5. Plumbing Requirements and Precautions
• Please follow all plumbing instructions carefully. This product must be installed in accordance
with all national, state, provincial, and local plumbing codes. We recommend consulting with
your municipality or a qualied plumber if you have questions relating to plumbing codes for
your area prior to installing.
• The plumbing installation must be completed before the electrical installation.
• DO NOT solder any pipe with the unit connected to the pipe. The
heat from soldering may cause damage to the ow sensor. Doing so
will void the warranty.
• The use of a temperature pressure relief valve (T&P) is not required for
most installations because the tankless water heater does not use a
storage tank. UL Standard 499 does not require that a pressure relief
valve is used, although it may be needed to meet installation codes in
your area. In such cases, the pressure relief valve should be installed
in accordance with local codes. It is important to ensure that the unit
is operating correctly, and that air is purged from the valve prior to
installing the water heater.
• A T&P valve is recommended for added safety when connecting to plumbing rated Metal,
Flex or High-Temperature CPVC piping.
NOTE: A pressure relief valve is required for installations in the Commonwealth of
Massachusetts and State of Kentucky. Please check your local installation codes
for any special requirements.
• The plumbing installation requires piping that can withstand pressure up to 8 BAR.
• The maximum operating water pressure for this unit is 150PSI / 10 BAR. Residential plumbing
systems with unstable pressure or pressure above 5 BAR require the application of a pressure
reduction valve set to 4-5 BAR for optimal performance.
• The water supply ow rate must be at least 0.5 Gallons per Minute (GPM) to ensure proper
operation.
• Flexible water hoses are recommended to be used with your water heater when installing
your water heater. When connecting the inlet water pipe to the unit, use a wrench to hold the
unit’s connection, and another wrench to tighten so that the ow sensor on the unit will not
be loosened or damaged. Do not over-tighten the water inlet and outlet connections to avoid
severe internal damage to the water heater.

EN
• We recommend the installation of a manual shut-o valve (ball valve) on the inlet and outlet
of the water heater to create a convenient shut-o point if future maintenance or servicing
is required. Before connecting the pipes to the water heater, it is highly essential to ush
the lines to eliminate all the plumbing paste or residue in the lines caused by any welding or
soldering.
• All the water pipes within 3 feet (1 meter) of the inlet and outlet connections are recommended
to be rated for high-temperature applications with 150°F (66°C) minimum.
• Before proceeding to the electrical installation, run water through the unit for several minutes
to ush out any air bubbles from the water line.
6. Plumbing Installation
STEP 1: Thoroughly ush cold supply line of debris.
STEP 2: Connect the HOT WATER line to the water heater OUTLET. The water heater outlet can
be seen on the left side of the heater when facing the unit. Connect the COLD-WATER line to the
water heater marked COLD WATER INLET which is located on the right side when facing the unit.
* Pre-heated water can be connected to the cold water inlet, where this unit will act as a booster.
STEP 3: After tightening both ttings at the water heater, several hot water faucets should be
opened to allow the ow of water through the water heater for at least 2 to 3 minutes. This process
purges all the air from the water lines and MUST be performed before turning on the power at the
unit.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS STEP MIGHT CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATING
ELEMENTS. (The power to the heater should be turned o and the air purged out of the lines
before turning the power on anytime maintenance is performed on the water heater or the homes
plumbing system, as air might have been introduced into the plumbing pipes.)
STEP 4: Carefully inspect all connections, units, and the pressure relief device for leaks after the
plumbing installation is completed. If there are no leaks present, you can proceed to the electrical
installation.
CAUTION: If you detect a water leak from the water heater at this point, turn o the water
supply at the shut o valve on the unit’s incoming water supply and contact us at 1-844-746-6688.

the U.S. National Electrical Code (NEC) in the USA or the Canadian Electrical Code (CEC) in
Canada. Failure to do so could lead to property damage, personal injury, and void your warranty.
Note: The Canadian Electrical Code generally requires that all supply wires and corresponding
circuit protection used for domestic hot water heating and hydronic heating applications be sized
to a minimum of 125% of the maximum current rating of the heater (check heater specication
details below).
Before installing this tankless water heater, ensure that sucient electrical power is available
in the home to handle the maximum amperage load of the applicable heater.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
7kW and 11kW heater requires 1 set of wire and ground (see wiring diagram on page 11)

10. Operation Guide
Operating your new tankless water heater is similar to using any traditional water heating system.
However, it is essential that you carefully read all setup procedures, operating instructions and
tips to ensure the maximum performance and energy savings from your new water heater. We
recommend that all members of the household read these General Operating Instructions.
This electric water heater is designed to supply hot water. The unit contains heating elements within,
capable of heating water quickly on-demand for as long as you need it. Unlike a conventional tank
storage water heater, this unit is a tankless water heater that does not store hot water. However,
once you begin using the system, you will understand it works like a conventional tank system.
Tankless system delivers hot water instantaneously on demand. Since a tankless system does not
waste energy continually when heating water, i.e. idly sitting and losing heat in a storage tank, it
provides signicant energy savings than a conventional water heater.
With your new system, as soon as you turn on the hot water faucet, the demand for hot water is
detected by a ow sensor, and the high-power heating elements are activated. Sensors continually
monitor the water ow rate and measured the incoming and outgoing water temperature. Data is
transmitted to the system logic controls, which determines the exact amount of power required by
heating elements to heat the water to your desired temperature.
It is essential to keep in mind that all tankless water heaters are subject to a maximum ow rate. If
this ow rate is exceeded, the heater will not be capable of suciently heating water.
Also keep in mind that conventional tank heaters are set to high temperatures to prevent running
out of hot water quickly, and thus a large amount of cold water needs to be mixed in to reach a
comfortable level for washing and showering. Since this unit heats water on demand, it is designed
to heat to a lower temperature. This means you only need to mix in a small amount of cold water
or none at all.
Your hot water supply may also be aected by the incoming water temperatures as the season
diers. During winter, if the incoming water temperature is frigid, you might not be able to run
multiple hot water outlets at the same time as compared to the summer. However, you can run
showers back-to-back without having to wait for the water to heat.
Water Quality: One of the things which should be taken into consideration when installing and
maintaining the water heater is the quality of water. Water conditions outside the recommended
levels outlined below are not permitted and can damage the water heater. We reserve the right to

13
EN
deny any warranty claim regarding damage suered due to use in water conditions that are not
in accordance with the table below. The water must be treated, and the heater ushed regularly
when this product is installed in an area that is known to have hard water that causes scale build-
up to prevent damage to the heat exchanger and heating elements. We recommend that a water
treatment device or water softener should be installed to maintain optimal performance of the
water heater in hard water areas.

11. Care and Maintenance
To ensure maximum performance of your water heater and to reduce the risk of a water leak, we
recommend the following maintenance:
• The water heater has minimally required maintenance procedures. Periodic inspections and
tests are always recommended for signs of damage or failure. Any damage, cracks, leakage
or weakness should be addressed and xed immediately. Do not over tighten any of the
connections. Over tightening the connection points could cause severe internal damage to
the unit.
• Remember that water heated at higher temperatures produces scale buildup much faster
than at lower temperatures. Having manual shut-o/maintenance valves installed on the inlet
and outlet of the water heater will allow access to ush the unit with a descaling solution. We
recommend routine maintenance once a year or once every six months if the water supply
has an unusually high level of mineralization (hard water)
• Clean the pre-lter on the inlet water side once every six months. Wash lightly to remove any
debris.
When any form of maintenance is carried out on the water heater or the home’s plumbing system
that may introduce air into the plumbing pipes, it is crucial to power o the water heater and purge
the air out of the lines before allowing the unit to power up.
FAILURE TO DO SO COULD RESULT IN PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATING ELEMENT
AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
When air is introduced into the plumbing system, follow the steps below to ensure the unit can
safely resume operation.
1.Shut o all power connections to the unit at the circuit breaker on the main electrical panel.
2.Perform the maintenance or servicing tasks.
3.Open one or more hot water faucets and allow water to run through the unit for several

14
EN
minutes to purge any air from the heater and water lines.
This step must be performed before turning on power to the heater. Failure to complete
this step may cause permanent damage to the heating elements.
4.Reconnect power to the unit at the circuit breaker on the main electrical panel. Press and
switch the ON position.
5.With the water running through the unit, check and reset the temperature if necessary. The
recommended temperature setting is 118°F (48°C).

too low. Increase the temperature setting on the unit.
Water pressure is less
than 0.5 BAR (7 psi). Make sure the shuto valve is fully open, and the water supply line is not blocked.
Mixing too much cold
water You do not need to mix as much cold water with your tankless water heater compared to when you use a
conventional water heater. You may also have an anti-
scald feature on your faucet that is mixing cold water.
These types of faucets can usually be adjusted to reduce
the amount of cold water mixed.
Thermal loss due to
long pipe run. As the hot water from the heater runs through the hot water delivery system to your faucet, some heat will be
lost especially if it has long distance to travel or the pipes
are cold. This is normal. You can compensate for this by
increasing the setting on your water heater if you need/
want hotter water.

LIMITED WARRANTY
For service, repair or any questions regarding your water heater, call the appropriate 800 number
listed within this section. Please DO NOT return the product to the place of purchase. Also, DO
NOT mail the product back to the manufacturer, nor bring it to a service center without proper
instructions and permission from one of our representatives.
The terms of this warranty are solely subject to the original owner and are at no time transferable. A
transfer of ownership will result in immediate termination of this warranty. This warranty is valid only
if the product is purchased from an authorized reseller that has an established direct relationship
with the manufacturer.
The manufacturer warrants to the original owner that our instant water heaters will be free from
defect in workmanship and material for TWO YEARS from the date of purchase, and free from
leakage for SEVEN YEARS from the date of purchase. Should any part(s) prove to be defective
during this period, the manufacturer will only be responsible for a replacement water heater or
replacement of the defective part(s). The manufacturer is not responsible for labor charges or any
incidental or consequential expenses. If a replacement water heater or part is not available, the
manufacturer’s liability is limited to the cost of the water heater or $1,000.00, whichever is less.
The manufacturer is not an insurer, and the original owner should purchase insurance to cover
damage to property or belongings. The original owner agrees to waive their right to jury trial or to
participate in a class action. Also, the original owner agrees to waive subordination to the extent a
loss is covered by insurance, so that their insurance company cannot proceed with action against
the manufacturer for recovery of any claims. Furthermore, all requests must be arbitrated in the
state of New Jersey.
Should the owner wish to return the water heater for repair, the owner must rst secure written
authorization from the manufacturer. The owner shall be required to show proof of purchase date
and to pay all transportation costs to return the defective part(s) or water heater for repair or
replacement. Warranty is void if: (i) water heater has been installed or used improperly; (ii) design
has been altered in any way; (iii) water heater has been installed and/or serviced by someone other
than a licensed electrician; (iv) or if the water heater has been installed or used in contradiction to
installation instructions, applicable laws and/or ordinances.
