Experience has shown that improper installation or system design, rather than faulty equipment, is the cause of

elements is not the fault of the equipment and is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. (See Water
Treatment and Water Chemistry)
Do not energize electrical system before heater is completely filled with water. Damage caused to the
immersion heating elements by dry fire is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. Follow start up
procedure in the manual. Water heater corrosion and component failure caused by air-borne chemical vapors
is not covered under the manufacturer's warranty. Corrosion damage caused by current leakage due to
improper grounding of electrical systems or electronic components to the storage tank and related piping
is not covered by the manufacturer's warranty. Under no circumstance will the manufacturer be liable for
consequential damages resulting from the installation or use of this equipment. Correct installation procedures
and local codes must be adhered to.
