SECTION 1
The AQUA SMART™ system is an energy saving device that retrofits on any 208-240
volt electric hot water heater. The system consists of the Receiver which mounts on top
of the electric hot water heater. The Receiver is wired into the water heater’s junction box
on top of the water heater. The Receiver includes 2-way signaling software that allows
the Receiver and Transmitter to communicate with each other, confirming signals have
been received by each other, as illustrated by an ICON on the transmitter’s LCD.
The AQUA SMART™ system includes a Wireless, Remote Control Transmitter that
signals the Receiver to operate in one of FOUR modes: ON, AWAY, VACATION or
PROGRAM. The system operates on one of 1,048,576, unique security codes that are
programmed into the transmitter at the factory. The Transmitter’s security code must be
matched to the Receiver upon INITIAL SET-UP. The operating distance of the AQUA
SMART™ system can be up to100 feet depending on any obstructions and/ or electrical
or metallic interference between the Receiver and Transmitter. A test to verify the
communication/operating distance is discussed in a later section. See pages (18-19).
WATER TEMPERATURE
READING FOR “BALANCING”
PROCEDURE
In the TRANSMITTER package, you will find
a small thermometer strip you will use later
in the “BALANCING” programming
procedure. (See pages 23-24 for a detailed
explanation of this procedure).
The “BALANCING” programming is EXTREMELY important to the proper
set up of the transmitter and operation of the AQUA SMART™ system. We
recommend you proceed with the above step NOW so that the HOT water
pipe will cool down before the “BALANCING” number is entered into the
Transmitter. (See pages 23-24 for the BALANCING procedure).
Draw a small glass of HOT water from a faucet that the water heater
supplies and drop the thermometer strip into the water. Write down the mid-
temperature reading from the strip. Save for later use when performing the
“BALANCING” procedure on the Transmitter. (See Set-Up pages 23-24).

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS – (continued)
A.
Shut off the electrical power
to the hot water heater at
the breaker panel, fuse box
or power switch near the
water heater.
B. Remove the junction box cover(s) on
top of the water heater. Use ¼” nut
driver, screwdriver or wrench to
remove screws.
C. Check that power has been
disconnected with a circuit tester
or volt meter.
Verify that the power has been disconnected, with a voltmeter
or circuit tester, testing other incoming “HOT” wires.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS
FIRST - SHUT OFF POWER TO HOT WATER HEATER
SECOND - EXPOSE & TEST WIRES IN JUNCTION BOX
IMPORTANT: If you lack the necessary skills or understanding of the wiring of
a 208-240V electric hot water heater, or you have difficulty or hesitation
following these instructions, you should not proceed with this installation and
should contact a qualified electrician or plumber to perform the installation of
the AQUA SMART™ system.
