IMPORTANT SAFETY INSTRUCTIONS
A green terminal (or a wire connector marked “G”, “GR, “Ground”, or “GROUNDING”) is provided within the
control box. To reduce the risk of electric shock, connect this terminal or connector to the grounding terminal of
the electric service or supply panel with a continuous copper wire in accordance with your local electrical code.
• Do not install in a bath enclosure or shower stall or connect to a salt-regenerated
water softener or a water supply of salt water.
• Use copper conductors only.
• Use Water Hammer Arrestors in applications with excess pipe lengths or fast acting
valves, neglecting to do so will damage the heater and void the warranty.
• Use appropriate water conditioning to prevent water hardness in excess of 10 grains
per gallon. Also ensure that the pH level of the water is between 6.5 – 7.5.
Neglecting to do so will damage the heater and void the warranty.
• In accordance with NEC guideline, this water heater is designed for a continuous
duty cycle of 3 hours at 100% power output. Exceeding this rating could damage
the heater and void the warranty.
• Provide your heater with potable, uninterrupted supply of water at a constant
minimum pressure of 25 or 45 PSI (based on model) and maximum pressure of 150 PSI.
