Solar Water Heater - GeoSpring (ICS) Unit Installation

GE GeoSpring™ Internal Collector Storage (ICS) Solar Water Heaters can be installed on a rooftop or on the ground. Direct contact with a solar water heater while it is in use could result in severe burns. Installers and servicers should always use caution when servicing or performing maintenance on the unit.

 

If installing the water heater on the ground or other areas that are accessible, the water heater must be guarded to protect against unintentional contact.

 

When transporting the solar water heater to the place where it will be installed, it is important to only lift it by its frame. Never lift it by the water connections or bolts. You must transport/lift the unit only by the frame to prevent damage to the solar water heater.

 

The installation, maintenance, cleaning and all other procedures listed for the unit in the owner's manual should only be performed by fully and properly instructed, qualified and authorized personnel. This means only licensed installers, contractors, plumbers, HVAC and solar contractors should install and maintain the unit, not the homeowner.
