The lifespan of an HTP Phoenix Series model PH160-119 water heater depends on its warranty coverage.

- For residential use, the tank is covered for seven (7) years, and parts are covered for one (1) year.
- For commercial use, the tank is covered for three (3) years, and parts are covered for one (1) year.

While the warranty does not define the exact lifespan, proper installation, maintenance, and operating conditions can extend the unit's longevity beyond the warranty period.

    Ensure that the intake air will not contain any of the contaminants below. Contaminated air will damage the heater, resulting in possible substantial property damage, severe personal injury, or death. For example, do not pipe intake near a swimming pool. Also, avoid areas subject to exhaust fumes from laundry facilities.

  • Page 13: Water Chemistry

    Chemical imbalance of the water supply may affect efficiency and cause severe damage to the water heater and associated equipment. HTP recommends having water quality professionally analyzed to determine whether it is necessary to install a water softener. It is important that the water chemistry on both the domestic hot water and central heating sides are checked before installing the water heater, as water quality will affect the reliability of the system.
