Care & Maintenance
Antifreeze:
The antifreeze is a special “boiler type”
propylene glycol base. The antifreeze has low
silicate content with corrosion inhibitors and
heat transfer compounds. This type of antifreeze
provides freeze protection and excellent heat
transfer for operating efficiency. The antifreeze
is mixed to a 50/50 ratio with de-ionized water
(water purified by reverse osmosis). DO NOT
mix antifreeze types as this can cause scaling
and possible component failure. The antifreeze
can be purchased directly from Vehicle Systems
Inc .
CAUTION:
Use only a non-toxic propylene glycol
based antifreeze recommended for
“boiler” applications. This antifreeze is
affirmed GRAS (Generally Recognized
as Safe by the EPA). Contact Vehicle
Systems Inc. at 1-800-685-4298 to
purchase the antifreeze.
Reservoir:
The coolant reservoir
is located behind the
curbside fuel door. Check
the reservoir coolant level
monthly. Inspect the coolant
level when the diesel
burner has just shut off. The
coolant level should be at
the Full Hot level. Adding
coolant to the reservoir when the Hydro-Hot
is not at operating temperature may result in
overflow when the Hydro-Hot attains normal
operating temperature.
Disinfecting:
The tubing inside the Hydro-Hot is rated
for fresh water and winterizing solutions.
The potable water system will be periodically
disinfected, which includes flushing the
disinfecting solution through the Hydro-Hot.
This will not affect the Hydro-Hot as long as the
solution is thoroughly rinsed. However, failure
to thoroughly rinse the Hydro-Hot with fresh
water may result in damage to the Hydro-Hot.
CAUTION:
If not properly and thoroughly rinsed,
bleach or other concentrated chlorine
bearing chemicals can cause failure
to the tubing inside the Hydro-Hot
domestic water loop.
Annual Tune Up:
The Hydro-Hot tune up consists of fuel nozzle
and fuel filter replacement and a thorough
cleaning of the combustion chamber. A tune
up will keep the Hydro-Hot running smoothly
throughout the year, as well
as allow service personnel to
inspect for additional wear
of other components. Signs
that the Hydro-Hot may need
servicing are continuous white
exhaust smoke or poor ignition start up. When
in operation, the Hydro-Hot should have a
smooth, high-pitched whine. Loud growls or
other abnormal noise indicates service or repair
is required.
CAUTION:
Disconnect all power supplies before
cleaning or servicing.
Winterization:
The Hydro-Hot can remain on during the
winter months or it must be winterized with
FDA approved RV antifreeze to prevent freeze
damage. The RV antifreeze must be pumped
through the Hydro-Hot until the solution
appears at the hot water side of a faucet.
The on-board water pump can be used (see
illustration), or a separate pump can be hooked
to the city water fitting. Refer to the OEM
owner’s manual for complete winterizing
instructions.
If the Hydro-Hot is not winterized, it must
remain operational. If the system is operating
from electric and there
is a power outage, freeze
damage may occur.
