General Safety Precautions

 

 

Be sure to read and understand the entire Manual before attempting to install or operate 
this unit. Pay particular attention to the following General Safety Precautions. Failure to 
follow these warnings could cause property damage, bodily injury or death. Should you 
have any problems understanding the instructions in this manual, STOP, and get help 
from a qualified installer or technician. 

 

Section 2 : INTRODUCTION 

 

 

The  important  safeguards  and  instructions 
appearing  in  this  manual  are  not  meant  to 
cover  all  possible  conditions  and  situations 
that may occur. It should be understood that 
common sense, caution and care are factors 
which  cannot  be  built  into  every  product. 
These  factors  must  be  supplied  by  the 
person(s) caring for and operating the unit. 

 
2.1 LOCAL INSTALLATION 
REGULATIONS 

This ECO ULTRA electric boiler must be installed 
in  accordance  with  these  instructions  and  must 
conform to local regulation, or in the absence of 
local  codes,  with  the  current  edition  of  the 
National Plumbing Code and the National Electric 
Code.  In  any  case  where  instructions  in  this 
manual  differ  from  local  or  national  codes,  the 
local or national codes take precedence.

 

 

2.2 CORROSIVE ATMOSPHERE 

The electric boiler should not be located near an 
air  supply  containing  halogenated  hydrocarbons 
or  high  humidity.  The  limited  warranty  is  voided 
when  failure  of  the  water  heater  is  due  to  a 
corrosive atmosphere. 

 
2.3 SHIPMENT INSPECTION 

Inspect  the  electric  boiler  for  possible  shipping 
damage.  The  manufacturer’s  responsibility 
ceases  upon  delivery  of  goods  to  the  carrier  in 
good  condition.  Consignee  must  file  any  claims 
for  damage,  shortage  in  shipments,  or  non-
delivery immediately against carrier. 

 

2.4 TO VERIFY  

Please  check  the  boiler  identification  plate  to 
ensure you have the right model. 

The following items are factory  installed and 
shipped with the unit: 

 

207 kPa (30 psi) tank pressure relief 
valve. 

 

Tank drain valve 

 

Thermo manometer (heat and 
pressure indicator). 

 

Automatic air vent. 

 

Electric heating elements 

 

ULTRA 

SMART™ controller. 

 

 
 
The ECO ULTRA electric boiler should not be 
located in an area where leakage from the tank 
or water connections will result in damage to 
the  adjacent  area  or  to  lower  floors  of  the 
structure.  When  such  areas  cannot  be 
avoided,  a  suitable  drain  pan  or  non-
flammable  catch  pan,  adequately  drained, 
must  be  installed  under  the  boiler.  The  pan 
must be connected to a drain.
