If this water heater will be installed in an application where the supply water is hard, the water must

be treated with either the Noritz H2Flow or ScaleShield or a water softener. Refer to the below tables

for suggested treatment and maintenance measures to be taken based on the water hardness level.

Damage to the water heater as a result of water in excess of 12 gpg (200 mg/L) of hardness is not

covered by the Noritz America Limited Warranty.

Note: Water softeners may be regulated by the local water jurisdiction, consult with the manufacturer

for code, sizing, and installation guidelines; the below diagram is for reference only. For more

information about H2Flow and ScaleShield, contact Noritz America at 866-766-7489.
