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 ,500 cubic feet (4.5 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, 5 volt, 5 amp. While the device requires about Amps
momentarily upon power-up, the device draws 5-8 Amps on average during operation. It is recommended that a dedicated 5
amp circuit be used to power the GEYSER 6000-3.0™.
The GEYSER 6000-3.0™ is recommended for tanks 30 gallons (5 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 (4 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.
