Hot Water Heater Bosch tankless hot water heater, capable of delivering an endless supply of hot water Cabin System’s shutdown and drain procedure Electrical shut down: Turn wind brake on; turn solar panel feed, inverter, and circuit breakers to well, cabin and studio, off. Water shut down: Turn off the input valve from the well. Open the valve to the plumbing run to the cabin. Open the valve to the run to the studio, and open the valve to the kitchen and bathroom sinks to release the vacuum so that the water will drain. Empty the drain bucket. Optional: Turn off gas valve at the propane tank. (We leave the pilot light on the water heater burning in the cellar when we leave for the winter as this small amount of heat keeps the cellar above freezing.) All of the gas appliances have shut off valves so they can all be turned off individually. Cabin System open up procedure Reverse all of the above instructions. If the gas valve was turned off, light the pilot light on the water heater, stove burners and oven, and the refrigerator. (In the summer we turn off the gas and pilot lights on the heaters.) previous page // www.upwaterfront.com // contact us Disclaimer |
