Comments
:00 to 2:00 minutes
Unit will go through self-check
This 2 minute off-time prevents compressor from being “short cycled”
(improved reliability).
2:00 to 10:00 minutes
Compressor and fan turn on and run for 8 minutes
This 8 minute period is used to ensure tank is full of water (dry fire prevention algorithm).
10:00 to 30:00 minutes Compressor and fan turn off, heating elements turn on for approximately
20 minutes.
Quickly provides initial amount of hot water for user (~25 gallons).
30 minutes and beyond Upper element turns off, and compressor turns back on.
Uses efficient heat pump for majority of heating.
NOTE: Heat pump operating range is 45°F to 120°F.
