Control

3.1  Zone Thermostat(s) Operation
Interior Room Thermostats

Simply adjust each Interior Room Thermostat to the desired temperature.

Then, whenever an Interior Room Thermostat 

“calls-for-heat,”

 the Aqua-

Hot’s Circulation Pump(s) and Interior Heat Exchanger Fans will be

activated.  These devices together will supply warmth and comfort to each

interior heating zone.  Please contact your specific motorhome

manufacturer for the exact location of the Interior Room Thermostat(s).

Fresh Water Tank Thermostat

Simply adjust the Thermostat (i.e., Bay Heating) to approximately 40

degrees Fahrenheit.  This will prevent freezing of the domestic water

storage system. Please contact your specific motorhome manufacturer

for the exact location of the Fresh Water Tank Thermostat.

SECTION 3:  OPERATING INSTRUCTIONS

3.2  Using the Domestic Hot Water System

When the Aqua-Hot is at operating temperature, the domestic water is

automatically heated as it is being used.  Because the Aqua-Hot does not

store any hot water

,

 simply open any hot water faucet and a continuous

supply of domestic hot water will be present within a few seconds.  This

hot water feature is 

continuous

 and is accomplished by the Aqua-Hot’s

Domestic Hot Water Heating System.  Please note that the 

Diesel

switch must be 

ON

to get an unlimited supply of hot water (i.e., during

showers).

3.3  Using the Engine Preheat System

When the Aqua-Hot is at operating temperature and the 

Diesel-Burner

and/or the

 Electric Heating Element(s) 

switch(s) is 

ON

, follow these

simple instructions:

A.

 Turn the Aqua-Hot's 

Engine Preheat

 switch 

ON

; reference 

Figure 3

.

This procedure will activate the Engine Preheat Circulation Pump and

circulate the engine's coolant through the Engine Preheat System.

This feature will adequately warm the engine for easy start-ups on

cool mornings.

NOTE:

 Allow approximately 1 to 2 hours of engine preheating run

time.  Preheat duration will be shortest when the 

Diesel

 switch is 

ON

.
