INSTALLATION OF THE GEYSER-R
Note: The following installation instructions cover the installation of the Geyser-R in
conjunction with an electric water heater. Alternate water tanks may require an
alternative installation method not covered by this manual. It is recommended that you
contact
Hubbell Electric Heater Company
office (
203-378-2659
) and speak with technical
support to see if the Geyser-R can be used in a particular application other than an
electric water heater.

Survey the area where the Geyser-R is to be installed. Make sure the area is clear of
obstructions, clear of debris, and clean of significant dust and dirt that can get into the
unit or clog the filter.

Area should be at least 1,500 sq ft of open space.

Ambient air temperature should be at least 50°F (10°C). Temperatures lower than this
will cause the unit to defrost constantly and reduce the efficiency. If the temperature in
the space gets lower than 50°F (10°C), it is recommended that the unit be shut off until
a constant temperature above 50°F (10°C) can be maintained.

When choosing the placement of the Geyser-R , make sure the fan is not blocked or close
to a wall or other object that would inhibit air flow.

The Geyser-R should be placed on the floor or set on vibration isolation pads. Make sure
the unit is higher than the drain and the drain line has an unobstructed path to the
drain.

You can install the unit in an elevated position if desired. Make sure the unit is secure
and that the piping is not kinked or restricted in any way. The unit should not be
installed higher than the top of the water heater.

Piping should be kept to a minimum and as short as possible to minimize heat loss. 4
feet is the recommended length.

Check the overall condition of the existing water heater.

Make sure the drain is easily accessible.

Be sure shut off valves are in good condition and are in working order.

If unit is being installed in an attic it is recommended that both hard and soft foam be
placed on the joists to absorb any excess vibration.

Make sure there is an 115V outlet in close proximity to where the unit is going to be
installed.

DO NOT install the Geyser-R with an extension cord of any size.
