Temperature Adjustment

DANGER

Water temperature over 52°C (125°F) can cause severe burns instantly or death from scalds.

Children, disabled and elderly are at highest risk of being scalded.

See instruction manual before setting temperature at the storage tank.

Feel water before bathing or showering.

Temperature limiting valves are available, see man- ual.

Thermostats are factory set at 140°F (60°C). The thermo- stat operates automatically. It can be adjusted to provide a higher or lower water temperature.

If water temperature adjustment is required:

1.Turn the electrical supply "OFF".

2.Remove the access door and insulation pad.

3.Check with a voltage tester at terminal 1 and 3 of the limit control that power is indeed "OFF".

4.Adjust the thermostat to the water temperature desired.

5.Ensure insulation pad is in the door cavity. Replace access door(s).

6.Turn the electrical supply "ON".

WARNING:

Risk of scalding

There is a hot water scald potential if the thermostat is set too high.

Adjusting the thermostat past the 49°C (120°F) bar on the temperature dial will increase the risk of scald injury. Hot water can cause severe burns in:

1 1/2 seconds at. . . . . . . . . . . . . . 66°C (150°F)

3 seconds at . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 60°C (140°F)

20 seconds at . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . 54°C (130°F)

2.If at the end of the recovery cycle, the IWH is OFF but the circulator pump does not turn OFF automatically, reduce the storage tank thermostat set point until the pump shuts off. Check that pump is off.

Temperature Limit Control

For safety, a non-adjustable high limit temperature switch will shut off the power when excessive water temperatures are reached. This switch must be re-set manually.

V) MAINTENANCE

Temperature and Pressure Relief Valve

Manually operate the temperature and pressure relief valve at least once a year to make sure it is working properly. To prevent water damage, the valve must be properly connect- ed to a discharge line that terminates at an adequate drain.

CAUTION

The out-flowing water is hot. Avoid splashing the water on yourself or on the surroundings where it may cause dam- age.

Standing clear of the outlet (discharged water may be hot), slowly lift and release the lever handle on the temper- ature and pressure relief valve (see Figure 5) to allow the valve to operate freely and return to its closed position. If the valve fails to completely reset and continues to release water, immediately turn "OFF" the electrical supply to the tank, close the cold water supply valve and call a qualified service technician.

Draining and Flushing

It is recommended that the storage tank be drained and flushed every 6 months to remove sediment that may build up during operation. The storage tank should also be drained if being shut down for extended periods of time. To drain the tank, perform the following steps:

Initial Temperature Adjustment

1.For the temperature controlled IWH, ensure the tem- perature set point is 11°C (20°F) higher than the storage tank set point.

-6 -

CAUTION

The water being drained can be extremely hot! The drain hose should be rated for at least 93°C (200°F). If the drain hose does not have this rating, open the cold water supply valve and a nearby hot water faucet served by the system until the water flow is no longer hot. Close the cold water supply valve and resume.

FlowThru specifications

GSW FlowThru is at the forefront of innovative water management solutions, revolutionizing the way we handle stormwater and significantly improving urban water systems. Designed with efficiency and sustainability in mind, the FlowThru technology maximizes water infiltration and filtration while ensuring successful drainage in various applications.

One of the main features of the GSW FlowThru system is its unique permeability. The system is constructed using materials that allow for rapid water absorption, which reduces surface runoff. This characteristic is especially crucial in urban environments where impervious surfaces lead to flooding and water quality issues. By allowing water to flow through the system rather than accumulating on the surface, GSW FlowThru mitigates the risks associated with heavy rainfall.

The technology behind GSW FlowThru incorporates an advanced biofiltration process. This process purifies stormwater as it passes through a series of layers within the system, including gravel, sand, and specialized filter media. These layers work synergistically to remove pollutants, sediments, and nutrients, ensuring that the water is cleansed before it enters the underlying soil or drainage systems. This feature not only enhances water quality but also supports local ecosystems by replenishing groundwater supplies.

GSW FlowThru is also designed for easy installation and maintenance. The modular system can be customized to fit a variety of project scales, making it adaptable for both residential and commercial developments. Its lightweight components and straightforward assembly procedures make it a favorite among civil engineers and contractors, while its durable construction ensures longevity and reliability.

In addition to its functional attributes, GSW FlowThru embodies sustainability principles. By promoting rainwater infiltration, it helps recharge aquifers, minimizes the urban heat island effect, and contributes to biodiversity by creating viable habitats for local flora and fauna.

The GSW FlowThru system is a standout solution for modern water management challenges. Its combination of permeability, advanced biofiltration technology, and ease of use positions it as a leader in the market. As urban areas continue to expand, innovations like GSW FlowThru will play a vital role in addressing stormwater management while fostering environmental resilience.
