MAINTENANCE

Cleaning the Hydro-Heater

Perform the following procedure daily to ensure consistent
operation of the Hydro-Heater.
NOTICE
Use only delimers that are non-corrosive to aluminum,
brass, and stainless steel. Damage to unit caused by
corrosive materials is not covered under warranty.
1. Make sure the unit is off, cool, and the water in the well
has been drained. If not, perform steps 1–3 of the "Daily
Cleaning" procedure in this section.
2. Drain all water remaining in the
unit.
• Make sure the drain lever is in
the open position.
• Place a catch pan below the
cleanout drain(s), remove the
pipe cap(s) from the drain(s)
and allow remaining water to
empty from the unit.
3. Clean the water level probe on the sidewall and wipe any
visible deposits from the well.

4. Move the drain lever up to the closed position.
5. Install the pipe cap(s) onto the clean-out drain(s).
6. Manually add appropriate solution to the unit.
For daily cleaning: Dissolve a safe, non-toxic, non-
corrosive sanitizer into 1 gallon (3.7 L) of hot water and
pour into the well. Allow to soak for a minimum of 15
minutes.
For removing lime and mineral deposits: Add water
and white vinegar mixture to the unit. The mixture should
consist of 75% water and 25% white vinegar. Do not use
flavored vinegar. Allow the unit to stand with the mixture in
the well for an appropriate period of time.
NOTE: The amount of lime and mineral content in the water
and how often the unit is operated in HOT Mode will
dictate how often the unit needs to be delimed. Units
used with water that contains high lime and mineral
content may require deliming on a daily basis. Product
failure caused by liming or sediment buildup is not
covered under warranty.
NOTE: The time required will vary depending on the solution
used and amount of deposits in the well. Heavy scale
buildup may require additional treatments.
7. After cleaning, drain all expended solution from the unit
through the drain and the clean-out drain(s).
8. Thoroughly rinse unit with fresh water until discharge is
clear and all sanitizers have been removed and rinsed.
9. Upon visual inspection, if the Hydro-Heater tank is not
thoroughly clean, repeat steps 4–8 above.
10. Install the pipe cap(s) onto the clean-out drain(s).
11. Continue with step 5 of the "Daily Cleaning" procedure in
this section.
