GEYSER Internal Wiring Diagram
The GEYSER 6000–3.0™ from North Road Technologies requires very little in the way of
maintenance to ensure a long and trouble free life for your unit.
AIR FILTER—The air filter should be cleaned whenever visibly dirty. The air filter is another
benefit provided by the GEYSER 6000–3.0. It cleans the air at no additional cost. It is a
critically important component of the GEYSER 6000–3.0 and will significantly reduce the
heating capacity and efficiency when dirty. The filter can be cleaned by gently hand-washing
in water. Remove and replace with care. Replacement air filters can be purchased through
North Road Technologies at
www.northrdt.com
.
EVAPORATOR—The evaporator underneath the filter becomes clogged or dirty, it may be
cleaned either by vacuuming or with a commercial evaporator cleaning spray. DO NOT use
a solvent containing bleach, acetone, or flammable substances. TURN THE UNIT OFF AT THE
FUSE OR BREAKER BOX BEFORE CLEANING.
DRAIN AND FLUSH—Drain five gallons of water from the tank every six months. Connect a
garden hose to the drain valve at the bottom of the tank, and put the other end of the hose
where you want the drained water to go. Close the stop valve that is right next to the drain
valve, and open the drain valve. This will drain some water from the tank and back-flush the
Heat Pump Water Heater. After five gallons have been drained, close the drain valve, open the
stop valve and remove the hose. This practice will extend the life of both the GEYSER 6000–
3.0 and the storage tank.
Stop GEYSER 6000–3.0™ by pressing the selector switch rocker to OFF. This will allow the
resistance elements in the tank to heat the water until the GEYSER 6000–3.0 is repaired. Press
the selector switch rocker to off and call for service.
