1. Placering: Position the drain pan on a flat, level surface where the water heater will be installed. Ensure there is adequate space around the pan for future maintenance.

5. Betjening

The Eastman Water Heater Drain Pan operates passively. Once installed, it functions as a containment vessel for any water that may leak from the water heater. Water collected in the pan will be directed through the connected drain pipe to prevent accumulation and potential damage to the surrounding area.

• Regelmæssig inspektion: Periodically inspect the drain pan for any signs of cracking, damage, or debris accumulation.
• Kontrol af afløbsledning: Ensure the connected drain pipe is clear of obstructions and allows for unimpeded water flow.
• Rensning: If debris or sediment accumulates in the pan, carefully remove the water heater (if safe to do so) and clean the pan with mild soap and water. Rinse thoroughly.

7. Fejlfinding

• Water Overflowing Pan: Check if the drain pipe is clogged or if the pan is incorrectly sized for the water heater's potential leak volume. Ensure the drain pipe has a continuous downward slope.
• Pan Cracking: Inspect the pan for signs of excessive weight or impact. Ensure the water heater is properly seated and not causing undue stress on the pan. Replace if severely damaged.
• Drain Fitting Leak: If the connection between the PVC fitting and the drain pipe leaks, re-apply plumbing sealant or thread tape and ensure the connection is tightened appropriately.
