Wire Gauge Information:
Because all Aqua-Hot heating systems are designed to operate only when there is an adequate supply of DC
(Direct Current) voltage, it is imperative that the proper wire gauge be determined and used for the DC power
supply and ground wires. This section addresses how to determine the DC amperage draw of the heating
system, including heat exchangers, and how to determine the proper wire gauge based upon those fi ndings
for a specifi c application.
On the Front Side of the Aqua-Hot:
1. Review the chart above for the amperage draw of the Aqua-Hot heater
2. Determine the number of heat exchangers installed with the heating system.
3. Consult the heat exchanger's manufacturer for amp-draw information
NOTE: Each Aqua-Hot Cozy heat exchanger draws 0.23 amps of direct current.
Each Aqua-Hot Whisper heat exchanger draws 0.38 amps of direct current.
4. Determine the total amperage draw for all heat exchangers installed.
• For example, if six Aqua-Hot Cozy heat exchangers have been installed, multiply the
5. Add the total heat exchanger amperage draw to the amperage of the installed Aqua-Hot.
• For example, an Aqua-Hot 400P with six Cozy heat exchangers has a total amperage draw
