GENERAL SAFETY The “Eemax Home Advantage” heater is specifically designed to take in hot or cold water and heat it to temperatures suitable for normal domestic usage up to a maximum of 140 F(60 C). To obtain optimum performance and energy savings, the unit should be located as near as possible to the point of use.
PAGE 3
I. MOUNTING THE UNIT 1) The unit should be mounted as close to the point of use as possible. Do not install the heater above a faucet or “point of use” because the siphoning effect may drain the heater which can cause premature element burn out. If the unit must be installed at a higher elevation, you must install spring loaded check valves on both the inlet and outlet of the water heater. 2) This unit must only be mounted in a vertical position with the water fittings located at the bottom of the unit.

TO DO THIS OPEN ALL HOT WATER OUTLETS ONE AT A TIME FOR A MINUTE OR TWO UNTIL THE WATER FLOW IS CONTINUOUS AND FREE FROM “GULPING” AND FREE FROM VISIBLE AIR POCKETS. 1) Open fully both inlet and outlet valves at the heater. 2) Open any hot water outlet in the system.

TROUBLESHOOTING SYMPTOM “A”: NO HEAT, INDICATOR LIGHT OFF 1) ELECTRIC SUPPLY IS OFF Turn on the TWO main circuit breakers. Ensure the breakers are properly connected to the relay. L1/L2 from one breaker must correspond with the same relay. You must be able to get 240V across each relay when powered up independently. Do not use space saving breakers. 2) NO OR LOW WATER FLOW Ensure that the minimum flow rate to switch on your heater is met. “TC” Models minimum flow rate = 0.70 gallons per minute.
