Check that the hot water tank is connected to a properly grounded electric outlet and that the circuit breakers or fuses are in good order. Be sure that the outlet is not switched off. An easy way to test this is by unplugging the tank and plugging in a different small appliance to see if it works (such as a hair dryer).

6. The PSI may need to be tested, as the water pressure may be below the 15 PSI requirement for a hot water tank. Please contact a plumber to perform the test. Please note that many reverse osmosis (RO) systems may not deliver a constant 15 PSI, therefore bypassing the RO system may be necessary.

Locate the thermostat dial on the front of the tank and turn it 1/2 a notch counterclockwise to decrease the temperature. Depress or twist the dispenser handle for 20 seconds to allow cold water to enter the tank. Allow the water to reheat to the new setting. Continue adjusting the dial in small increments until the temperature is to your liking.

2. If the dispenser is newly installed, check the water connections for use of plumbers putty or sealant. Sealants do not need to be used and may affect the taste and odor of the water. Clean off the sealant, reattach the connections, and let the water run to refresh the water in the tank.

1. If the water temperature in your tank is set too high, it may make a louder rumbling or gurgling noise when heating the water. To adjust the thermostat, look at the tank using a flashlight, if needed. Locate the thermostat dial on the front of the tank and turn it 1/2 a notch counterclockwise to decrease the temperature.

Locate the thermostat dial on the front of the tank and gradually turn it counterclockwise to decrease the temperature or clockwise to increase the temperature. If the water is too hot, depress or twist the dispenser handle for 20 seconds to allow cold water to enter the tank and allow the water to reheat to the new setting.

4. Mount the hot water tank. The next step is to mount the hot water tank. Mount it vertically and level in a location where the plumbing and electrical connections can be made. Do not extend plumbing or electrical lines. Also, allow for drainage from the underside if necessary.
