Operating the water heating
unit
IMPORTANT
Before switching “on” the power at the main circuit breaker panel make sure that the hot
water circuit is free of air pockets or premature failure of the heating element will occur.
To do this open all hot water faucets one at a time for a minute or two until the water flow
is continuous and free from “gulping” and from visible air pockets.
1) With inlet and outlet BALL VALVES fully open, turn on a hot water outlet.
2) Run for 1 minute.
3) Switch on electric supply at circuit breaker panel.
4) The power indicator light should now illuminate (see Fig. 1), pulsing at first. Allow 40
seconds for the indicator lights to remain illuminated, the unit is now operating at full power.
NOTE: At this point water temperature may not be hot.
5) Using the OUTLET BALL VALVE slowly reduce water flow until desired water temperature
is achieved at hot water outlet.
NOTE: The water temperature is regulated by the flow through the heater. The lower the
flow the higher the water temperature and vice versa.

6) Turn the water temperature adjustment screw on the first module counter clockwise
1/8 of a turn, wait for 10-15 seconds and see if the indicator light begins to pulse. If the
indicator does not, turn another 1/8 of a turn, wait and again see if the lamp begins to pulse.
Repeat until the light is pulsing regularly which indicates that the temperature has stabilized
at the set temperature. Repeat with modules two and three. Check that the outlet temperature
