CAUTION
Hydrogen gas can be produced in a hot water system served by these heaters that
have not been used for a long period of time (generally 2 weeks or more.) Hydrogen gas is
extremely flammable. To reduce the risk of injury under these conditions, it is recommended
that the hot water faucet be opened for several minutes at the kitchen sink before using any
electrical appliance connected to the hot water system. If hydrogen is present, there will be
an unusual sound such as air escaping through the pipe as the water begins to flow. There
should be no smoking or open flame near the faucet at the time it is open.
Small amounts of electric currents may move to your boat through your shore cord,
causing galvanic damage to your water heater. To help prevent possible damage, a galvanic
isolator is recommended. Galvanic corrosion IS NOT
covered under warranty.
ANODES
In a small number of instances tap water may have sufficient concentrations of
dissolved salts to cause corrosion of the heater tank. Anode rods preserve the life of a water
heater by corroding themselves so the water heater doesn't. These anode rods are easy to
install! Simply replace the drain plug with this product to protect the water heater tank.
Note:
DO NOT USE ZINC ANODES. THEY WILL NOT PREVENT
CORROSION TO YOUR HEATER TANK!!!!
