To maximize the benefits of the hot water generator a minimum
50-gallon water heater is recommended For higher demand
applications, use an 80-gallon water heater or two 50-gallon water
heaters connected in a series as shown below. Two tanks plumbed
in a series is recommended to maximize the hot water generator
capability. Electric water heaters are recommended. Make sure
all local electrical and plumbing codes are met for installing a
hot water generator. Residential units with hot water generators
contain an internal circulator and fittings. A water softener is
recommended with hard water (greater than 10 grains or 170 total
hardness).
NOTES: 1) Using a preheat tank, as shown in Figure 12, will
maximize hot water generator capabilities. 2) The hot water
generator coil is constructed of vented double wall copper suitable
for potable water.

Water Tank Preparation
To install a unit with a hot water generator, follow these installation
guidelines.
1. Turn off the power to the water heater.
2. Attach a water hose to the water tank drain
connection and run the other end of the hose to an
open drain or outdoors.
3. Close the cold water inlet valve to the water heater tank.
4. Drain the tank by opening the valve on the bottom of the tank,
then open the pressure relief valve or hot water faucet.
5. Flush the tank by opening the cold water inlet valve to the water
heater to free the tank of sediments. Close when draining water
is clear.
6. Disconnect the garden hose and remove the drain valve from
the water heater.
7. Refer to Plumbing Installation and Hot Water
Generator Startup.
NOTE: This configuration maximizes hot water
generator capability.
