STRAINERS
All SmartPlate EV Water Heater models utilize a combination strainer and ball valve on the
boiler side, and a strainer on the DHW side to prevent fouling of the heat exchanger by trapping
foreign material before it enters the unit.
NOTE:
If normal maintenance does not clear the Water Heater flow path, it will be necessary to remove
and manually clean the screens in the Boiler Water and DHW piping as follows:
a) Remove Strainer end cap and remove screen.
b) Hose and wash off screen.
c) Reinstall screen and replace Strainer end cap.
