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 effi ciency. The antifreeze is mixed to a 50/50 ratio with de-ionized water (water
purifi ed 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 Aqua-Hot is not at operating temperature may result in overfl ow when the
Aqua-Hot attains normal operating temperature.
Disinfecting:
The tubing inside the Aqua-Hot is rated for fresh water and winterizing solutions.
The potable water system should be periodically disinfected, which includes fl ushing
the disinfecting solution through the Aqua-Hot. This will not affect the Aqua-Hot as
long as the solution is thoroughly rinsed. However, failure to thoroughly rinse the
Aqua-Hot with fresh water may result in damage to the Aqua-Hot.
CAUTION:
If not properly and thoroughly rinsed, bleach or other concentrated chlorine bearing
chemicals can cause failure to the tubing inside the Aqua-Hot domestic water loop.
Annual Tune Up:
It is important to have the Aqua-Hot tuned up annually, which consists of a fuel nozzle and fuel fi lter
replacement and a thorough cleaning of the combustion chamber. A tune up will keep the Aqua-Hot running
smoothly throughout the year, as well as allow service personnel to inspect for additional wear of other
components. Signs that the Aqua-Hot may need servicing are continuous white exhaust smoke or poor ignition
start up. When in operation, the Aqua-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.
Winterize the Aqua-Hot:
The Aqua-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 Aqua-Hot until the solution
appears at the hot water side of a faucet.
