Step 1: Unboxing

  1. First things first, unbox your water heater. Make sure all the parts are included: the main water heater unit, inlet adapters, flexible hose, rain shower set, and the necessary screws, valves, and electrical components.

Step 2: Mount Water Heater

  1. With the unit unboxed, the next step is to remove the screws from the water heater’s cover. This will give you access to the inside of the unit, which is essential for proper installation. Use a screwdriver that matches the screw type to avoid damage.

  2. Before attaching the water heater to the wall, mark the screw hole locations on all four sides of the water heater. This ensures that your heater is aligned correctly and securely attached.

  3. Now it’s time to install the water heater. Secure it to the wall using the screws, making sure it’s level and stable. Double-check the placement before tightening the screws completely.

Step 3: Install Piping/Hose

  1. Next, install the stop valve, which controls the flow of water to the heater. Ensure it's tightly secured, as it will be crucial for regulating water flow during use.

    Install Hose

  2. Once the stop valve is in place, connect the inlet adapter and the flexible hose to the stop valve. These components allow water to flow into the heater, so it's important to double-check for tight connections to prevent leaks.

Step 4: Install Power Supply

  1. Now, it's time to install the electrical components. Begin by installing the 20A switch that controls power to the water heater. Safety first: make sure the power is off before handling any electrical connections.

  2. Next, install a 15A socket outlet. This will be used to plug in the water heater, so ensure the socket is properly wired and secure. Test it for power once it's installed.

Step 5: Assemble Rain Shower Set and Install

  1. Once the heater is mounted and powered, install the rain shower set. This set typically includes a rain shower head and hand shower, which will be connected to the water heater for a luxurious shower experience.

Step 5: Test the Water Heater

  1. Rotate the main valve and test the water flow through both the rain shower and the hand shower. Adjust the valve to ensure the flow is even, and make sure that both outlets are functioning properly.
