Should the iStore Air-to-Energy Water heater have been partially or fully submerged then is should be replaced. As a general rule water submerged water heaters may have:
Electrical components damaged beyond repair or with compromised mechanisms.
Fans, evaporators, flues, and heat exchangers affected by silt and blockage, causing unsafe operation.
Other components of the water heater like insulation which may be damaged, thereby affecting the operation and life span of the water heater.
Also, if flood water has entered a water heater, the quality of the potable water provided may be affected and it is recommended that the unit be replaced. Remember, flood waters may be contaminated with sewage which can carry a range of viruses, bacteria and parasites in addition to other debris.
