start up condItIons

sMoKe/odor

It is not uncommon to experience a small amount of smoke and odor 

during the initial start-up. This is due to burning off of oil from metal 

parts, and will disappear in a short while.

therMal eXpansIon

As  water  is  heated,  it  expands  (thermal  expansion).  In  a  closed 

system  the  volume  of  water  will  grow  when  it  is  heated. As  the 

volume of water grows there will be a corresponding increase in 

water pressure due to thermal expansion. Thermal expansion can 

cause premature tank failure (leakage). This type of failure is not 

covered under the limited warranty. Thermal expansion can also 

cause  intermittent  Temperature-Pressure  Relief  Valve  operation: 

water discharged from the valve due to excessive pressure build 

up. This condition is not covered under the limited warranty. The 

Temperature-Pressure Relief Valve is not intended for the constant 

relief of thermal expansion.
A properly sized thermal expansion tank must be installed on all 

closed systems to control the harmful effects of thermal expansion. 

Contact  a  local  plumbing  service  agency  to  have  a  thermal 

expansion tank installed.

operatIonal condItIons

sMellY water

In each water heater there is installed at least one anode rod (see 

Figure 1) for corrosion protection of the tank. Certain water conditions 

will  cause  a  reaction  between  this  rod  and  the  water. The  most 

common complaint associated with the anode rod is one of a “rotten 

egg smell” in the hot water. The smell is a result of four factors which 

must all be present for the odor to develop:

a.  A concentration of sulfate in the supply water.
b.  Little or no dissolved oxygen in the water.
c.  A sulfate reducing bacteria which has accumulated within the 

water heater (this harmless bacteria is nontoxic to humans).

d.  An excess of active hydrogen in the tank. This is caused by the 

corrosion protective action of the anode.

Smelly water may be eliminated or reduced in some water heater 

models by replacing the anode(s) with one of less active material, and 

then chlorinating the water heater tank and all water lines. Contact 

the  local  water  heater  supplier  or  a  qualified  service  agency  for 

further information concerning an Anode Replacement Kit and this 

chlorination treatment.
If  the  smelly  water  persists  after  the  anode  rod  replacement  and 

chlorination treatment, we can only suggest that chlorination or aeration 

of the water supply be considered to eliminate the water problem.

do not remove the anode rod leaving the tank unprotected. by 

doing so, all warranty on the water heater tank is voided.

“aIr” In hot water faucets

HYDROGEN GAS: Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water 

system that has not been used for a long period of time (generally 

two  weeks  or  more).  Hydrogen  gas  is  extremely  flammable  and 

explosive. To prevent the possibility of injury under these conditions, 

we  recommend  the  hot  water  faucet,  located  farthest  away,  be 

opened  for  several  minutes  before  any  electrical  appliances 

which are connected to the hot water system are used (such as a 

dishwasher or washing machine). If hydrogen gas is present, there 

will probably be an unusual sound similar to air escaping through the 

pipe as the hot water faucet is opened. There must be no smoking 

or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
