• Location - Whether a plaster or drywall, it is important to lookout for the area where you want the water heater installed.
• Water supply route - Water is supplied to the water heater, and either used immediately or stored depending on the water heater. Instant water heaters require you to route the pipes supplying water to it and ensure the instant hot water heater pipe leads straight to the inlet, while the water pipe supplying to your home is attached to the outlet.
• Ensure proper clearance - When installing storage water heaters, there should be a minimum of 15cm clearance on the perimeter of the water heater, and place it away from any flammable material.
• Test it out - Do not start up the electricity lines, but only the water valves. Open the faucets in your home to get water running from the model for 1 – 2 minutes and shut the valves off. Get the inline filter off, and remove any debris you find. Test the appliance to ensure that it is properly functioning.
