Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies 3a.2: Corrosion Protection Fittings and the Shell Surface in contact with the water are to be galvanically compatible. Sealants and / or Teflon plumbing tape should be used on potentially galvanically incompatible fittings. This is to protect against possible electrolytic corrosion between the metals (where moisture penetration could occur due to incorrectly or poorly sealed fittings). 3b: Air Flow The Compact and Spl

Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies 6f.4: Flushing Of Water Tank As with other hot water heater tanks, dissolved solids in the water or scale may accumulate in the bottom of the water tank forming sludge. This is generally less of a problem with Quantum units as no internal elements or burners are used. If such sludge build-up does occur the following procedure can be followed to clean out the tank. 1. Turn Off power to the unit. 2. Turn Off water s

Owner’s Manual Quantum Energy Technologies Section 7: RECOGNITION OF ABNORMAL OPERATION 7a: Pressure & Temperature Relief Valve Running It is not unusual for the Pressure & Temperature Relief valve to allow a small quantity of water to escape during the heating cycle. The amount of discharge will depend on hot water usage. As a guide, if it discharges more than 20 litres of water in 24 hours then there may be a problem. 7a.1: Continuous Trickle Likely build up
