REDUCING HEAT LOSSES
The cold water line to and the hot water line from the water heater must be
insulated in accordance with the requirements of AS/NZS
3500.4. The
insulation must be weatherproof and UV resistant if exposed.
ANODE TYPES
The correct anode type for the water supply being used must be fitted in the
water heater (refer to
“Water Supplies” on page 30). The black anode is fitted
as standard.
Total Dissolved Solids in water supply to the water heater Anode colour code
0 – 40 mg/L Green
40 – 600 mg/L Black
600 – 2500 mg/L Blue
SADDLING - PIPE WORK
To prevent damage to the cylinder when attaching pipe clips or saddles to the
water heater jacket, we recommend the use of self-drilling screws with a
maximum length of 12 mm. Should pre drilling be required, extreme caution
must be observed when penetrating the jacket of the water heater.
Note: Damage to the cylinder as a result of saddling to the jacket will void
the warranty.
