SECTION I - GENERAL DESCRIPTION AND CONSTRUCTION GENERAL DESCRIPTION This book describes a packaged electric water heater designed for use in deionized (DI) or reverse osmosis (RO) water applications. The complete assembly consists of the storage tank, immersion electric heating element(s), electronic control module, safety relief valve, magnetic contactor(s), and any other required electrical operating control.
Page 7
CONSTRUCTION TANK The storage tank is designed, manufactured, and stamped in accordance with ASME Section VIII Division 1. The tank is constructed of type 316L stainless steel and fabricated by all welded construction and is designed for a maximum allowable working pressure of 150 psi (225 psi test pressure).
OPTIONAL EQUIPMENT Slide Brackets Available for the HD6 Model only, these brackets allow for mounting the water heater under a counter. See slide bracket diagram on page 9 for details. Legs In lieu of the standard black plastic legs, optional adjustable legs are available in stainless steel, die-cast nickel plated, and floor mount stainless steel.

5. To reset any high-limit, no probe, or low water (when in manual reset mode) fault condition, press the RESET button. 6. Display a. By default the display will show the setpoint of the heater. b. The decimal points on the display, as shown below, indicate that the controller is calling for a contactor to pull in.
i. Place limed ends of the heating element in a de-limer solution, designed for potable water applications, and allow lime to dissolve. Do not allow de-limer to contact heating element terminals. g. Other scale removal i. Silicates, sulfates, and aluminates must be removed by scraping or other mechanical means.

LOW WATER CUT-OUT 1. Due to the low resistivity of DI/RO water, a 316L stainless steel float type low water cut- out is supplied in lieu of a conductivity type. This device will help protect the elements from energizing when there is insufficient water in the tank. The float type low water cut- out will disengage the control circuit during low/no water conditions and will auto-reset when the water reaches a safe level.
