Air Source Heat Pump Water Heater 

10 

4 Installation Precautions 

4.1 Importance Notes 

(1) 

The air source water heater must be installed by professional personnel 

by abiding by the national wiring code and following the instructions in this guide. 

(2) 

For installation or migration of the air source water heater, please contact 

your local service centers authorized by

 

C&H

. In the case of an air source water 

heater installed by any party not authorized or designated by

 

C&H

,

shall not undertake any responsibility for any fault or problems caused the air 
source water heater. 

(3) 

If the user installs the air source water heater using self-prepared 

installation materials,

 

C&H

 shall not undertake any responsibility for any loss caused 

by improper running and use of the air source water heater due to pipe leakage, 

fall-off, or insecure installation. 

(4) 

The quality of water heated by the air source water heater meets the local 

drinking water health standards. If well water, groundwater, and seawater are used, 

the depletion of the Mg-Stick in the water tank may be accelerated, thereby 

shortening the lifespan of the unit. 

(5) 

The water processed by the ion exchange water softener accelerates the 

depletion of the Mg-Stick in the water tank. Therefore, you are advised not to 

connect the water inlet of the air source water heater to a water softener. 

4.2 Basic Requirements for Installation Sites 

The  following  sites  for  installing  the  air  source  water  heater  may  be  prune  to 

become  faulty.  If  the  following  sites  cannot  be  avoided,  please  consult  your  local 

service centers authorized by

 

C&H

 to customize special models. 

(1) 

Environments that are exposed to strong heat sources, steam, flammable 

gases, or volatile substances. 

(2) 

Places  where  there  are  high-frequency  facilities,  such  as  welding 

machines or medical equipment. 

(3)

Seaside saline areas. 

(4)

Places where the air contains oil (such as machine oil). 

(5)

Places where the air contains sulfide gases (such as sulfide hot springs).
