Chapter 3 • Systems Overview & Operation
R
Turn “ON” the “WATER
HEATER” switch located
on the AC Main Distribution
Panel.
Once both the “WATER
PUMPS” switch and the
“WATER HEATER” switches
are “ON” the system can be
utilized.
NOTE: If the water heater has not been used for
some time it will take approximately 20 minutes for
the water to heat.
Maintenance
Very little maintenance is
required for the freshwater
s y s t e m , o t h e r t h a n
annual disinfecting and
winterizing. Periodically
check the entire system
to assure that the hose
connections, tube fittings,
electrical connections and
mounting bolts are properly secured, and free of
chafing.
Periodically check the in-line strainer attached to the
pump, and clean if necessary.
The system should be run at least every other month
to maintain the pump’s impellers in a stable operating
condition.
Winterizing The System
If the water system will not be used for an extended
amount of time it is recommended that it be drained.
Draining the freshwater system will require you
to energize the freshwater pump switch on the
instrument panel, press the button on the freshwater
shower head and empty the freshwater tank. Next
disconnect the hoses to and from the water pump
to allow as much water as possible to drain out. De-
energize the freshwater pump switch. Some service
facilities may recommend filling the freshwater
system with a non-toxic, non-freezing solution. This
procedure should be completed by an authorized
service center.
The water heater is equipped with a temperature
and pressure relief valve that complies with the
standard for Relief Valves & Automatic Gas Shut
off Devices for Hot Water Systems, ANSI Z 21.22
NOTICE
Hydrogen gas may form in the tank if the
system has not been used for more than two
weeks. DO NOT smoke or have any flame near
an open faucet.

Tempering Valve
A tempering valve is installed on the hot water outlet
of the water heater (Fig. 3.16.1) to reduce the risk of
scalding. The valve is set at it’s lowest temperature
(100°F) at the factory. The water temperature can be
adjusted up to a maximum of 130°F by turning the
valve counterclockwise until the water temperature
reaches your desired limit.
