North Road Technologies Geyser 6000–3.0 Installation & Owner's Manual - page 7
Find the electrical cord unit that is
pre-assembled with the strain-relief
mechanism on the exposed end.
Insert the cord through the hole
just drilled in the cover.
Screw the retaining ring onto the
back side of the cover, hand tight.
This will hold the cord in place on
the cover.
The Geyser has two leads exposed in the electrical cord. One will be a bare
lead, and one will have a terminal connector on it. Locate the bottom
heating element inside the tank. All electric tanks have a bottom heating
element that will have 2 wires connected on to the terminals. Note that
some tanks have limit switches or other temperature controls connected
– make sure you go right to the element. Remove either of the two leads
(note that some tanks have terminal connectors on one or both of these
leads – if possible, remove the lead that does not have the terminal
connector). Ultimately, it will not matter which of the two leads is removed
from the heating element. If both leads from the heating element have
connectors, snip off one of the connectors and strip back the insulation off
that lead approximately ½”.
Inside the GEYSER 6000–3.0™ package, you will find the GEYSER 6000–3.0™ water
heater unit, plus all fittings, drain hose, and all required components to ensure a safe
operating system. Items specifically
not
included are: thread seal tape, 3/4” hole saw,
and electrical tape.

The following installation instructions cover installing the Geyser in conjunction with an
electric water tank. Alternate water tanks (oil, gas, or propane) may require an alternate
installation method and it is recommended that you contact a professional installer who
is capable of performing light plumbing, soldering, pipe cutting, etc. Note that some
electric tank manufacturers (such as Marathon) utilize alternate plumbing on their tanks
where the drain valve and internal piping preclude the standard Geyser installation
methods. If your current tank is a Marathon brand tank, you may want to consider the
services of a professional installer who is capable of performing light plumbing, soldering,
pipe cutting, etc.
