WATER SUPPLIES This water heater must be installed in accordance with this advice to be covered by the warranty. This water heater is manufactured to suit the water conditions of most public reticulated water supplies. However, there are some known water chemistries which can have detrimental effects on the water heater and its operation and / or life expectancy. - Page 10 WATER SUPPLIES CAUTION If the water supply has a TDS greater than 150 mg/L and a green anode has not been changed to a black anode, or if the TDS is greater than 600 mg/L and the anode has not been changed to a blue anode, there is the possibility the anode may become overactive and hydrogen gas could accumulate in the top of the water heater during long periods of no use.

In New Zealand, the installation must conform with Clause G12 of the New Zealand Building Code. The 551 310 model heat pump water heater is recommended for connection to a minimum 16 hour per day power supply. - Page 15 INSTALLATION It is recommended the heat pump water heater be installed at ground or floor level and must stand vertically upright, supported by a level slab or solid base. The base of the water heater is made of corrosion resistant material, and it may be placed directly in contact with the supporting surface.
- Page 16 INSTALLATION HOT WATER DELIVERY This water heater can deliver water at temperatures which can cause scalding. It is necessary and we recommend that a temperature limiting device be fitted between the water heater and the hot water outlets in any ablution area such as a bathroom or ensuite, to reduce the risk of scalding. The installing plumber may have a legal obligation to ensure the installation of this water heater meets the delivery water temperature requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4 so that scalding water temperatures are not delivered to a bathroom, ensuite or other ablution area.
- Page 17 INSTALLATION CIRCULATED HOT WATER FLOW AND RETURN SYSTEM A 551 310 model heat pump water heater should not be installed as part of a circulated hot water flow and return system in a building. If a circulated flow and return system is required, it is necessary to bypass the heat pump water heater and install a secondary water heater connected to the hot water flow and return line and supplied from the heat pump water heater.
- Page 18 INSTALLATION REDUCING HEAT LOSSES The cold water line to and the hot water line from the water heater must be insulated in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS 3500.4. The insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed. ANODE TYPES The vitreous enamel lined cylinder of the water heater is only covered by warranty when the total dissolved solids (TDS) content in the water is less than 2500 mg/L and when the correct colour coded anode is installed.
