REDUCING HEAT LOSSES
We recommend the first 1.5 to 2 m of the hot water line coming out of the water
heater be insulated with weatherproof insulation. In addition, the insulation of the
hot water line from the water heater must comply with the requirements of
AS/NZS 3400.4.2.
ANODE TYPES
The correct anode type for the water supply being used must be fitted in the water
heater (refer to “Water Supplies” on page 38). The black anode is standard.

SADDLING - PIPE WORK
To prevent damage to the cylinder when attaching pipe clips or saddles to the water
heater jacket, we recommend the use of self-drilling screws with a maximum length
of 12 mm. Should pre drilling be required, extreme caution must be observed when
penetrating the jacket of the water heater.
Note: Damage to the cylinder as a
result of saddling to the jacket will void the
warranty.
BOOSTER HEATING UNIT
The booster heating unit(s) provides hot water during periods of low solar gain.
Single element models can be connected to either an Off-Peak electricity supply or
a continuous electricity supply. Twin element models are to be connected with the
bottom heating unit on an Off-Peak electricity supply and the top heating unit on a
continuous electricity supply. Boosting can be controlled via a user operated
manual switch. Refer to “Manual Controls” on page 33.
