data sheet for the products weight.
6) Please select a suitable location for the exhaust air vent to the outside. Always
insulate the exhaust air ducting to avoid condensation when operational.
7) Please ensure there is access to the removal front panel for maintenance.
8) Always allow extra room for pipe connections and power cables.
9) Always refrain from installing on a surface with loose coverings as the product
may make a vibrating noise when operating.

2. Water Pipe Installation Instructions
1) Please don’t use iron pipe connect to heat pump, please use CPVC pipe, PPR pipe
or PB pipe;
2) Please according to the drawing shows to install the water pipes, connectors etc.,
if the ambient temp. is below 0 ℃, proper insulation must be taken.
3) Water inlet/outlet size is G3/4’’, external thread;
4) The water pipe’s work life should not less than heat pump’s work life;
5) Relief valve is G1/2’’, 0.8 MPa, after installation, must sure that the drainage pipe
which connect with the relief valve, is not blocked;
HI-WATER R290

Heat Pump Water Heater
- 17 - / 44
NOTE
The relief valve need to be pulled one time every six months for purpose of
taking calcium carbonate out and ensuring no obstacle, outlet temp. of drainage
port may be high, please be careful;
Drainage pipe must be taken precautions to prevent it from freezing..
CAUTION
Do not hold down the handle of safety valve;
Do not knock down safety valve;
Do not plug the drainage port;
Excretion pipe must be connected with a open drainage port.
6)After finished all pipeline, open up the valve controlled cold water inlet and the
valve controlled hot water outlet to fill water into tank, you can stop when you find
water overflows from water outlet, then inspect all pipeline and make sure have no
water leakage.
7)When intake pressure is below 0.15MPa, a booster pump needed to be installed
to connect with inlet water pipe for purpose of obtaining larger water capacity,
which can make sure intake pressure is less than 0.15MPa; When intake pressure is

greater 0.65MPa, the relief valve needed to be installed to connect with inlet water
pipe for purpose of keeping your water tank into a long-term working state;
8）During heat pump running, condensed water droplets may be formed, drainage
water port may be unexpectedly blocked, which can make surface of equipment
drop water out, to ensure your normal life and yourself equipment, we suggest
water tray, please take reference to the below chart.
NOTE
When used for the place where the temp. is below 0℃，If installed the heat pump
outdoor, please take precaution to protect water pipe according to local minimum
temp. to prevent frozen or damage water pipe.
3. Air Duct Installation Instructions
Diameter is at least larger
50mm than heat pump

6). The resistance of duct will decrease air-flow-rate, which will lead to capacity of
unit decreased, the duct total length should be no more than 6m or the maximum
static pressure should within 20Pa, and the quantity bending should be no more
than three;
7). For unit air outlet with duct, when unit operating, condensate will be generated
around outside of duct, please pay attention to the drainage work, we suggest to
wrap the thermal insulated layer around outside if the duct;
8). It is recommended to install the unit in the indoor space. It is not allowed to
install the unit at outdoor or exposed to rain;
