SECTION X: MAINTENANCE

WARNING

Always turn off the electrical power supply, the manual gas valve, and the manual water control valve whenever servicing this appliance.

KEEP THE APPLIANCE AREA CLEAR AND FREE FROM COMBUSTIBLE MATERIALS, GASOLINE, AND OTHER FLAMMABLE VAPORS AND LIQUIDS.

The EVERHOT→ water heater should be checked annually by a qualified technician. Regular maintenance will keep the water heater operating efficiently and help to assure reliable operation and a long service life.

1.Remove and clean the inlet water filter screen.

2.Visually inspect the burner flames. The flame must burn with a clear blue, stable flame. Refer to figure 13, “Burner Flame Appearance” for satisfactory flame appearance. If the burner flame appearance is not satisfactory or debris is visible on the burners, remove and clean with a vacuum cleaner.

3.Inspect entire venting system and vent terminal. Make sure all the venting connections are tight and the gaskets are in good condition. Check the vent terminal openings for blockage and clean, if necessary. Keep shrubs and vegetation clear of the vent terminal.

4.All electric motors are permanently lubricated and do not need oiling. Remove the combustion air blower and clean wheel and housing with soft brush or vacuum.

5.If the “LC” code has been flashing on the remote display, the heat exchanger will need flushing to remove lime and scale deposits. Refer to the “Flushing Procedure for Lime Scale Removal…” in Section X, “Maintenance”.

6.Check operation of the pressure relief valve. To check the relief valve, lift the lever at the end of the valve several times. The valve should seat properly and operate freely. If water does not flow, remove and inspect for obstructions or corrosion. Replace with a new valve of the recommended size as necessary. A thorough inspection of the valve should be performed at least every three years by removing the pressure relief valve from the outlet piping. Do not attempt to repair the valve, as this could result in improper operation and explosion of the heat exchanger and piping. In areas with poor water conditions, it may be necessary to inspect the pressure relief valve more often than the recommended maintenance schedule.

IGI-180C, IGI-180R specifications

Bradford-White Corporation is a well-known name in the water heating industry, offering a range of reliable and efficient products. Among its noteworthy offerings are the IGI-180R and IGI-180C indirect water heaters. These models exemplify the company's commitment to quality and innovation, featuring robust designs and cutting-edge technologies.

The IGI-180R and IGI-180C units are designed to provide a consistent supply of hot water for residential and commercial applications. Both models have a storage capacity of 180 gallons, making them ideal for settings that require large volumes of hot water, such as restaurants, schools, and larger households. Their large tanks ensure minimal wait times and a reliable hot water supply, even during peak usage periods.

One of the key features of the IGI series is their indirect heating capability. Instead of relying on electric elements or gas burners, these heaters use a separate boiler or heating system to provide the necessary heat. This allows for more efficient operation, as the water is heated more evenly and effectively. The models integrate seamlessly with existing boiler systems, making them an excellent choice for those looking to upgrade or expand their hot water capabilities without extensive modifications.

Both the IGI-180R and IGI-180C incorporate advanced insulation technology, minimizing heat loss and improving energy efficiency. The high-density foam insulation encases the tank, keeping the water hot for longer periods and reducing energy costs associated with reheating. This insulation also contributes to a longer lifespan for the unit, as it reduces the wear and tear on the heating systems.

Another pivotal characteristic of these units is their durable construction. Bradford-White utilizes high-quality materials and rigorous manufacturing standards, ensuring that the IGI models withstand the test of time. The tanks are constructed from heavy-duty steel with a glass lining that protects against corrosion and sediment buildup, enhancing the longevity and performance of the water heater.

Lastly, both models come equipped with a range of safety features, including an integrated Pressure Relief Valve and a temperature control system. These elements safeguard against overheating and pressure issues, ensuring safe operation.

In conclusion, the IGI-180R and IGI-180C indirect water heaters by Bradford-White Corporation stand out for their efficient, reliable, and durable design. With advanced heating technology, excellent insulation, and robust safety features, they are a smart investment for any hot water demand scenario.
