATER DISPENSER DIRECTLY TO A
STANDARD FAUCET. CONNECTION TO A FAUCET OTHER THAN A 3-LINE
VENTED FAUCET CAN CAUSE INJURY, INTERNAL DAMAGE TO DISPENSER
AND WILL VOID 5-YEAR WARRANTY.

reheat the water to the desired setting.
TEMPERATURE ADJUSTMENT (for temperatures above 203º F)
The BTI Aqua-Solutions Digital Instant Hot Water Dispenser has been set for optimum performance in most common and known
situations. However, there are factors which may inuence the performance of the Dispenser, such as incoming water
temperature, atmospheric pressure, and altitude.
Should you experience any discharge of water from the Filtration Faucet spout during heat-up, you can reduce the temperature
setting to compensate by adjusting the unit in 3 degree increments until the water discharge is eliminated.
Consult the “High Altitude Cooking” information included.

ITEM HT4105
HIGH ALTITUDE COOKING
Common knowledge tells us that water boils at 212ºF, but that number only represents how water boils at sea level. With each 500 feet
of increased elevation, the boiling point of water is lowered by about one degree. That means if you’re cooking at the highest point in
South Dakota, you’re going to be boiling at just 198º, and food will take longer to cook because of decreased atmospheric pressure.
Most cookbooks consider anything more than 3,000 feet in elevation to be “high altitude,” putting most of the western United States in
the category. For food safety as well as taste, cooks in a high altitude region must cook food for longer, add moisture to most baked
goods, and consider marinating or braising meat.
BTI Aqua-Solutions’ Instant Hot Water Dispenser can be adjusted for your specic region. If you do not know your city’s specic
elevation, nd the highest point in your state in the chart below. For each 500 feet of elevation more than sea level, reduce 212º by one
degree to determine your local boiling point.

BTI AQUA-SOLUTIONS INSTANT HOT WATER DISPENSER TROUBLESHOOTING GUIDE
THE UNIT DOES NOT HEAT WATER
The BTI Aqua-Solutions Instant Hot Water Dispenser will take between 8 and 10 minutes (from initial activation) to heat water to
the setting specied. If the unit is not heating water, make sure the unit is plugged into a 110V outlet that you have conrmed to
be operational. Test the outlet by plugging in another 110V item, such as a light. If the outlet is working and the unit is not heating
water, please contact BTI Client Support at 720.322.0800 for assistance.
THE FAUCET DRIPS OR SPITS FROM THE SPOUT
Although this is an “uncommon” occurrence with the BTI Instant Hot Water Dispenser unit, certain altitude conditions may make
the faucet drip/spit when the Instant Hot Water Dispenser is reheating water to replenish the unit’s water supply. Once the water
level in the dispenser is lled and heated, the dripping/spitting will cease.
THE WATER HAS AN ODOR OR TASTES FUNNY
ITEM HT4105
The BTI Instant Hot Water Dispenser contains NSF-approved, food-grade materials for the cold-water inlet and a 304 Stainless
Steel tank for the hot water reservoir. Using these materials and the quality control inspections at time of manufacturing elimi-
nates any leaching of chemicals into the unit. The common cause of odor or bad taste is the presence of unltered water being
heated by the unit. Upon heating the unltered water, the odors and taste are accentuated. The best solution to this problem is to
install a point-of-use ltration unit such as the BTI Aqua-Solutions FL1000 in conjunction with the Instant Hot Water Dispenser.
Make sure the ltration unit selected is certied to both NSF 42 and 53 standards to assure maximum protection. Once the water
is ltered, the bad odor and taste will not be present in heated water.
WARNING - IMPORTANT
THE BTI AQUA-SOLUTIONS INSTANT HOT WATER DISPENSER MUST ONLY BE USED WITH A 3-LINE VENTED FAUCET.
If connected to a non-vented faucet, the 5-year warranty will be void.
Additionally, the use of any in-line water chiller with any BTI Aqua-Solutions Filtration Faucet will void the 5-year warranty of
any BTI Aqua-Solutions Filtration Faucet and Instant Hot Water Dispenser.
