Burcam 300521 HOT WATER RETENTION PUMPING SYSTEM (GENIE) - Manual (Page 3)

PUMP INSTALLATION STEPS
(This product is for indoor use only.)
For your safety, turn the electric power supply off to the water heater at the breaker electric box.
For a gaz water heater, the valve should be turned off and make sure that the pilot light is not
on and burning. Adjust the thermostat on the water heater to a maximum of 145°F (62°C) prior
to the installation.
Prior to installing the pump, shut off the water supply to the hot water tank. Then, open the
nearest hot water faucet as well as the hot water faucet which is located at the further distance
from the hot water tank. This process will drain the pipes. Leave these faucets open during all
of the installation process.
Select the appropriate place to install the pump in vertical or horizontal position above the hot
water tank discharge. The pump has to be away from the chimney of any non-electric water
heater. A ball valve is required before the pump and another ball valve is also required after the
pump. This will allow you to isolate the pump area should service be required in the future. A
professional installation will also require that unions be use at the pump intake and discharge to
remove and re-install the pump easily if ever required. (Picture A)
Make sure the pump is installed with the arrow pointed upward so it can deliver the water away
from the heater, towards to the plumbing distribution piping. The system will not function if the
pump is installed with the arrow indication in the wrong direction.
Complete all the piping connections of the pump according
to all the appropriate plumbing requirements of your
national and local plumbing codes.
(Bypass valve installation) (Picture B)
Locate the valve at the fawcet located at the further
distance as possible from the hot water heater (greatest
piping distance), shut off both the hot and cold water supply
valves, under the sink. If you do not have supply valves
below the sink, shut off the main water supply and install
supply valves at the sink to facilitate servicing in the future.
Notes : If you have several piping outlets in your plumbing
distribution system, you may have to install more than
one bypass valve (one at each greatest piping distance of
each location). Communicate with our customer service
desk to purchase a supplementary bypass valve at
1.800.361.1820.
Disconnect the hot and cold water flexible hose from the
water supplies.
