Water Quality—If the water supply contains sand, sulfur, bacteria, iron bacteria, tannins, algae, oil, acid, or other unusual substances, consider pre-treating the water to remove these contaminants before the water supply enters the appliance, unless the appliance is represented as being capable of treating these contaminants in its specifications.
  • Page 9: Precautions

    Precautions Comply with all state and local, building, plumbing, and electrical codes. Install the appliance before the water heater. Install the appliance after the pressure tank on well-water installations. Install a pressure-reducing valve if the inlet pressure exceeds 70 psi. Install a gravity drain on the cabinets.
  • Page 10: Installation Steps And Start-Up Procedures

    Installation Steps and Start-Up Procedures Prepare the Placement Area Step 1 Make sure the placement area is clean. Turn off the electricity and water supply to the water heater. For gas water heaters, turn the gas cock to “Pilot.” Examine the inlet plumbing to ensure that the pipe is not plugged with lime, iron, or any other substance.

    Blending Valve In some situations, the blending valve may be used to decrease water softness. The amount of hardness blended back into the water line is determined by the hardness of the incoming water and the setting of the blending valve. Where extremely hard water is present, the blending valve may only need to be “cracked” open. Where the incoming water has relatively low levels of hardness, the blending valve will need to be opened further.
