- Chemicals that are corrosive in nature should not be stored or used near the water heater or vent termination.

You must ensure that clearances will be met and that the vent length will be within required limits. Consider the installation environment, water quality, and need for freeze protection. Requirements for the gas line, water lines, electrical connection, and condensate disposal can be found in their respective installation sections of this manual.

Water quality

Consideration of care for your water heater should include evaluation of water quality.

The water must be potable, free of corrosive chemicals, sand, dirt, or other contaminates. It is up to the installer to ensure the water does not contain corrosive chemicals, or elements that can affect or damage the heat exchanger. Water that contains chemicals exceeding the levels below affect and damage the heat exchanger. Replacement of the heat exchanger due to water quality damage is not covered by the warranty.

Environment

Air surrounding the water heater, venting, and vent termination(s) is used for combustion and must be free of any compounds that cause corrosion of internal components. These include corrosive compounds that are found in aerosol sprays, detergents, bleaches, cleaning solvents, oil based paints/ varnishes, and refrigerants. The air in beauty shops, dry cleaning stores, photo processing labs, and storage areas for pool supplies often contains these compounds.

Therefore it is recommended that outdoor models be used for these locations where possible.

The water heater, venting, and vent termination(s) should not be installed in any areas where the air may contain these corrosive compounds. If it is necessary for a water heater to be located in areas which may contain corrosive compounds, the following instructions are strongly recommended.

IMPORTANT CONSIDERATIONS FOR:
