Frequently Asked Questions - GL5 Gleamous

How do I install the Gleamous GL5 water heater?

Install the device on a wall using the provided bracket. Ensure it is level and securely fixed. Connect to cold water supply and power outlet. For detailed steps, refer to the installation manual.

Can I use the GL5 without storage mode?

Yes, the GL5 operates in both instantaneous and storage modes. In instantaneous mode, it heats water on demand. In storage mode, it maintains a reservoir of hot water.

How do I adjust the temperature?

Turn the temperature dial on the front panel. The range is from 30°C to 60°C. For energy savings, set it to 50°C.

What safety features does the GL5 have?

It includes a thermal cut-off to prevent overheating, overheat protection, and a pressure relief valve to release excess pressure.

How often should I descale the water heater?

Descaling is recommended every 6 months to maintain efficiency. Use a descaling solution suitable for electric water heaters and follow the instructions in the manual.

What should I do if the water is not heating?

Check the power supply and circuit breaker. Ensure the temperature dial is set correctly. If the problem persists, the heating element may need replacement.

Can I replace the anode rod myself?

Yes, the anode rod is user-replaceable. Turn off power and water supply, drain the tank, and unscrew the old rod. Install a new one of the same type.

What is the maximum water pressure for the GL5?

The maximum working pressure is 0.6 MPa (6 bar). If your water pressure exceeds this, install a pressure reducing valve.

How do I winterize the GL5?

Drain the tank completely by opening the drain valve. Disconnect power and water supply. Store in a frost-free location if possible.

Where can I find spare parts for the GL5?

Spare parts such as heating elements, thermostats, and anode rods are available from authorized dealers or online. Use only genuine Gleamous parts.
