Water Chemistry Requirements - HTP Everlast 2.5 Manual De Uso Y Cuidado

NOTE: A combustible door or removable panel is acceptable front clearance.
The service life of the water heater's exposed metallic surfaces, such as the junction box, is directly infl uenced
by proximity to damp and salty marine environments. In such areas higher concentration levels of chlorides
from sea spray coupled with relative humidity can lead to degradation of water heater components and cause
premature water heater failure. Such failures ARE NOT covered by warranty.
Failure of the water heater or components due to incorrect operating conditions IS NOT covered by product
warranty.
Incorrect ambient conditions can lead to damage to the heating system and put safe operation at risk. Ensure
that the installation location adheres to the information included in this manual. Failure to do so could result in
property damage, serious personal injury, or death.
2. Choose a location for the water heater as centralized to the piping and electrical system as possible. Also, locate
the water heater and domestic water piping where it will not be exposed to freezing temperatures. All piping
should be insulated. Additionally, place the water heater so that the drain, controls, and inlets/outlets are easily
accessible.
NOTE: To save on heating costs and improve energy effi ciency keep the distance between the water heater and
fi xtures to a minimum to reduce heat loss from excess piping and keep friction loss at a minimum. Ensure all
water heater piping is properly insulated to minimize heat loss.
NOTE: If you do not provide the minimum recommended service clearances it might not be possible to service
the water heater without removing it from the space.
NOTE: In the State of California, the water heater must be braced, anchored, or strapped to avoid moving during
an earthquake. Contact local utilities for code requirements in your area. Visit http://www.dsa.dgs.ca.gov or call
1-916-445-8100 and request instructions.
3. Check area around water heater. Remove any combustible materials, gasoline, and other fl ammable liquids.
This water heater must not be located near fl ammable liquids such as gasoline, butane, liquefi ed propane,
adhesives, solvents, paint thinners, etc., as the controls of this water heater could ignite these vapors and cause
an explosion resulting in property damage, severe personal injury, or death.
This water heater must be installed upright in the vertical position as described in this manual. DO NOT attempt
to install this water heater in any other orientation. Doing so will result in improper water heater operation and
property damage, and could result in serious personal injury or death.
4. If the water heater is to replace an existing water heater, check for and correct any existing system problems
such as:
• System leaks
• Location that could cause the system and water heater to freeze and leak
• Incorrectly-sized expansion tank
5. This water heater must be installed vertical on a level surface.
C. Water Chemistry Requirements
Chemical imbalance of the water supply may aff ect effi ciency and cause severe damage to the appliance and
associated equipment. Water quality must be professionally analyzed to determine whether it is necessary
to treat the water. Various solutions are available to adjust water quality. Adverse water quality will aff ect the
reliability of the system. In addition, operating temperatures above 135
scale and possibly shorten appliance service life. Failure of an appliance due to lime scale build-up, low pH, or
other chemical imbalance IS NOT covered by the warranty.
The water must be potable, free of corrosive chemicals, sand, dirt, and other contaminates. It is up to the installer
to ensure the water does not contain corrosive chemicals or elements that can damage the heat exchanger.
Potable water is defi ned as drinkable water supplied from utility or well water in compliance with EPA secondary
maximum contaminant levels (40 CFR Part 143.3). If the water contains contaminants higher than outlined by the
EPA, water treatment is recommended and additional, more frequent maintenance may be required.
If you suspect that your water is contaminated in any way, discontinue use of the appliance and contact an
authorized technician or licensed professional.
