GEYSER 6000–3.0™ Overview The Geyser 6000–3.0 from North Road Technologies is a Heat Pump Water Heater that makes use of a renewable energy source – the heat in the air in your basement, garage or utility room – to heat your water. By using this renewable energy source, you significantly reduce the use of electricity, oil, gas, or propane, which means lower costs, fewer emissions, smaller carbon footprint, and a safer and healthier environment for you and your family. This is a simple step that anyone can take to help the environment and reduce our demands on fossil fuels. The GEYSER 6000–3.0™ Heat Pump Water Heater is an energy-saving appliance that heats water using heat and moisture from the surrounding air. It uses modern refrigeration technology to upgrade and transfer this heat to water stored in a standard electric water heater tank. The electric water heater should have operational thermostats and elements. The tank provides hot water storage; the GEYSER 6000–3.0 thermostats control the GEYSER 6000–3.0™ operation and the tank elements are only used for back-up heating/quick recovery. The GEYSER 6000–3.0™ cycles on when the thermostat calls for water heating. Ambient air cooling and dehumidification are produced as water is heated. The cooling and dehumidification effects are dependent on the run time of the GEYSER 6000–3.0™; the more hot water used, the more run time, the more cooling and dehumidification. Technical Specifications Features: • Highly efficient safe and reliable. • Significant energy savings over conventional heating sources. • Fail safe design ensures hot water at all times. •... -
Page 6: System Requirements
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS The GEYSER 6000–3.0™ can only be placed in dry/covered location, in areas where the temp will not fall below 40°F. (4.5°C.). If using the unit in an attic, garage or basement, the unit can be installed without any additional equipment. However, if your water heater is in a space with less than ,500 cubic feet (4.5 cubic meters), consider ordering longer hoses to locate GEYSER 6000–3.0 in a suitable location. - Page 7 Plumbing Connection Kit Quantity Item # Description 4” Brass Nipple “T” Connector Threaded valves Nipple with plastic water in-feed tube 6’ connection hose 6’ lengths of Insultube insulation for hoses roll thread seal tape 6’ condensate tube Red wire nut large strain relief “UR”...

Page 8: Section -Location
SECTION 2—LOCATION •The GEYSER 6000–3.0™ can be set on the floor, or on wood or concrete blocks. Care should be exercised when mounting the GEYSER 6000–3.0™ that vibration and noise are not transmitted to other areas. Always consider the air discharge direction in selecting a location;... - Page 9 Locate drain valve at bottom of tank. [Note that the tank flushing process is intended to remove all sediment from inside the tank. Sediment may be so severe that simple removal is not possible. Severe sediment accumulation will reduce the life expectancy of the tank, even without the GEYSER 6000–3.0™ installation. Sediment is mainly minerals that have precipitated out of the water as happens when water boils on the heating elements.
- Page 10 Now, follow these steps to connect the temperature sensor to the 4” brass water tank connector (nipple) cables. After the nipple, (Item 0) is properly installed on the tank, make a connection between the thermistor leads and the GEYSER leads. Insert one of the thermistor leads and one of the Geyser leads into the connector, as shown on the photo.
- Page 11 Then apply thread seal tape to both ends of the brass fitting with the plastic water in-feed tube (Item 05), and insert/screw the fitting into the front end of the ‘‘T”, and tighten snugly. Make sure plastic slides in freely, without obstructions in the tank.
- Page 12 Now, apply thread seal tape to, and install the second valve, (item 04), onto the second “T” fitting. Make sure that all valves are closed tightly, and open the tank fill valve. Check for any leaks in the piping and fittings you have just installed. Re-tighten any assembly as needed.

SECTION 4—ELECTRICAL The Electrical Connection Kit consists of: () wire nut () cord/strain relief mechanism, attached to Geyser ower eySer omPleTely urned IrCuIT reaker efore eGInnInG leCTrICal Remove the hand-hole cover from the water tank. These may be held in place with screws, or there may be a press fit depending on the make and model of your water heater. - Page 14 Find the electrical cord unit that is pre-assembled with the strain-relief mechanism on the exposed end. Insert the cord through the hole just drilled in the cover. Screw the retaining ring onto the back side of the cover, hand tight. This will hold the cord in place on the cover. The Geyser has two leads exposed in the electrical cord.
- Page 15 Wire tie the bare lead from the Geyser to the lead just removed from the tank, using the wire nut that comes with the Geyser. Electrical tape must be used to seal this connection. Take the second wire from the Geyser (the one with the terminal connector) and connect it to the terminal where you just removed the lead from the tank.

An alternative plumbing connection that would work is to put a “T” in the cold water supply to the water heater, and connect the branch of the “T” to the GEYSER 6000–3.0™ outlet. Connect the GEYSER 6000–3.0™ outlet to a “T” at the drain. - Page 17 Temperature Setting: The default setting for the thermostat/temperature setting is 0°F. (49°C.), in accordance with the Department of Energy Guidelines. Please note that the GEYSER 6000-3.0 will heat the water up to 40° F (60° C), and this setting can be changed internally. The lever to adjust the temperature setting is located inside the electric box within the Geyser.
