FAQS
A. PERFORMANCE / GENERAL (CONT.)
9. What are the benefits of ducting the exhaust air? Can I duct the exhaust air to any part of the home? Is there a
restriction on the duct length?
The cool exhaust air from the unit maybe ducted to supplement home cooling in warmer months. You may duct the
exhaust air to any part of the home. For more information, refer to Airflow: Ducting &Fan Speed section.
10. Can I duct intake air to the unit?
ATI hybrid water heaters are also available in a Double Vent version (DV series). This version has a vent adapter for air
intake in addition to the vent adapter for exhaust air.
11. I am concerned that the exhaust air will offset home heating during winter. How can I manage this?
If the unit is installed in an unconditioned space such as a garage or attic, this is not a concern. If the unit is installed in
a conditioned space, you may duct the exhaust air outside or to an unconditioned area. You may operate the unit in
the lower fan speed setting to minimize home heating offset. . For more information, refer to Airflow: Ducting &Fan
Speed section.
12. How much noise does the unit produce when running?
The noise produced when running is comparable to a new domestic dishwasher.
13. Can the unit be transported or moved lying down/horizontally?
To avoid damage to the unit, do not transport the unit horizontally at any time. When moving the unit for installation,
please keep the unit as upright as possible.
14. Is it ok to use a re-circulating pump in conjunction with the unit?
A recirculation pump maybe used with the water heater. The warranty will remain unaffected. The following directions
are strongly recommended when a recirculation pump is being used:
A.
Water lines are adequately insulated to minimize heat loss
B. Use of recirculation pump should be optimized to prevent offset of energy gains from operating the ATI hybrid
water heater. Operation of the recirculation pump maybe optimized by setting a higher kick-in differential for
the recirculation pump and/or minimizing operating frequency of the recirculation pump by choosing fewer
operating periods if the recirculation pump is timer-controlled.
WARNING: The ATI hybrid water heater has internal thermostats to control its operations. Do not attempt to bypass
the water heater’s internal sensors by attaching an external device/thermostat. Such an action will void the warran-
ty on the unit.
15. Will using a water softener affect unit operation?
Using water softener is not expected to affect unit operation. Please note that extreme pH levels will void the lifetime
warranty on the tank.
