Water Heater Location

 

□ Centrally located with the water piping system.

 

□ The flooring beneath the water heater must be able to 

support the weight of the water heater when filled with 

water (See Table 1).

 

□ Located indoors (such as a basement or garage) 

and in a vertical position. Sheltered from freezing 

temperatures.

 

□ Provisions made to shelter the area from water    

damage. Metal drain pan installed and piped to an 

adequate drain.

 

□ Sufficient room to service the water heater.

 

□ The water heater must have unrestricted airflow and 

requires a minimum installation space of 750 cubic feet. 

As an example, a room that has an eight foot tall ceiling 

and is 10 feet long by 9-1/2 feet wide would contain 

760 cubic feet. See The Confined Space Installation 

section of this manual for installing the water heater in 

spaces of less than 750 cubic feet. 

 

  

NOTE:

 This Heat Pump Water Heater may be located 

within a required minimum

 of 6” clearance from a wall 

on the inlet or outlet side, however for future service 

considerations a minimum clearance of 3 feet from 

any obstruction on the left and right side (air inlet and 

outlet) is recommended.

 

□ The unit cannot be placed into any type of closet or 

small enclosure.

 

□ The site location must be free from any corrosive 

elements in the atmosphere such as sulfur, fluorine, 

and chlorine. These elements are found in aerosol 

sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, air 

fresheners, paint, and varnish removers, refrigerants, 

and many other commercial and household products. 

In addition excessive dust and lint may affect the 

operation of the unit and require more frequent 

cleaning (See “Cleaning the Heat Pump” section).

 

□ Ambient air temperature must be above 45°F and 

below 109°F. If the ambient air temperature falls 

outside these upper and lower limits the electrical 

elements will activate to meet the hot water demand.

Water System Piping

 

□ Temperature and pressure relief valve properly    

installed with a discharge pipe run to an adequate drain  

and sheltered from freezing (See Figure 5).

 

□ All piping properly installed and free of leaks.

 

□ Heater completely filled with water (See “Water Piping 

System” section).

 

□ Closed system pressure buildup precautions installed 

(See “Closed System/Thermal Expansion” section).

INSTALLATION CHECKLIST

 

□ Mixing valve (when applicable) installed per 

manufacturer’s instructions (See “Water Temperature 

Regulation” section).

Condensate Drain Line Installation

 

□ Must be located with access to an adequate drain or 

condensate pump.

 

□ Condensate drain lines installed and piped to an 

adequate drain or condensate pump (See Figure 4).

Electrical Connections

 

□ This water heater requires a 240 VAC single phase 25 

amp power supply. DO NOT use a 208 VAC service.

 

□ Wiring size and connections comply with all applicable  

codes or in the absence of local or state codes follow 

NFPA-70, the National Electrical Code-current edition.

 

□ Water heater and electrical supply are properly    

grounded.

 

□ Wiring enclosed in approved conduit (if required by 

local codes).

 

□ Proper overload fuse or circuit breaker protection 

installed.

Post Installation Review

 

□ Understand how to use the User Interface Module to 

set the various modes and functions (See “Adjusting 

the User Interface Module/Operating Modes” section). 

 

□ Hybrid Mode is the recommended Operating Mode. 

Understand the various Operating Modes and which 

mode may be best based on season, ambient 

temperature, and usage (See “Operating Mode 

Description” section).  

NOTE:

 It may be necessary to temporarily change 

modes if for example filling a spa or hot tub.

 

□ Understand the importance of routine inspection/

maintenance of the condensate drain pan and lines 

(See “

Inspection/Cleaning of the Condensate Drain 

Pan & Condensate Drain Lines” section)

.  This is to 

help prevent any possible drain line blockage resulting 

in the condensate drain pan overflowing.  

IMPORTANT:

 Water coming from the plastic shroud is 

an indicator that both condensation drain lines may be 

blocked. Immediate action is required.

 

□ To maintain optimal operation check, remove and clean 

the air filter (See “Air Filter Cleaning/Replacement” 

section).

 

□ The Installation Instructions and Use & Care Guide 

should be kept with the water heater for reference.
