SAFETY
• DO NOT attempt to  nd the cause yourself.
• DO NOT try to light the water heater.
• DO NOT touch any electrical switch.
ADDITIONAL WARNINGS!
Liquid propane has an odorant added to aid in detecting a gas leak. Some people may not
physically be able to smell or recognize this odorant. If you are unsure or unfamiliar with the
smell of liquid propane, ask the gas supplier.
Other conditions, such as “odorant fade”, which causes the odorant to diminish in intensity, can
also hide or camou age a gas leak. Always check with commercial leak detector or soapy water.
• Gas detectors are recommended in liquid propane applications and their installation
should be in accordance with the detector manufacturer’s recommendations and/or local
laws, rules and regulations.
• Water heaters utilizing liquid propane gas are di erent from natural gas models. A
natural gas water heater will not function safely on liquid propane gas and vice versa.
• No attempt should ever be made to convert the tankless water heater from liquid
propane to natural gas. To avoid possible equipment damage, personal injury or  re, do
not connect the water heater to a fuel type not in accordance with the portable tankless
water heater data plate: propane for propane portable tankless water heaters and natural
gas for natural gas portable tankless water heaters. These portable tankless water heaters
are not certi ed for any other fuel type.
• Liquid propane gas must be used with great caution. It is heavier than air and will collect
 rst in lower areas making it hard to detect at nose level.
• Before attempting to light the water heater, make sure to look and smell for gas leaks.
Use a soapy solution to check all gas  ttings and connections. Bubbling at a connection
indicates a leak that must be corrected. When smelling to detect a gas leak, be sure to
sni near the  oor also.
• It is recommended that more than one method, such as soapy solution, gas detectors,
etc., be used to detect leaks in gas applications.
1. Do not leave unattended.
2. The exhaust gas and top of the portable tankless water heater is HOT! Do not place
hands or any foreign object near the top of the heater.
3. Do not use in high wind conditions.
4. If the smell of gas is detected, turn o the gas valve at the tank immediately! Do not use
 ame for leak detection.
5. Use only liquid propane.
6. Use only outdoors.
7. Do not over tighten the gas regulator connection to the portable tankless water heater
with a wrench. This may cause a crack in the gas regulator.

Pipe
WARNING: Never use an open ame to test for gas leaks, as property damage, personal
injury, or death could result.
The tankless water heater and its gas connections must be leak tested at normal operating
pressures before it is placed in operation.
• Turn on the gas to the tankless water heater from the recommended gas cylinder.
• Use a commercial leak detector or soapy water solution to test for leaks at all connections
and ttings.
• Bubbles indicate a gas leak that must be corrected.
The factory connections should also be leak tested after the tankless water heater is placed in
operation cause water damage which may or may not be reparable. Please check the warranty
information found on our website at www.eccotemp.com for more information on freezing issues.
Leak Testing
Pressure Relief Valve
A new pressure relief valve, complying with the standard for pressure relief valves and automatic
gas shut-o Devices for Hot Water Supply Systems, ANSI Z21.22, must be installed at the hot water
outlet connection of the tankless water heater at the time of installation. Local codes shall govern the
installation of pressure relief valves.
The diagram below illustrates a pressure only relief valve. If local codes require a combination
and pressure relief valve be installed, an extension piece may be required.
For safe operation of the water heater, be sure that:
• The pressure rating of the pressure relief valve must not
exceed 150 psi, the maximum working pressure of the
tankless water heater as marked on the rating plate.
• The BTUH rating of the pressure relief valve must equal
or exceed the BTUH input of the tankless water heater as
marked on its rating plate.
• No valve of any type should be installed between the
pressure relief valve and the water heater.
• The discharge line must be NO SMALLER than the
outlet of the valve and must pitch downward to allow
complete drainage (by gravity) of the pressure relief
valve and discharge line.
• The end of the discharge line should not be threaded or
concealed. No valve of any type, restriction or reducer
coupling should be installed in discharge line.
This water heater is for OUTDOOR installation ONLY. It must
NOT be installed indoors or in a conned space.
An air supply containing halogenated hydrocarbons may
be safe to breathe, but when it passes through a gas ame
corrosive elements are released that will shorten the life of
any gas burning appliance.
Propellants from common spray cans or gas leaks from
A/C and refrigeration equipment are highly corrosive after
passing through a ame and therefore should never be
used around the water heater.
The tankless water heater warranty is voided when failure of
the heater is due to operation in a corrosive atmosphere.
Combustion and Ventilation Air
Warning!
Gasoline, as well as other ammable
materials and liquids (adhesives, solvents,

DO NOT handle, use or store gasoline
or other ammable or combustible
materials anywhere near or in the vicinity
of a water heater or any other appliance.
Be sure to read and follow the labels on
the water heater, as well as the warnings
printed in this manual. Failure to do so
can result in property damage, bodily
injury or death.

Flushing your Water Heater
ECCOTEMP
DESCALER
When properly maintained, your water heater will provide years of dependable trouble-free service. It is
recommended that a periodic inspection of the burner, water screen and top exhaust should be made by
service personnel quali ed in gas appliance repair.
It is suggested that a routine preventive maintenance program be established and followed by the user.
Inspect the area around the tankless water heater to ensure a safe operating environment. Keep water heater
area clear and free from combustible materials, gasoline, and other  ammable vapors and liquids. Ensure the
tankless water heater has not been damaged. If damage or denting is present, contact a service personnel to
verify proper operation.
Check for any abnormal sounds during normal operation of the water heater.
All piping should be checked for gas and/or water leaks. Refer to page 4 of this manual for instructions on leak
testing.
The air intake and cold water supply screen should be cleaned monthly. Refer to the “Housekeeping” section
for further information.
DO NOT operate the tankless water heater if you feel something is wrong with the unit.
DO NOT allow children to operate or otherwise handle the unit.
DANGER: Before disconnecting the water supply, make certain no one will be exposed to the danger
of the hot water released by disconnecting. The water may be hot enough to create a scald hazard.
The water should be released into a suitable drain to prevent injury or property damage.
DANGER: Hotter water increases the potential for hot water scalds.
DANGER: Failure to perform the recommended routine preventative maintenance can harm the
proper operation of this water heater, which can cause carbon monoxide dangers, excessive hot water
temperatures and other potentially hazardous conditions.
It is highly recommended that you clean your Eccotemp
portable tankless water heater after every other use or
every 3 months to ensure your water heater is running
as e ciently as possible. Exposure to un ltered water
can increase your chances of water scale, lime or rust
deposit buildup.
To do this we recommend that you use our Eccotemp
EZ-Flush Descaler System to  ush out any unwanted
build-up and sediment. For more information and to
purchase please visit us at www.eccotemp.com or call

Portable tankless water heater will not start – there are no audible clicks at startup:
1. The  rst thing to check is to ensure that the incoming water is connected to the “right” connection side
of the portable tankless water heater. If the incoming and outgoing connections are reversed, the portable
tankless water heater will not work. The incoming is on the far right and the outgoing water connection is in
the middle.
2. The “On/O ” switch should be with the “-“ sign pushed down.
3. Check to make sure you have fresh batteries and they are installed in the correct position.
4. Make sure that you have a minimum of 25 PSI of sustained water pressure. Number one reason that the
portable tankless water heater does not ignite is that there is not enough water pressure.
5. Check to ensure that no wires have disconnected inside the portable tankless water heater during shipping.
Make sure the gas is OFF and the “On/O ” switch is in the OFF position. The front cover is held on 8 screws:
2 on top holding on the black vent screen, 2 on the upper/back of the rain cap, 2 on the bottom, and 2 inside
the top under the rain cap. The knobs pull o . All the wiring is done with push together plastic connectors.
They are all visible without further dismantling of the portable tankless water heater. It should be obvious
when a wire has become disconnected.
NOTE: Call technical support at 866.356.1992 if unsure how to remove the front cover.
6. It is possible that some debris or epoxy might have entered the water regulator. Check to see if the  lter
screen on the water inlet is clear of debris. You can also reverse the hookup by taking your water source and
hooking it up to the water outlet side and back  ushing the system to ensure there is no blockage.
7. If you’ve checked everything and the water heater still continues to not ignite, you can try a water pressure
adjustment as follows: Looking up at the bottom of the portable tankless water heater, you will see 2 oval
holes in the case. The hole that is the furthest on the right looks up at the water regulator where you will see
two Phillips head screws. Take the screw that is furthest on the right in about a ¼ or ½ turn. This will enable
the portable tankless water heater to operate on a lower water pressure by restricting  ow.
8. There is a simple test that we can help you perform if you are unaware if you have enough water pressure.
Please visit the Eccotemp helpdesk at support.eccotemp.com or contact us via email at
9. Propane gas cylinders sometimes are contaminated with air, especially new tanks upon their  rst  lling.
Cycle the portable tankless water heater on and o by using the shower head switch several times (5) to purge
the air from the gas.

Troubleshooting Continued...
Portable tankless water heater will not start – but there are audible clicks at startup:
1. The portable tankless water heater requires a minimum of about .75 GPM and a minimum of about 25 PSI.
Note: water pressure is at the lower end of operating parameters. You will need a sustained water pressure of
approximately 25 – 60 PSI for adequate use if you are using a 12/18/120 volt pump. See adjustment in previous
section.
2. High Wind: for safety reasons the tankless heater will not start in sustained wind. Find an alternate location for
the tankless water heater.
3. Out of, or low on gas. Propane gas cylinders sometimes are contaminated with air. Especially new tanks upon
their rst lling. Cycle the portable tankless water heater on and o by using the shower head switch several times
(5) to purge the air from the gas.
4. One of the ignition sensors is bent and/or too close to the burner. Look to ensure that the ignition pins and the
heat sensor are completely vertical and they do a 90 degree to the back of the box. If they are not straight (i.e. a 45
degree angle) then you can straighten them with pliers. Please visit support.eccotemp.com or call 1-866-356-1992
for assistance with this matter.
5. The gas sensor wire might have come loose or is no longer connected. Please visit support.eccotemp.com or call
1-866-356-1992 for assistance with this matter.
The water does not get hot enough:
1. Ensure you are not operating the portable tankless water heater above 2,000 feet. While it has been eld tested
up to 2,000 feet, we only recommend using it below 2,000 feet. For every 1,000 feet above the recommended
2,000 feet, you will see a 10% decrease in eciency and performance.
2. Be sure you have your gas knob turned to max and your water knob turned a little lower towards min. The less
water moving through the water heater will allow for a higher temperature.
Please note: Your incoming water temperature will play a major role in the achievable temperatures your water
heater can reach. The colder the incoming water is, the lower the achievable temperature will be. You’ll need to
adjust your hot and cold knobs to help counteract the colder incoming water. Variable factors such as incorrect or
imperfect installations and varying incoming water temperatures may yield dierent results.
3. Look into the viewer panes (3 small windows on the front cover) to see if there is a blue ame. If the ame is
yellow there could be a cracked gas regulator. DO NOT ATTEMPT to use the portable tankless water heater if a
cracked gas regulator is suspected. Visit support.eccotemp.com or call 1-866-356-1992 for assistance with this
matter.
Water is flowing, but there is no hot water coming out:
1. Ensure that you have the incoming water supply and the outgoing water supply hooked up properly. Your water
supply should be attached to your incoming connection (located on the far right) and the shower head should be
attached to the outgoing water connection (located as the center connection).
2. Ensure that you have adequate water pressure of at least 25 PSI sustained.
3. Ensure that you have adequate gas in your propane bottle and that the LP regulator is threaded all of the way
onto the portable tankless water heater.
4. Fresh batteries are required for ignition spark. Make sure batteries are aligned in the proper polarity (+/-): at
negative of battery toward the spring side of battery compartment.
The portable tankless water heater will not stay on:
1. The portable tankless water heater requires a minimum of about .75 GPM and a minimum of about 20 PSI to
activate and approximately 25 sustained PSI to continue to operate. Consider your water source: Are you using a
pump to draw water from a source? Be sure the pump you are using provides adequate sustained water pressure
to activate and keep the water heater running.
2. Check that your batteries are fresh and aligned with the proper polarity (+/-): at negative of battery toward the
spring side of the battery compartment.
