10. Operation Guide

Operating your new tankless water heater is like using any traditional water heating system. However, 

it is essential that you carefully read all setup procedures and operating instructions to ensure the 

maximum performance and energy savings from your new water heater. It is recommended that 

all members of your household read these operating Instructions.
This electric water heater is designed to supply hot water. The unit’s internal heating elements are 

capable of heating water quickly on-demand for as long as you need it. Unlike a conventional tank 

storage water heater, this unit is a tankless water heater that does not store hot water. However, 

once you begin using the system, you will understand it works like a conventional tank system.
Tankless system delivers hot water instantaneously on demand. Since a tankless system does not 

waste energy continually when heating water, that is, idly sitting and losing heat in a storage tank, 

it provides significant energy savings than a conventional water heater.
With your new system, as soon as you turn on the hot water faucet, the demand for hot water is 

detected by a flow sensor, and the high-power heating elements are activated. Sensors continually 

monitor the water flow rate and measure the incoming and outgoing water temperature. Data is 

transmitted to the system logic controls, which determine the exact amount of power required by 

heating elements to heat the water to your desired temperature.
It is essential to keep in mind that all tankless water heaters are subject to a maximum flow rate. If 

this flow rate is exceeded, the heater will not be capable of sufficiently heating water.
Also keep in mind that conventional tank heaters are set to high temperatures to prevent running 

out of hot water quickly, and thus a large amount of cold water needs to be mixed in to reach a 

comfortable level for washing and showering. Since this unit heats water on demand, it is designed 

to heat to a lower temperature. This means you only need to mix in a small amount of cold water 

or none at all.
Your hot water supply may also be affected by the incoming water temperature as the seasons 

change. During winter, if incoming water temperature is very cold, you might not be able to run 

multiple hot water outlets at the same time, as in the summer. However, you can run showers 

back-to-back without having to wait for water to heat.
