This product has no “user” serviceable parts. To avoid damage to the unit or injury to personnel, use only Authorized Hatco Service Agents and Genuine Hatco Parts when service is required.

Genuine Hatco Replacement Parts are specified to operate safely in the environments in which they are used. Some aftermarket or generic replacement parts do not have the characteristics that will allow them to operate safely

in Hatco equipment. It is essential to use Hatco Replacement Parts when repairing Hatco equipment. Failure to use Hatco Replacement Parts may subject operators of the equipment to hazardous electrical voltage, resulting in electrical shock or burn.

Water in the unit and holding vessel is very hot. Wear protective gloves and proper attire when operating to avoid injury.

Do not use extension pipes on the inlet and outlet connections on heater units. Poor performance or unsafe conditions may occur.

CAUTIONS

Do not overtighten unions or nuts.

Overtightening may cause leaks.

Do not turn the electrical current to the unit on until the holding vessel has been filled with water or element burnout may occur.

Inspect weekly for lime buildup inside unit. Excessive amounts can affect unit performance and reduce the operating life of the unit.

To avoid any damage to the heater unit use only delimers that are non-corrosive to aluminum, brass and stainless steel. Damage caused by corrosive material

or solutions is not covered under warranty.

Drain holding vessel with power to the unit off, or element burnout may occur.

Water Quality Requirements - Incoming water in excess of 3.0 grains of hardness per gallon (GPG) (.75 grains of hardness per liter) must be treated or softened before being supplied to a Hydro-Heater. Water containing over 3.0 GPG (.75 GPL)

will decrease the efficiency and reduce the operating life of the unit.
