ANODE
The vitreous enamel lined cylinder of the water heater is only covered by the Everhot warranty when the total
dissolved solids (TDS) content in the water is less than 2500 mg/L and when the correct colour coded anode
is used. If an incorrect colour coded anode is used in the water heater, any resultant faults will not be covered
by the Everhot warranty. In addition, the use of an incorrect colour coded anode may shorten the life of the
water heater cylinder.
The correct colour coded anode for the water supply being used must be selected and fitted to the water heater
for the Everhot warranty to apply to the water heater cylinder (refer to
on page 15 and the
on page 15). The black anode is typically fitted as standard.
If an incorrect anode is used, there is also the possibility the anode may become overactive and hydrogen gas
could accumulate in the top of the water heater during long periods of no use. In areas where this is likely to
occur, the installer should instruct the householder on how to dissipate the gas safely (refer to
page 16).
HOT WATER DELIVERY
This water heater can deliver hot water at a temperature up to 82°C depending upon its thermostat setting.
This temperature is sufficiently hot to cause severe scalding. Water at this temperature may be plumbed to
fixtures where water hotter than 50°C is allowed, such as a kitchen, laundry and other areas requiring sanitising
temperatures.
The installing plumber may have a legal obligation to ensure the installation of this water heater meets the
water temperature delivery requirements of the Plumbing Code of Australia so that heated water delivered to
fixtures and appliances used primarily for personal hygiene is at a temperature which is unlikely to scald.
It is necessary and we recommend that a temperature limiting device be fitted between the water heater and
the fixtures and appliances used primarily for personal hygiene such as in a bathroom, ensuite, public
amenities or other ablution areas, to reduce the risk of scalding.
Where a temperature limiting device is installed adjacent to the water heater, the cold water line to the
temperature limiting device can be branched off the cold water line either before or after the isolation valve,
pressure limiting valve and non-return valve to the water heater. If an expansion control valve is required, it
must always be installed after the non-return valve and be the last valve prior to the water heater.
If a pressure limiting valve is installed on the cold water line to the water heater and the cold water line to a
temperature limiting device branches off before this valve or from another cold water line in the premises, then
a pressure limiting valve of an equal pressure setting may be required prior to the temperature limiting device.
