1.2 Safety considerations

Read all instructions before installing. Perform the steps in the indicated

sequence. Have the DHW tank inspected by a trained service technician

at least once every year. Failure to comply with these instructions can

result in severe, possibly fatal, personal injury as well as damage to

property and equipment.

Installation and maintenance

▶ Risk of fire from soldering and brazing!

Take appropriate protective measures when soldering and brazing as

the insulation is flammable, for example, cover the insulation.

▶ Ensure that only a licensed contractor installs or services the DHW

tank.

▶ Use installation material with adequate temperature stability.

Forbidden:

Connection of the potentiostat for an impressed current anode to the

magnesium anode installed in a storage tank is absolutely forbidden!

This would destroy the tank! The warranty would be voided.

Installation and commissioning

▶ In the Commonwealth of Massachusetts, the DHW tank must be

installed by a licensed plumber.

▶ The electrical power must be connected by a licensed electrician.

The wiring diagram must be followed.

▶ Do not install this device in rooms with a high moisture level

(e.g. bathrooms, saunas).

Function

▶ To ensure that the tank functions properly, heed these installation and

maintenance instructions.

▶ Never close the blow-off line of the T&P safety valve. For safety

reasons, water may escape during heating.

Danger from electric shock

▶ Ensure that only an authorized contractor performs electrical work.

▶ Before performing electrical work, disconnect the power and secure

the unit against unintentional reconnection.

▶ Ensure the system has been disconnected from the power supply.

Risk of scalding at the hot water draw-off point

▶ When the DHW tank is in operation, temperatures in excess of 122 °F

(50 °C) can occur. To limit the temperature at the tap, install a

thermostatic DHW mixing valve.

▶ Water heated for washing the laundry, dishes and for other cleaning

purposes can cause scalding and permanent injuries.

▶ Children, elderly, and handicapped persons are more likely to be

permanently injured by hot water. Never leave such individuals in the

tub or shower unattended under any circumstances. Children must

not be allowed to operate hot water faucets themselves or to fill a

bathtub.

▶ If the building has occupants in the above groups who operate hot

water faucets, or state laws / local ordinances stipulate specific water

temperatures, take the following precautions:

– Use the lowest possible temperature setting.

– To prevent scalding, install a tempering device, such as an

automatic mixing valve, at hot water tap or water heater. Select and

install the automatic mixing valve in accordance with the valve

manufacturer's recommendations and instructions.

▶ Water exiting from drain valves can be extremely hot. To avoid

injuries:

– Check that all connections are tight.

– Direct exiting water away from people.

▶ Measures must be taken to protect against excessive temperature and

pressure! Installation of a T&P safety valve is required.

The chart below shows the relationship between water temperature and

time until there is a risk of scalding. It can be used as the basis for

determining the safest water temperature for your application.

To protect against corrosion and ensure compliance with the rules for

electrical safety, observe the following points:

▶ Use metal fittings for drinking water heating systems with plastic

piping.

▶ Use only original accessories from the manufacturer.

▶ When installation of the tank is complete, inspect the ground

conductor (including metal fittings).

Maintenance

Customers are advised to:

▶ Sign a maintenance and inspection contract with an authorized

contractor. Inspect and maintain the DHW tank as necessary on a

yearly basis. Service as needed.

▶ Use only original spare parts.

Flooding

▶ After a flood, do not use the appliance if any part has been

submerged. Damage to appliances that have been submerged can be

quite severe and pose numerous safety risks.

▶ An appliance that was subject to flooding must be replaced.

Temperature Time to severe scalding

120 °F (48 °C) longer than 5 minutes

125 °F (51 °C) 1.5 to 2 minutes

130 °F (54 °C) approx. 30 seconds

135 °F (57 °C) approx. 10 seconds

140 °F (60 °C) less than 5 seconds

145 °F (62 °C) less than 3 seconds

150 °F (65 °C) approx. 1.5 seconds

155 °F (68 °C) approx. 1 second

5.2.2 Installing a T&P safety valve (on-site)

▶ Install a listed T&P safety valve that is approved for potable water

( ¾ ") in the DHW outlet.

▶ This DHW tank must be installed with a new T&P safety valve.

▶ The T&P valve must be sized no smaller than the rated tank capacity.

▶ Observe the safety valve installation instructions.

▶ T&P discharge pipe:

– The discharge pipe must be at least equal to the outlet cross-

section of the safety valve.

– Route the discharge line from the T&P valve directly to an adequate

drain (maximum length 6 ft (2m) with no more than two 90°-

elbows).

– The discharge line must terminate at an adequate drain in order to

prevent property damage from spillage.

– Check that the T&P safety valve operates properly at least once

annually.

▶ Never plug the blow-off line. During heating, water may be discharged

for operational reasons at any time.

5.3 Install a tank water temperature sensor (accessory)

or aquastat (accessory).

Install a tank temperature sensor or an aquastat on the DHW tank to

measure and monitor the hot water temperature.

Installing the DHW temperature sensor

▶ Take the tank temperature sensor from the scope of delivery of the

control panel (accessories).

▶ Insert the sensor set until it bottoms out inside the sensor well [5].

This automatically pushes back the plastic spiral [3] that holds the

sensor set together.

The compensating spring [4] ensures contact between the sensor well

and sensor surfaces, and a reliable temperature reading.

chapter 7.1.

8 Environmental Protection / Disposal

Environmental protection is a fundamental principle of the

Bosch Group.

Quality of products, efficiency and environmental protection are equally

important objectives for us. All legislation pertaining to the environment

is strictly observed.

Packaging

For the packaging, we participate in the country-specific recycling

systems, which guarantee optimal recycling. All packaging materials

used are environmentally-friendly and recyclable.

Old appliances

Old appliances contain materials that should be recycled.

The relevant assemblies are easy to separate, and all plastics are

identified. This allows the various components to be sorted for

appropriate recycling or disposal.

9 Maintenance

▶ Allow the DHW tank to cool down sufficiently before performing any

maintenance.

▶ Remedy all faults immediately.

▶ Use original spare parts only!

▶ The tank must be inspected annually and maintained as required.

▶ Check the T&P safety valve annually.

9.1 Preparing the DHW tank for cleaning

The SU80/5 and SU100/5 tanks are cleaned by means of the cleanout

on the side. The SU54/5 tank is cleaned by means of the cleanout at the

top.

▶ Disconnect electrical power from the heating system.

▶ Drain the DHW tank. To do so, close the shut-off valve for cold water

inlet and the open drain valve. To vent the system, open the air vent

valve or the highest faucet.

▶ Remove the PS top cover (SU54/5) ( Fig. 17, page 14, [1]) or

cleanout cover shroud (SU80/5, SU100/5) ( Fig. 18, page 14,

[1]) from the tank.

▶ Loosen the hex bolts [2] in the cleanout cover [3].

NOTICE: Risk of system damage from excessive

pressure!

Excessive pressure can result in tension cracks in the

enamel coating.

▶ Never plug the discharge line of the T&P safety valve.

Use only drinking water to check the DHW tank for leaks.

On the DHW side, the test pressure must not exceed

145 psi (10 bar) gauge pressure.

CAUTION: Risk of tank damage!.Residual moisture can

result in corrosion.

▶ Thoroughly dry out the inside (e. g. by means of hot

air) and leave the cleanout cover open.

WARNING: Risk of scalding from hot water!

▶ Let the tank cool down sufficiently.

Fully drain the tank – even the lowest section of the tank

and the heating coil.

DANGER: RISK OF SCALDING

Hot water can cause scalding.

▶ Prior to cleaning, allow the DHW tank to cool down

sufficiently.

9.2 Descaling/cleaning the DHW tank

▶ Check the DHW tank interior for scale deposits (calcium).

Should scale deposits be discovered inside the DHW tank, proceed as

follows:

▶ Hose down the inside of the DHW tank with a “high-pressure” (approx.

58 – 72.5 psi (4 - 5 bar) gauge pressure) cold water jet.

You can increase the cleaning effect by heating up the heat exchanger

in the drained tank before cleaning. The thermal shock effect releases

scale deposits more easily from the coil-type heat exchanger.

▶ Use a wet & dry vacuum cleaner with plastic suction hose to remove

the residues.

Extremely tough scale deposits inside the DHW tank can be removed by

chemical means. We recommend that you have a qualified contractor

carry out the chemical cleaning operation.

9.3 Checking the magnesium anode

The purpose of the anode rod is to protect the DHW tank against

corrosion. It is critical that the anode rod be inspection once a year to

determine whether it requires replacing.

Upon inspection, the anode rod surface should appear smooth. If the rod

surface appears pitted, bumpy, rusty, scale has built up on the surface,

or if the rod is less than 5/8" (15 mm) in diameter, then it must be

replaced.

Certain installations may require more frequent replacement of the

anode rod:

• Recirculation applications,

• Poor water quality,

• Galvanic/electrolytic corrosion,

• High flow applications.

In the event of poor water quality it is recommended that a water

treatment professional be consulted for water treatment options.

9.3.1 Checking the upper magnesium anode (SU80/5, SU100/5)

▶ Remove PS top cover if not already removed.

▶ Unscrew the magnesium anodes.

▶ Check the magnesium anodes for decomposition.

▶ Replace the magnesium anode if its diameter has been reduced to

approx. 5/8 " (15 mm).

▶ Screw the magnesium anodes back into the cover.
