North Road Technologies Geyser 6000–3.0 Installation & Owner's Manual - page 6
SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
The GEYSER 6000–3.0™ can only be placed in dry/covered location, in areas where the temp
will not fall below 40°F. (4.5°C.). If using the unit in an attic, garage or basement, the unit
can be installed without any additional equipment. However, if your water heater is in a
space with less than 1,500 cubic feet (42.5 cubic meters), consider ordering longer hoses to
locate GEYSER 6000–3.0™ in a suitable location.
The GEYSER 6000–3.0™ connects to a typical household outlet, 115 volt, 15 amp. While
the device requires about 12 Amps momentarily upon power-up, the device draws 5-8 Amps
on average during operation. It is recommended that a dedicated 15 amp circuit be used
to power the GEYSER 6000-3.0™.
The GEYSER 6000-3.0™ is recommended for tanks 30 gallons (115 Liters) and larger. A drain
must be available to accommodate condensate generated by the GEYSER 6000–3.0™. In high
humidity environments, this condensation can amount to as much as 50 pints (24 Liters) per
day. The condensate can be routed to a floor drain, a sink, expelled into a plumbing vent pipe
or house waste line, or to the outside or by way of a drain hose included with the GEYSER
6000–3.0™. The drain line discharges via gravity, so it is important to locate the drain line
appropriately.

Grounding instructions
This heat pump water heater is for use on 115 volts. The cord has a plug
as shown at A in Figure below. An adapter as shown at C is available for
connecting three-blade grounding-type plugs to two-slot receptacles. The
green grounding lug extending from the adapter must be connected to a
permanent ground such as a properly grounded outlet box. The adapter should
not be used if a three-slot grounded receptacle is available.
The Geyser heat pump water heater is for use at 115 volts. The cord has a
plug as shown at A on the figure on the next page. An adaptor, as shown at
C, is available for connecting a three–blade grounding–type plug to two–slot
recepticles. The green grounding lug extending from the adaptor must
be connected to a permanent ground, such as a properly grounded outlet
box. The adaptor should not be used if a three–slot grounded receptacle is
available.
Wire tie the bare lead from the Geyser
to the lead just removed from the tank,
using the wire nut that comes with the
Geyser. Electrical tape must be used to
seal this connection. Take the second
wire from the Geyser (the one with the
terminal connector) and connect it to
the terminal where you just removed the
lead from the tank.
Reconnect the hand-hole cover to
the tank.
Plug the Geyser 6000–3.0™ into
a dedicated (preferred) 115 volt
wall socket, and re-energize all
circuit breakers or fuses, supplying
power to both the Geyser unit and
the water heater tank.
Install the condensate pump and drain tubing if required. Plan the
pump location with the 6 foot connector cord length in mind.
