Plumbing Installation
Plumbing Installation Instructions
Please see installation diagrams on the following pages for visual guidance.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THESE STEPS WILL CAUSE WATER TANK DAMAGE.
Please follow all plumbing instructions carefully. We recommend that this product be installed by a
qualied person. If further assistance is needed, a licensed and qualied plumber in accordance with
all applicable national, state, provincial, and local plumbing codes should be hired.
STEP 1: Using the corresponding ttings for which layout was used, connect the HOT
WATER outlet from your water tank to the INLET thread located on the bottom side of the
Water Heater Booster when facing the unit. Use a 3/4" Union to secure the connection.
STEP 2: Connect hot water outlet (3/4" NPT) to hot water distribution system.
STEP 5: Carefully inspect all connections, unions, and the pressure relief valve (if installed)
for leaks
STEP 6: TURN OFF ALL FAUCETS BEFORE PROCEEDING TO ELECTRICAL
INSTALLATION
STEP 4: After tightening all ttings, open all hot water faucets and allow un-heated water to
run through the water heater for at least 2 to 3 minutes. This process purges all the air from the
water lines and MUST be performed prior to turning on the power at the unit.
FAILURE TO FOLLOW THIS STEP CAN CAUSE PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE
HEATING ELEMENTS OF THE TANK
If any maintenance is performed on the water heater or the home's plumbing system that may
introduce air into the plumbing pipes, it is important to turn the power o to the water heater
and purge the air out of the lines before allowing the unit to power up.
STEP 3:
• Close the tank drain valve.
• Make sure at least one warm water faucet is open in the house.
• Re-open the water supply valve on the cold water copper pipe.

Installation Instructions
Important installation notes:
1. Do not apply heat or solder directly to this unit. Heat from soldering may damage the ow sensor
in the unit.
2. This unit is quipped with both computer-controlled and electro-mechanical auto resting
thermostat switches for high-limited temperature protection. Since this product does not use
a storage tank, the use of a temperature pressure relief valve (T&P) is not required for most
installations. UL standard 499 does NOT require that a pressure relief valve be used. However,
a T&P valve may be required to meet installation code in your area. If one is required, install the
pressure relief valve in accordance with local codes and ensure that it operates correctly and that
air is purged from the valve prior to installing the water heater. When connecting to Flex to High
Temperature CPVC pipe, we recommend that a T&P valve be used for added safety.
Please note: Installations in the Commonwealth of Massachusetts require a pressure relief
valve. Please check your local installation codes for any special requirements.
3. The maximum operating water pressure is 150 PSI. If the water pressure is higher, a pressure
reducing valve must be installed on the main incoming water supply line prior to installing the
unit.
4. When connecting the inlet water pipe to the unit, make sure to use a wrench to hold the unit's
connection, and another wrench to tighten, so the flow sensor on the unit is not loosened or
damaged. Serious internal damage to the water heater can occur if the inlet connections are over
tightened or if solder connections are made.
5. We recommend that a manual shut-off valve (ball valve) be installed on the inlet and outlet of
the water heater so that there is a convenient shut-off point available in the event that future
maintenance or servicing is required. Before connecting pipes to the water heater, it is extremely
important to flush the lines to eliminate all plumbing paste or residue in the lines caused by any
brazing or soldering.
We recommend that all the water piping within 3 feet of the inlet and outlet connections be rated for
high temperature applications with a 150 ºF minimum temperature rating.

CAUTION:
Ensure that you have made the correct connections. You must follow the wiring connection as shown
to ensure the proper operation of the unit. If you mix up one set of wires with another, the unit will
not operate correctly even though it turns on and otherwise appears to function properly.
STEP 1: Making sure all electrical power is shut o, remove the red, black (possibly white
in some applications), and ground wires from the existing tank heater coming from the circuit
breaker. These wires will now go into the Water Heater Booster through the hole in the unit's
side plate (see wiring diagram and connection reference 1 on the subsequent pages).
STEP 2: Using the existing wires removed from the tank in step 1, run Line 1 (red wire),
Line 2 (black wire - possibly white in some applications), and ground (green wire) from the
home's main breaker panel to the Water Heater Booster, through the side plate hole. This is
connection reference 1, specied on page 12.
Note: If you are installing a new circuit, select a suitable wire gauge that meets all applicable
electrical codes for the size of the breakers used.
Note: A separate ground conductor for each incoming circuit is required.
STEP 5: DOUBLE CHECK the electrical connections to make sure they are correct and that
all wire connections are tight and secure. Also conrm that the correct breaker size and wire
gauge has been used and conrm that the unit has been connected to a ground in accordance
with applicable codes.
STEP 6: Conrm that all the air has been purged from the water lines prior to turning on
power to the unit. Refer to STEP 4 in the plumbing installation section.
STEP 4: Now connect the wires from the Water Heater Booster (pigtail cord stemming from
the unit) to the existing tank heater. The red, black, and green/yellow (ground) wires should
all have secure connections.
MAKE SURE THESE CONNECTIONS ARE IN AN ENCLOSED AREA. EXPOSED
CONNECTIONS CAN LEAD TO SERIOUS INJURY OR DEATH.
STEP 3: Connect the supplied pigtail cord to the Booster. See connection reference 2 on

For Gas or Heat Pump Tank congurations, follow these steps with a NEW DEDICAT-
ED SERVICE from the panel to the Booster.
1. Remove the control knob from the unit, then remove the cover of the unit. Two
screws on the end must be removed in order to do this.
2. For this step, if the leads from the breaker are wrapped a common household
cable jacket, make sure the ends of the leads are exposed from the external
jacket for at least 10 inches. Strip back 3/8" to bare copper on Ll & L2.
• Lines 1 & 2 and ground (from the circuit breaker) will be connected to the
Booster's inner terminal block. Make sure to thread these lines into the heater
from the side via the Side hole, using the supplied cord grommet.
• Connect Line 1 (red) to the "L1" labelled wire terminal, and Line 2
(black) to the "L2" labelled wire terminal, using a flathead screwdriver to
secure the terminal.
• Using a supplied wire nut, connect the circuit breaker ground wire to
the green/yellow ground wire stem already inside the unit, which will be
exposed. Twist wires together, then twist the wire nut with both wires
inside to secure the connection.
3. Tighten the connections on the terminal block with a flathead screwdriver. MAKE SURE
WIRES ARE INSERTED ALL THE WAY IN THE TERMINAL, AND THAT THE SCREWS
SECURING THE CONNECTION ARE TIGHT AND SECURE. FAILURE TO DO THIS
WILL CAUSE HEATER MALFUNCTION. Also, make sure that the wire insulation is not
inserted into the terminal block as this will inhibit a good electrical connection.

Installation Instructions
Operating your new unit is very similar to using any traditional water heating system. However,
it is very important that you carefully read all of the set-up procedures and operating instructions
and tips to ensure the maximum performance and energy savings from your new water heater. We
recommend that all members of the household read these General Operating Instructions.
How your new unit works: The Water Heater Booster combines with the traditional hot water
tank to provide an eective and ecient way of heating your home. The unit reads the temperature
coming out of the tank, and will turn on if the water drops below a set temperature, which you can
set. The booster will keep the water at the desired temperature, another limit which you can set.
To ensure maximum performance of your unit and to reduce the risk of a water leak, we recommend
the following maintenance:
You should inspect the connections on the inlet and outlet of the unit at least on an annual basis
for any signs of damage or failure. Any signs of damage, cracks, leakage or weakness should be
addressed. Take care not to over-tighten the connections. Serious internal damage to your water
heater can occur if you over-tighten the water heater connections at the unit.
IMPORTANT NOTES:
As with all electrical appliances, under no circumstances should you attempt to install, repair or
disassemble this water heater without rst shutting o all power to the unit directly at the fuse or
breaker box. SERIOUS BODILY INJURY OR DEATH COULD OCCUR IF YOU IGNORE THIS
WARNING.
When any maintenance is performed on the unit or the home’s plumbing system that may introduce
air into the plumbing pipes, it is important to turn the power o to the water heater and purge the
air out of the lines before allowing the unit to power up. FAILURE TO DO SO COULD CAUSE
PERMANENT DAMAGE TO THE HEATING ELEMENT AND VOID YOUR WARRANTY.
If you have a water supply with a high level of mineralization (hard water), you should increase the
frequency of your maintenance. Remove element and inspect for scale build up –soak in vinegar or
de-liming solution until scale is removed, typically within a few hours.

Tern up the temperature setting on the unit.
Voltage less than 240
volts.
The heating elements on your unit are designed
for 240 volts. When use with a lower voltage,
they produce less heating power.
Mixing too much
cold water
You may have an anti-scald feature on your
faucet that is mixing cold water. These types
of faucets can usually be adjusted to reduce
the amount of cold water mixed. Also, your
tank may be completely out of hot water and is
mixing cold water. Give the tank time to recover
or reduce the amount of water your are using.

Caring For Your Water Heater
PROBLEM POSSIBLE
CAUSES
SOLUTION
The water temperature
at my faucet is less
than the temperature
setting of my water
heater.
Voltage less than 240
volts.
The computer chips in your unit are
programmed with the expectation that your
incoming line voltage is 240 volts. If you have
less than 240 volts, it may aect the reading on
your unit's digital and cause it to read slightly
higher than the actual output temperature. To
compensate for this, increase the setting on your
unit if you need/want hotter water.
Anti-scald pressure/
balancing valve or
tempering valve.
Your faucet may have an anti-scald feature or
a tempering valve that automatically mixes
cold water even when you turn your control
lever or handle to full hot. These devices are
usually adjustable so you can turn o the cold
mix completely. You can compensate for this by
increasing the setting on your unit if you need/
want hotter water.
Thermal loss due to
long pipe run
As the hot water from the unit runs through the
hot water delivery system to your faucet, some
heat will be lost especially if it has long distance
to travel or the pipes are cold. This is normal.
You can compensate for this by increasing the
setting on your unit if you need/want hotter
water.
Pre-existing water tank
is not heating.
Incorrect wiring. The unit may be wired incorrectly. Refer to page
