5) SETTING THE TEMPERATURE
At this point, the water temperature may not be
very hot. Using the OUTLET BALL VALVE, slowly
reduce water flow until the desired temperature is
achieved. Always keep the INLET BALL VALVE fully
“OPEN”. NEVER RESTRICT THE WATER FLOW
USING THE INLET VALVE. The temperature is
proportional to the flow through the heater; the
lower the flow, the higher the temperature and
vice versa.
If water flow is TOO HOT follow the instructions below according to what model Eemax heater you
have:”Single Point/Flow Controlled” or “Thermostatic”.
“Single Point” and “Flow Controlled” heaters have
a circuit board that looks like this:
“Thermostatic” heaters have a circuit board that
looks like this:
These heaters have no
controls on the circuit
board to turn the
temperature of the
water DOWN.
Volume of water through these heaters is the way
maximum temperature is controlled. If the outlet
valve is adjusted to less than wide-open, open it
up to maximum flow. You may have to change the
faucet aerator to a larger size (0.5 GPM to 1 GPM,
for example) to reduce temperature.
The thin blue temperature adjustment shaft in the
upper left corner controls the maximum
temperature of the water. If the water is too hot:
turn the temperature adjustment shaft counter-
clockwise about 1/8 of a turn and wait 15-20
seconds. If the temperature remains too hot,
repeat this step until the desired temperature is
achieved.
Congratulations !
Your Eemax tankless electric water heater is fully installed and ready for use !
