Installation Guide

If your water heater requires a reset, be sure to TURN OFF THE BREAKER prior to
resetting the unit.
Resetting your unit without turning off the breaker can result in personal injury and
damage to your water heater.
-
The heater must be connected to its own independent electrical circuit. Install a
fuse box or switch (“breaker") for exclusive use of the heater.

The wire gauge necessary will vary based on amperage and distance to the
breaker, but 8 gauge wire is generally sufficient for most installations. If the
distance is very short, sometimes smaller gauge wire may be used. If you aren't
sure which gauge of wire should be used, contact an electrician. The supply wire,
main switch and circuit protection (Leakage Circuit Breaker) must be
sufficient for the amperage required. Please check the table above and the flow
rate/temperature rise chart for the appropriate amperage for your situation. Note
that the lower the amperage, the lower the water temperature rise will be.
DO NOT TURN ON THE BREAKER SWITCH UNTIL ALL ELECTRICAL AND
PLUMBING CONNECTIONS ARE MADE AND WATER IS FLOWING THROUGH
THE UNIT.
For PP110:
Connect (1) white wire to the single pole 10, 20, 30 or 40 Amp circuit breaker.
Connect (1) white wire to the neutral bar on your breaker box. It does not matter
which white wire connects to neutral and which connects to the breaker. Connect
the green ground wire to the ground bar on your breaker box.
For PP220 (PPXE5):
Connect the (2) white wires to the double pole 10, 20, 30 or 40 Amp circuit breaker.
Connect the green ground wire to the ground bar on your breaker box.
This appliance MUST be grounded. Connect the ground wire, as indicated in the
Electrical Code.
When all connections are satisfactorily prepared, install the heater cover. With the
insulated container off and water flow modifier (optional) fully open, the faucet must
be opened fully to get maximum water flow . It is necessary to ensure that the water
tank is full before turning the power on. This is an essential step to protect the
heating element.
Note that the above instructions are simply guidelines that apply to most
installations.
The size of the switch and wire gauge must meet all local, state, provincial and
national electrical codes in your area. Contact an electrician if you're not sure.
