DRAINING THE WATER HEATER
To drain the water heater:
Turn off the water heater (refer to
“Turn Off The Water Heater”
on page 72).
Open a hot tap (preferably the shower outlet).
Unscrew the two drain plugs, one each at the cold water inlet and hot water outlet, on the underside of
the water heater.
Water will drain from the water heater.
When water stops flowing from the water heater, close the hot tap.
Note:
It is recommended not to screw the drain plugs back in, until the water heater is to be turned on again.
WATER SUPPLIES
Your water heater is manufactured to suit the water conditions of most New Zealand metropolitan water
supplies. However, there are some known water supplies that can have detrimental effects on the water
heater and its operation and / or life expectancy. If you are unsure of your water chemistry, you can obtain
information from your local water supply authority plumber or merchant.
This water heater is not suitable for connection to bore water or spring water unless a water treatment device
is fitted to bring PH levels to between 7-7.5.
