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 efficiency keep the distance between the water heater and

fixtures 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 flammable liquids.

This water heater must not be located near flammable liquids such as gasoline, butane, liquefied 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

5. This water heater must be installed vertical on a level surface.

B. Water Chemistry Requirements

Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efficiency 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 affect 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, and meet the

manufacturer's requirements. 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 defined 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 and the manufacturer, 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.

*NOTE: To promote appliance service life, it is strongly recommended to follow the maintenance procedures in

this manual.
